Extremely clean, nice and warm, great location and very modern.
Pros:

Good location, very modern inside. Rooms were spotlessly clean and nice and warm. Beds comfy. Everything you needed in the rooms - towels, hairdryer, mini fridge, hand wash, shampoo and conditioner.
Self check in, and there is a phone for any issues you may have. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

TV didn’t work in the room.

Cons:

The bathroom floor drains poorly. Every time after showering, water accumulates in both the bathroom and the room. Additionally, when the guest requested a change of check-in date, the staff not only refused but absurdly suggested that the guest book an extra day instead.

Mjög þröngt. Þarf að senda mynd af skilríkjum. Ekki vel þrifið (hár á klósettsetu).

Pros:

La camera è piccola ma comunque molto accogliente e sopratutto caldissima.

Cons:

É un po lontano dal centro ma niente che una buona passeggiata non possa risolvere. Unica pecca il lavandino davvero molto piccolo, era quasi impossibile usarlo senza schizzare ovunque.
