Sosta di una notte
Pros:

Bellissima e curata in ogni dettaglio. La sistemazione era nell’edificio adiacente. Stanze grandi e moderne. Colazione abbondante e internazionale. Comodo alle escursioni in barca.

Cons:

Non ho apprezzato la porta del bagno scorrevole perché si apriva di continuo.

Für eine Übernachtung auf unserer Islandrundreise sehr gut gewesen.
Pros:

Frühstück war sehr gut auch die Lage zur Innenstadt war schön, Parkplätze genug vorhanden.

Cons:

Wir hatten Zimmer im Dachgeschoss und durch die Dachschrägen waren wir als größere Menschen sehr eingeschränkt und man ist schon mal an die Gaubeninnenkanten angeeckt.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

I liked the rooms are extremely small. I saw people taking chairs and benches out into the corridor because there simply wasn’t enough space to open a suitcase. We had the same issue – had to constantly rearrange things in the room just to fit it.

The TV is very, very outdated. There’s no Smart TV at all, and even the available channels barely worked – they kept freezing, and the cable looked damaged and didn’t properly connect.

The internet was poor and disconnected very frequently.

Also, note that there is no elevator, so this hotel is really not suitable for people traveling with luggage for several reasons 🙂

When we arrived, the room felt like the Ice Age – all windows were wide open and the heating was turned off. Once we closed the windows, after a while a specific, not very pleasant smell appeared in the room, so we understood why they had been left open.
