Cons:

No staff at hotel, email of hotel code not sent and no number to call you need to drive to another Hotel 300M away to get the code and then the person looks at me like im stupid because I ask if there are different codes or a key for main entrance and my door. Also not a single accomodation for eating your own dinner (no plates, no microwave etc) even tho were in the middle of Iceland and all nearby hotels have those accomodations

Nie udalo nam sie wypoczac przed dalsza droga.
Pros:

Wygodne łózko. Sniadanie bylo dobre i wybor byl wystarczajacy.

Cons:

Okna, drzwi i sciany zupelnie nie izolują od halasu. Trafila nam sie glosna i niekulturalna ekipa Włochow i niestety nie moglismy spac. Wieczorem glosne rozmowy i halasy w budynku i w wannie na zewnatrz, Od 6 rano robili kawe w ekspresie i to nas obudzilo. Poza tym woda w kranach jest geotermalna i ma niezbyt ladny zapach. Smakuje jeszcze gorzej :/

Pros:

床鋪可愛的折花，自助入住用密碼鎖進入，沒有鑰匙的煩惱，走路就可以到的Skogafoss省了一次停車費，晚餐附近有一間餐廳可以去，但需預定，熱水應該是溫泉水，洗完滑滑的，入住大廳有貼心的飲料、巧克力可以自行取用

Pros:

The staff were brilliant - let us change the date of our booking last minute, took our breakfast order and chatted about local culture.

The hot tub was lovely and we had it all to ourselves. Sauna was cute but cold - we decided we were too tired to wait for it to heat up so we didn't ask them to. Decking outside so nice to walk around barefoot between facilities.

The location is good - it felt remote, with a field behind and unobstructed view of the hills. It's a five minute walk to the river and ten minutes to the waterfall itself. I wish we'd been able to stay for longer and get some proper hikes in!

Coffee machine / hot chocolate / tea and herbal tea selection with chocolates next to this (cute touch!).

We enjoyed our breakfast :)

Cons:

As others have mentioned, there was a bit of a smell in the bathroom and the water didn't taste great. We wondered if this maybe varies according to season - we went in January, off-season and we were the only people in the place. The bathroom had a whiff of mould and stale water. The tap wouldn't run cold either, so not great for drinking! This was the only downside.
