Cons:

Purtroppo abbiamo avuto degli inconvenienti durante il nostro soggiorno.
La camera assegnataci aveva il lavandino rotto, ci hanno spostato in un’altra stanza purtroppo molto sporca (capelli nel letto, un nacho per terra).
In ogni caso siamo stati assistiti da un ragazzo giovanissimo molto cordiale ma non ancora competente nella gestione di queste situazioni ( sembrava come se non avesse ricevuto alcuna direttiva).

A comfortable stay, nestled into an absolutely beautiful and magical place.
Pros:

The location was amazing. Such a beautiful view from the window. Staff were very friendly and helped us get checked in early when they heard they my daughter was sleeping in the car. I really appreciated this as it was a long journey there (flight + drive + wait) and really nice to check in early

Cons:

Nothing worth noting. It is a charming town and a nice accommodation :) Staff were accommodating and helpful.

Ágætis herbergi sem voru hrein, en vantaði slá og hanka fyrir handklæði
Pros:

Starfsmenn voru vingjarnlegir

Cons:

Forstofugólf og teppi og rúður í útidyrahurð voru mjög óhrein og við vorum fyrst á staðinn. Gátum ekki náð í starfsfólk í síma.

Pros:

Sauberkeit und Grösse des Zimmers

Cons:

Für zwei Nächte 522 Franken, also über 130 Franken pro Person und Nacht ist absoluter Abriss, auch wenn wir das Frühstück gratis dazubuchen konnten. Aber wir haben nie jemanden von den Angestellten gesehen, das Badezimmer war grosszügig und sauber, aber das Zimmer hatte den Charme einer Containersiedlung, die Heizug hing nicht mehr an der Wand und die Aussicht ist in die Hafenanlagen - also die Hallen und Silos - nicht aufs Meer oder den Berg...
