Pros:

The bedroom was spacious, the bed was comfortable. The parking right in front was convenient. The breakfast buffet was nice.

Cons:

The bathroom was small, but nothing unusual compared to same-price hotels we've stayed at in Iceland.

Pros:

Jedzenie w hotelowej restauracji smaczne. Łóżka wygodne. Pokój hotelowy natomiast najsłabszy z dotychczasowych. Ciasny tylko na przetrwanie jednej nocy. Jak na 3 gwiazdki spodziewaliśmy się więcej. Natomiast lokalizacja względem atrakcji turystycznych oraz sklepów itp. znakomita.

Cons:

Problemy z ogrzewaniem oraz ciepłą wodą. Ciasnota. Brak lodówki, niewystarczająca ilość miejsca na przechowywanie odzieży i rzeczy osobistych dla wszystkich użytkowników pokoju. Reszta Ok.

Hotel Acogedor, personal amable y excelente Pizza
Pros:

Un hotel sencillo pero muy adecuado. Las habitaciones eran confortables, personal amable. El hotel cuenta con un restaurante donde cenamos pizza la cual estaba realmente buena. El desayuno es bastante abundante y bueno. Queda en el puro centro del pueblo, cerca de gasolineras y supermercados. Tiene su propio parqueo. Lo recomiendo
