echt heel goed
Pros:

De locatie was midden in het centrum van Reydarfjordur, mooi gelegen, en 's nachts toch verrasend stil. het personeel was heel vriendelijk, de uitbater , een Ijslander, toonde ons de kamer, ruim, goed voorzien, Toonde ons de dineerplaats in club Cosy, ook deel van hun bedrijf, 's avonds hadden we nog een vraag, en dat maakte hij nog in orde, kwam even bij ons aan tafel, schonk een gratis borrel, en vrstrekte ons alle informatie waar we naar vroegen.

Cons:

De bedden waren iets te zacht naar onze smaak, maar toch heb ik er heel goed geslapen.

An older look and feel in the hotel, but very friendly staff. Shops nearby.
Pros:

The breakfast was a good, full breakfast, with plenty of options.
I arrived down for my brekkie just 10 minutes before it officially ended.
By that time the waitress had already moved things away, but she was very quick to bring me back absolutely everything!
=D

Very good service, although I only needed a few of the items already removed.

The view from the restaurant was cool, with mountains in two directions.
From my room I also say a huge mountain.

The location was really good, with food stores a walking distance away.

Cons:

The overall vibe was a bit 1970's, which could merit a lower price.
But travelling around the entire island of Iceland you get used to things being expensive.
=\

No elevators in the building, so if you don't have healthy legs, dragging your suitcase to the second floor could be cumbersome.
(I had no problems with this myself.)

Outdated and to high a price
Pros:

Outdated room, but ok in space. Friendly staff.

Cons:

The room was not a modern hotel room. The bathroom was terrible. It was a bathroom for a wheelchair and had no showercurtain. After showering the whole bathroom was wet and damp. The room was not really cleaned well, the towels had hairs still on them and the cups were not clean. High price comapared to the quality.
