Pros:

Ciche, przestronne pokoje, ale nieco przestarzałe i wymagające odświeżenia. Kilka ciekawych, starych pamiątek na korytarzach i w holu, a także wokół jadalni i baru. Śniadanie było urozmaicone, z mnóstwem islandzkich smakołyków do spróbowania.

Cons:

Hotel wydaje się dość stary, z przestarzałym wystrojem i meblami. Brak czajnika w pokoju.

This is not my first time staying at this hotel, and I will be staying here again.
Pros:

The breakfast was simply delicious. The hotel was strikingly quiet and peaceful.

I lost my sunglasses somewhere out there. But it's entirely my fault :)

Pros:

The hotel room is very large, there is a parking lot, the environment is also good, and the breakfast is very rich. The hotel will wait for you to check in.

Cons:

The only drawback is that there is no network signal in our room. Neither mobile network nor Wi-Fi. Unless you are standing in the corridor outside the door of the room. Please remember that there is no Internet in Room 4. And no one can help you solve the network problem. Back to the room can only lose the network signal.

Peccato perché la posizione è fantastica, ma nel complesso non è nulla di che.
Pros:

Stanze molto spartane e con un arredamento poco curato. Ci sono delle belle vetrate in stanza ma sono sporchissime. Il ristorante è caro e si mangia male. La peggiore colazione del nostro viaggio.

Pros:

Educazione e cortesia del personale

Cons:

La colazione é drammatica, la struttura necessita ammodernamenti, qualche servizio in piú sarebbe gradito...
