Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal und gutes Essen. Abendessen und Frühstück waren super!

Cons:

Leider nur lauwarmes Wasser und viele viele Mücken/Fliegen.. Etwas unangenehm, aber trotz allem völlig ausreichend für 1 Nacht

Mala relación calidad precio
Cons:

Me parece un precio altísimo para lo que ofrece. El hotel es muy normal. Desde luego no vale lo que costó. El desayuno bastante normal.

Blood sucking midges will be your bunk mate
Pros:

Location is 10 minutes from hofn center. Lots of parking.

Cons:

Everything else. Most thin beds and pillows I’ve ever seen in Iceland. The rooms have a clinical feel to them. No art on the walls. Just white and sterile.

I’m primarily writing this review because if you have your window open for any amount of time, expect an armada of blood sucking midges to infest your room. There’s no AC or ceiling fans so not being able to use the window was a problem. We had our room infested and had to leave in the middle of the evening on our first night of a 3 night stay. After a very unpleasant exchange with the hotel manager, we had to get a refund through booking.com. ALSO if they say shared bathroom they mean 1-2 stalls for over a dozen people on your floor.

This is our 5th trip to Iceland. We’ve never seen anything like this. I’d rather just go camping over staying here.

Aufgrund der Zustände im Zimmer absolut nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, gute Lage und Restaurant dabei.

Cons:

Im Zimmer herrschte starker modriger Geruch und sobald man das winzige Fester zum Lüften öffnete, kamen unzählige Fliegen herein, die uns in der Nacht den Schlaf raubten. Zudem sind die Zimmer extrem hellhörig, sodass wir das Schnarchen des Zimmernachbarn gehört haben.

Bien pero con reparos
Pros:

Limpio, buena ubicación, muy buena atención del personal.

Cons:

Calefacción demasiado alta, no se podía ventilar la habitación abriendo la ventana porque se llenaba de mosquitas molestas. Lavabo demasiado pequeño e incómodo. Poco insonorizado.

Pros:

Colazione

Cons:

Durante il secondo giorno del soggiorno la nostra camera è stata invasa da moscerini che succhiano il sangue come le zanzare. Si infilavano dalla cornice della finestra ed hanno completamente riempito la camera e ci hanno causato numerose punture.
