מלון שקט ונעים תמורה טובה למחיר
Pros:

מקלחת טובה מלון אמיתי ולא בקתה קיבלתי קוד כניסה לחדר . היה קל למצוא. סביבה מטופחת ויפה. נוף יפה מהחלון. החדר היה נקי ונעים. ארוחת בוקר טעימה מגוונת עם חביתה עם כמה אפשרויות. במיקום הזה היה מאוד נקי מאורות הצלחנו לראות את אורות הצפון . תמורה טובה למחיר . הגענו מאוחר לאחר סגירת הקבלה אז השאירו לנו מעטפה עם כרטיס כניסה לחדר. זה היה לדעתי מאוד נחמד

Cons:

מזרן רך מאוד!! קומת כניסה . תקשורת לא רציפה עם הבעלים. ניסיתי לברר לגבי אפשרויות לאכול בסביבה או במלון ולא קיבלתי תשובה. לכן נאלצתי לאכול בערב בעיר שליד . אבל לפי ביקורות קודמות היתה מסעדה טובה במלון. חדר אוכל בבוקר היה יכול להיות יותר נקי

Simple Abode with a View
Pros:

Checking in and out was a breeze, without any formalities, ... very nice. The room was simple, no frills, but all fine; shower is connected to a boiler, thus of limited capacity at any one time. The breakfast was ok, not great, but pretty similar to the three other places I have stayed at while in Iceland, including two 4-star hotels. The staff was very friendly. When the cloud cover lifts, there is a clear view to the famous namesake volcano in the distance.
