Good stay with great breakfast
Pros:

The property is very close to the Hofn. The hotel has a great view of the glacier. The breakfast was pretty good as well, one of the best we had in our trip among the places.

Cons:

The parking situation can get a little tricky. Not many spaces as such, but we were able to leverage their bus parking slots so it worked out just fine.

Beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité des équipements
Pros:

Juste l’emplacement, le reste était déplorable

Cons:

Le siphon de la douche était bouché, un lit de bébé était dans la chambre sans raison. Personnel peu sympathique. N’y allez pas !

Pros:

Hotel é uma ótima opção para quem deseja apenas uma noite de estadia, em um giro de carro pela Islândia.
Comida do Restaurante é muito boa.

Cons:

- Banheiro e box do banheiro bem pequeno
- Máquina de café não tinha reposição. Deixaram faltar chocolate e disseram que não tinha mais no estoque para efetuar a reposição.

Pros:

Beautiful views and property just as described.

Cons:

The room was super expensive, I get it I signed up for that however, it was the only hotel (and most expensive) that did not include breakfast.
