Cons:

Si on a la chance d’avoir des pas trop bruyants la nuit pourrait peut-être être agréable. Hélas pour moi, cela n’a pas été le cas.

Nahe am Flughafen - mit Shuttelservice - lustige Idee
Pros:

Sehr nahe am Flughafen. Gibt sogar einen nett angelegten Fußweg dorthin!

Shuttelservice pünktlich und freundlich!

Lustige Erfahrung! Überraschend sauber, sowohl die Kapseln als auch die WC/Duschen.

Großer Aufenthaltsraum - hier kann man Nahrungsmittel die man nicht mehr braucht für andere Reisende da lassen! Tolle Idee!

Sehr nette und schöner kleiner Ort am Meer!

Cons:

Man hört einfach alles!!!
Lüftung wirklich laut!
Ein/zwei kleinere Ablagefllächen in den Kapseln wären toll!

Doporučuji po příletu, před odletem.
Pros:

Zajímavá zkušenost, přiletěli jsme po půlnoci a ubytování bylo v dochozi vzdálenosti (4km) po stezce, v létě bylo pořád vidět 🤪. Kapsle pohodlná, zamykací boxy, sprchy a toalety, vše čisté. Kuchyň s kávou, lednici a nádobím k dispozici. V lednici bylo nespotřebované jídlo (free to use), což jsme ocenili. Půjčovna Lotus Car zase v dochozi vzdálenosti (2km).

Pros:

Alles super sauber. Auch die 5 Gemeinschaftsbäder, von denen jedes einzelne mit einer Dusche, WC und einem Waschbe ken ausgestattet war. Es gab Handtücher und Seife.
Die Übernachtung in der Capsule selbst war ein Erlebnis für sich. Spannend. Man bekommt jedoch mit, wenn Gäste nachts spät kommen oder früh aufstehen.
Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich vorstellen kann. Kaffeeautomat und heißes Wasser standen kostenlos zur Verfügung.

Cons:

Die Anbindung zum Flughafen war schlecht. Es gibt keinen öffentlichen Nahverkehr, somit musste ich nach Rückgabe meines Mietwagens eine Taxe nehmen. Von der Unterkunft zum Flughafen gibt es einen halbstündigen, kostengünstigen Transport.
Die Bettwäsche war für mich leider recht unangenehm.

comfortable. basic. Warm. Dry. Set in a typical Icelandic Town. Fiendly local people.
Pros:

We arrived early but were still made welcome. free coffee and a good kitchen. The additional Bus service to the Airport was a good bonus, she was punctual and cheerful.

Cons:

silly lights in the pod....... But ...........Good air conditioning. Its what we expected. An unusual end to a tough two week in the wilds.

Would stay at the Blue Viking Pods again.
Pros:

Inside the pod was super clean and warm. I like the sound of the air circulation that drowned all outside noise. It helped ensure an excellent night's sleep. Also, the pick-up taxi ride to the airport was on time, as scheduled.

Cons:

The secure luggage for each pod was extremely small, only enough for one large piece of luggage.
