Unser Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft war sehr angenehm. Das Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und sauber, sodass wir uns direkt wohlgefühlt haben. Besonders schön war auch die Aussicht – wirklich ein toller Blick, den wir sehr genossen haben. Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Prima plek om de oost kust van IJsland te ontdekken.
Pros:

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, goed verzorgde kamers met Nespresso apparaat en voldoende keuze bij het ontbijt. Sfeervol oud gebouw dat is gelegen aan het Lagarfljót meer. Kortom een prima plek om de oost kust van IJsland te ontdekken.

Pros:

Teníamos reserva en otro sitio y debido a un temporal no pudimos acceder. Decidimos quedarnos en este hotel y fue una decisión muy acertada. El personal fue muy muy amable, nos dejaron entrar antes de la hora prevista. Estaba todo muy limpio, habitaciones espaciosas. El desayuno fue fantástico, tenían absolutamente de todo.

Pros:

Grosse, gemütliche und saubere Zimmer. Tolles Restaurant. Personal unkompliziert, als wir eine Nacht länger bleiben mussten, weil alle Strassen wegen einem Wintersturm gesperrt waren.

Très joli hôtel
Pros:

Le staff. La chambre très belle et confortable avec la vue sur le lac. Le petit déjeuner et dîner au top.

Cons:

Cela manque un peu d’insonorisation entre les chambres. La
Première nuit nous avions des voisins très bavards que nous avons entendus jusqu’à minuit passé.
