Great stay- fantastic location. Nice lodging. Clean, spacious, large common area, easy check-in
Pros:

Great location in lovely town. Large comfy clean common lounge area, private bathroom, comfy bed, nicely-decorated hallways. Lots of parking. Easy check in & out.

Cons:

Nothing- though doors had to be pulled hard to shut when leaving which was noisy.

Great place to stay in a great location.
Pros:

After reading some poor reviews we were pleasantly surprised with this property. Room was great, good size and well apportioned ensuite. Downstairs restaurant and reception were very neat. We had use of the coffee machine, microwave and fridge in the restaurant. The room had a kettle and coffee. Heaps of parking out back.

Cons:

The breakfast seemed quite expensive at 20Euro each. The walls were a little thin!

Pros:

Pretty much nothing. Felt like a ghost town in the hotel. If it wasnt Kirkjufell we' never stay

Cons:

Humid and partially smelly rooms, leaking shower cabin, not too clean floor, no one at reception, normal noise from other rooms and corridor can be heard easily as it's an old building

Pros:

Kleines, einfaches Hotel, ordentlich und sauber.
Zimmer groß genug, sind auch ordentlich und sauber.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen war beim Einchecken und am Morgen freundliches Personal da.
Frühstück recht einfach, aber gut.
Auch im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen fand ich es nicht schlimm das Brot aus der Tüte und die Lebensmittel aus dem Kühlschrank zu nehmen.
Die Lage ist günstig zum erkunden der Halbinsel.

Cons:

Schlimm war das Verhalten anderer Gäste beim Frühstück, welche zu doof sind die Brottüten wieder zu verschließen oder wie Tiefbauarbeiter in der Butter rumpopeln.
