Pros:

Rooms are comfortable and staff are friendly. The northern lights wake up is a definite bonus and means we managed to see the northern lights twice in our four night stay

Cons:

The restaurant food is very good but expensive

Pros:

L’accueil était très chaleureux, la réceptionniste parle français et nous a donné plein d’explications et c’était un plaisir d’échanger avec elle.
L’hôtel propose de nous réveiller pour les aurores boréales en tapant à la porte.
Le petit déjeuner était compris dans le prix il était copieux et avec beaucoup de choix.
C’est une adresse à retenir pour un prochain séjour en été avec des protections contre les mouches (myvatn en français veut dire le lac des mouches) !!!

Pros:

Odalar genişti, camlar çok büyüktü manzarayı izlemek için harikaydı. Odaya fazladan yastık da koymuşlardı. Kahvaltı 5 yıldızı hak ediyordu. Fiyat/performans olarak çok iyiydi.

The best view from a room I've had on my Iceland trip
Pros:

Amazing views from the lake view room - definitely recommend taking such an option. Aurora was beautifully visible, even from a bed.
Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated.

Cons:

Prices in the restaurant were a bit too much for us, but the breakfast is included with the room price and was great.

Miglior soggiorno avuto in islanda
Pros:

Posto veramente stupendo, dalla posizione alla struttura, gli interni super curati con tavolo da ping pong, tv design, bar, colazione buonissima. Prezzo abbastanza contenuto per quello che ci hanno dato.
