Cons:

Leider ein kalter Schlafplatz.
Zimmer 310 ist bestückt mit Fenstern, die nicht dicht sind. Im Badezimmer war heizen vergebens, es sind kaum 10°C dort gewesen, da das Fenster trotzdem geschlossenem Zustand den Wind so stark hat durchlassen.
Im Schlafbereich war es nicht ganz so schlimm - angenehm ist jedoch etwas anderes, denn neben Kälte kommt auch jedes kleinste Geräusch ins Zimmer.
Kein erholsamer Aufenthalt - viel zu teuer für das, was ich dort bekommen habe.

Rewelacyjne lokalizacja i personel, bardzo polecam
Pros:

Śniadanie w porządku, można się najeść. Pokoje czyste, lokalizacja rewelacja (niedaleko do centrum, jak i do dworca autobusowego skąd odjeżdżają wycieczki). Przy recepcji przez cały dzień jest dostęp do ekspresu do kawy i herbaty.

Cons:

Hotel jest podzielone między dwa budynki, śniadanie jest w głównym budynku, byliśmy w drugim, więc na śniadanie potrzebowaliśmy ubierać się w kurtki za każdym razem.

Pros:

Situé à quelques pas de l'église de Reykjavik.
Nous avons trouvé des stationnements gratuits à proximité.
Le lit était confortable.

Cons:

La chambre se trouvait dans un bâtiment attenant. Toujours à proximité de l'église.
Petit bémol, pour profiter de l''espace café, thé en accès libre, il fallait ressortir pour rejoindre le bâtiment principal.
Cependant il y avait une machine à café avec 2 capsules et 2 sachets d'infusions dans la chambre.

Petit regret : nous avons prévenu 3 jours avant que nous ne pourrions pas honorer la 1ere nuit sur les 2 réservées (3 tempêtes ont complètement désorganisé notre planning), mais l'hôtel n'a jamais voulu faire un effort sur la nuit non utilisée car le délai d'annulation gratuite était dépassé.

Pros:

Sehr gemütlich, niedlich eingerichtet, top Lage, extrem hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter.
Die Pfannkuchen beim Frühstück waren super

Cons:

Zimmer eher klein, die Duschtür hat sich (aus baulichen Gründen) nicht schließen lassen. Wenn zwischen den Teilen der Türen die in der Mitte zusammentreffen 5cm fehlen und es keinen Weg gibt, diese zusammenzubringen, sollte das irgendwann mal aufgefallen sein

Scandaleux, meme si le personnel était très sympathique
Pros:

La localisation

Cons:

La taille de la chambre, la hauteur sous plafond, la taille de la salle de bain, pour des clients d’1m85. Du coup un rapport qualité prix catastrophique.
