Pros:

Tutto perfetto, ottimo anche il ristorante dell'hotel e la colazione. Come servizi ti offrono se vuoi la "sveglia" per avvisarti in caso sia presente durante la notte l'aurora boreale.

Un soggiorno davvero piacevole
Pros:

L’albergo è davvero molto curato. Gli ambienti sono accoglienti moderni e piacevoli con vetrate immerse in un paesaggio tipicamente islandese.
Ristorante ottimo, il migliore dove abbiamo mangiato in Islanda, servito da personale molto gentile, disponibile e cordiale.
Colazione eccellente con pane fresco e ampia scelta di dolce e salato

Unschlagbare Lage am See, noch gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Pros:

Modernes Hotel in direkter Nähe des Sees Mývatn. Unschlagbare Lage. Die Zimmer mit Aussicht über den See sind zu empfehlen! Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass wir unseren Hund mitnehmen durften. Auch positiv ist aufgefallen, dass das Menü im Restaurant vom immergleichen und etwas lieblosen Burger mit Pommes und Caesar-Salat abweicht. Der Fisch dort ist empfehlenswert. Noch gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für die recht teure Region.

Cons:

Die Oberkellnerin war sehr unfreundlich. Das restliche Personal war freundlich.

Un séjour au calme
Pros:

Nous avons eu une chambre avec vue sur les montagnes et les champs, sans vis-à-vis – un vrai havre de paix ! Dîner excellent au restaurant, bar agréable pour une bière, petit déjeuner buffet varié et grand parking. Une étape parfaite dans le nord de l'Islande, je recommande.

Cons:

Absence de sèche serviette dans la salle de bain.
