Passabel für 1Nacht
Pros:

Cooles Design und Möbel des Hotels sowie Restaurant

Cons:

Leider empfanden wir das Hotel in die Jahre gekommen.
Das Zimmer war staubig (es lag noch Müll von den vorderen Gästen im Zimmer herum).
Das Restaurant hatte einen starken Fisch Geruch, dadurch entschieden wir an einen anderen Ort zu essen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war minimalistisch und von schlechter Qualität. Uns hat es garnicht angesprochen dadurch haben wir nur einen Saft getrunken.

La ubicación

Cons:

Habitación pequeña. Desayuno poco variado. Sin servilletas en las mesas y los barriles eran incómodos para desayunar.

A lovely all round stay
Pros:

Property was equipped with hair dryer, soaps and clean towels daily if needed. We stayed in on the hours which was very cool, a bunk and three single beds to choose from! There was ample space inside the room and it was warm and bed comfy. The food in the restaurant (which is a separate building across) was good and all the staff in both hotel n restaurant were lovely, proving a warm great service. Supermarkets in 10 mins walk away and it’s 25 mins ish into Reykjavík but it’s situated in a nice lil area with plenty of restaurant options close by! It’s very cool for any Viking enthusiasts. Breakfast was ok, fruits cereal waffles and bread, juice and coffee also include. Parked at the front of the hotel with no issues.

Cons:

Nothing

Lovely stay but bathrooms could do with updating and breakfast could be reviewed
Pros:

Staff welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable

Cons:

A little dated in the bathrooms but towels/bedding etc clean. Comfortable beds but rather warm in the rooms for us so we had the heating off and windows open but each to their own. Breakfast was a little basic
