OK, men ret dyrt hotel
Pros:

Hotellet var OK, men meget dyrt også sammenlignet med de andre 6 steder vi boede i Island. Det var dog svært at finde noget i det område, så måske de derfor kan taget så høj pris. Det ene værelse havde ikke eget bad/toilet, det andet havde. Venligt personale

Cons:

Det var ret dyrt i forhold til standarden. Det var relativt basic (især til prisen). Morgenmaden OK, men også lidt skrabet i udvalg. Lidt spøjst at de spillede heavy metal til morgenmaden. Der var mitter om aftenen, så receptionisten anbefalede at man ikke åbnede vinduerne, men der var faktisk ret varmt. Hvis det er almindeligt kunne de måske have net for vinduerne. Vores ene datter endte med en masse stik. Restaurantens udvalg var ret begrænset/kedelig med standard hotelmad, men vi fandt en god restaurant (pakhus restaurant) i Höfn, der havde virkeligt god og spændende Islandsk mad.

預訂時不小心按到立即付款不可退款，後因有一組旅伴不能成行，導致出發前退一間房卻不能退款。本已抱著完全吸收這筆費用。入住時服務人員發現並主動幫我們升級免費附早餐，讓人驚喜且感恩。
