Cons:

Das Restaurant hatte geschlossen. Ein Restaurant im Haus war der Grund für unsere Buchung dieses Hotels. Das Haus war nicht sauber.

Non il massimo del comfort
Pros:

La colazione, lo staff ed il comodo parcheggio sono state le uniche cose positive del soggiorno.

Cons:

L'hotel si presenza in più strutture, la reception non è il punto di accesso alle camere e nel nostro caso sotto una pioggia battente al buio , avendoci assegnato una camera di fronte allo stabile dell'hotel/recepion abbiamo dovuto spostarci dall'altra parte. (stessa cosa per la mattina a colazione, essendo diverse stanze in un'altro edificio, per raggiungere la sala colazioni bisogna uscire dalla struttura dei soli alloggi per spostarsi in quella della reception) struttura centrale appunto.
Di base la struttura dei soli alloggi ha più l'aria di ex dormitori ristrutturati a stanze d'albergo (anche male secondo me) perché al di là delle dimensioni della camera che era l'unica cosa passabile, il resto aveva tutta l'aria di essere vecchio e/o poco manutenuto. Ad esempio, il lavandino del bagno era piccolo, basso e molto scomodo per lavarsi semplicemente la faccia o i denti. Il sedile del water era di quelli di plastica leggera e sembrava non essere ben serrato.

Gutes Hotel in der Nähe von Höfn.
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück in einem schönen hellen Raum.

Cons:

Man sollte die Fenster wegen Insekten nicht öffnen. Es gab aber keine gute Klimaanlage, dadurch war es etwas stickig.

Pros:

Gute Parkmöglichkeit und einfacher Check-in.
Das Frühstück war o.k.

Cons:

Die Zimmer auf den Bildern entsprechen nicht ganz dem Bild vor Ort. Die Zimmer sind kalt & trostlos eingerichtet. Das Hotel ist schon alt. Das Nötigste ist jedoch vorhanden.
- Als wir das Zimmer betraten, war es sehr kalt, die Radiatoren fast ganz abgestellt.
- Die Wände sind extrem dünn, wir haben alles vom Nachbarn gehört.
- Die Matratzen sind durchgelegen und extrem weich.
- billige Einrichtung (z.B. Plastik- Wc- Ring, kein Schrank o.ä. )
- Es gab kein warmes Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Weder die Dusche noch das Wasser aus dem Wasserhahn konnte warm eingestellt werden.

Pros:

Le personnel était sympathique, la chambre propre même si un peu petite. Nous avons apprécié la nuit passé sur place. Le petit déjeuner était pas trop mal.
