Very clean and cozy room!
Pros:

The real place was exactly the same as the photo . The owner is nice, he wait for us for the late check-in. There are everything we need. The room was very clean and the bed was very cozy.
The location is good. We recommend for those who want a break at the middle to the West area.

Cons:

The room is slightly small, so the kitchen is the same area of the beds.

Islanda
Pros:

Buon hotel situato a lato di un piccolo fiume che al momento del nostro arrivo era completamente ghiacciato e sulla strada principale la n. 1. Abbastanza buona l'insonorizzazione. Ampio parcheggio. Hotel dotato di un grande ristorante che però non abbiamo provato. Host che ci ha accolti gentile, ci ha acceso la sauna (già compresa nel prezzo). Camere ampie dotate di tre letti e un divano, ampia vetrata con piccolo terrazzino. Presente una cucina ben funzionante, bagno dotato di lavatrice e ampio. Tra le strutture dove abbiamo soggiornato questa è stata sicuramente la più pulita ed è l'unico posto dove ci ha accolti un host, che al momento della nostra partenza è venuto anche a salutarci. Ci siamo trovati bene.

Cons:

Tutto ok.
