O hotel deveria ser atualizado. É horrível ter cheiro de mofo nos corredores e no quarto.
Pros:

A localização é muito boa. A equipe de atendimento é muito atenciosa.

Cons:

O hotel não vale o preço que cobra. Havia cheiro de mofo no quarto e nos corredores. Pessoas que tenham alergia a mofo terão dificuldade de ficar neste hotel. No meu caso, tive que mudar para outro hotel pois sou alérgico a mofo. Além disso o café da manhã é muito simples. Se quiser um café expresso, terá que pagar em separado por isso !!!

Sentralt hotell, med god frokost og fine rom
Pros:

Frokosten var veldig bra!

Cons:

Hotellet ligger veldig sentralt noe som er bra! Men det betyr at det kan være litt bråk fra gatene i helgene.

Okay, aber teuer
Pros:

- sehr gute Lage zentral
- freundliches Personal
- in der Bar gibt es Brettspiele
- Frühstück war Sehr gut (inkl. warmer Sachen)

Cons:

- das Spa muss extra bezahlt werden (was an sich ok ist), allerdings war am Tag des Marathons eine private Veranstaltung, sodass wir erst am späten Abend hinein konnten. Diese Veranstaltung wurde beim Buchen nicht kommuniziert und hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich den Spa Zugang nicht erworben
- Zentrale Lage bedeutet auch Lärm durch den nahe liegenden Club
- das Bad muss von einem Mann geplant worden sein, es ist ein Glaskasten mitten im Zimmer. Man muss sich schon sehr gut mögen und kennen - grade nachts sieht man schon viel durch die Milchglasscheibe. Außerdem keine Ablagemöglichkeiten im Bad; Duschvohang.
- Licht im Zimmer spärlich. Das ganze Hotel ist eher dunkel und modern, aber ein funktionierendes helles Deckenlicht hätte das Packen vereinfacht

Gutes Hotel in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Super Lage; für Reykjavik günstiger Preis; moderne Einrichtung; Frühstück insgesamt gut

Cons:

Zimmer 2. Etage nach hinten - Blick auf Abluftrohre und Müll der Häuser gegenüber; auch Essensgerüche; Zimmer modern eingerichtet, doch für drei Personen etwas zu wenig Platz; keine Haken um Handtücher aufzuhängen; Frühstück im Untergeschoss ohne Ausblick (Raum recht düster, was mit dem modernen Stil des Hauses zu begründen ist)
