Csodas hely, csodás nyugalommal.
Pros:

Volt hajszárító és a körutunk legjobb tusfürdője volt, a zöldalmás tusfürdő, imádtuk😃

Cons:

Az ágy volt puhább a megszokottnál és a fürdés alkalmával a nagyon sokat kellett várni a melegvízre.

It was fine. Needed a good night sleep and got that.
Pros:

Clean room. Friendly staff

Cons:

Our 8th night, 6th location in Iceland — after a string of small, full of character places, this large hotel felt impersonal. The mattress was noticeably worse than the rest, felt springs. It was clean and did the job, but I'd hoped for more character out of an Iceland stay.

Pros:

Sauber, schnörkellos, das Frühstück war reichhaltig, angrenzend Pferdekoppeln, Blick auf die Wiese

Cons:

Wir waren im Anbau untergebracht, im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften war das Ambiente sehr schlicht, es wirkte eher kahl und schmucklos wie bei einer Hotelkette.

Tolles Hotel mit Aussicht auf Gletscher
Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine wunderschöne Lage mit Aussicht auf den Gletscher. Das Zimmer war sehr großzügig und auch das Badezimmer bot viel Platz. Das Personal war super freundlich und sehr fröhlich, dadurch war eine sehr schöne Stimmung. Auch das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig und es wurde alles immer sofort wieder aufgefüllt. Auch Sonderwünsche wurden mir einem Lächeln erfüllt.

Cons:

Alles bestens
