Cons:

There are no cups and kettle.
The bed light is too close to one of the beds, which make it very easy to hit my head.
One bed has no power socket near by.

Hotel cómodo y con parqueo propio
Pros:

Ya me había quedado en este hotel en el 2018, y lo volví a escoger porque tiene parqueo propio ( no debes andar buscando donde aparcar en la calle) Aunque está un poco alejado del centro, en 10 minutos estás en la calle más popular de la ciudad. El desayuno es abundante, el personal amable y las habitaciones confortables. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Cons:

Por decir algo, el agua tiene mucho olor a azufre, pero es normal en islandia.

sehr netter Aufenthalt in Reykjavik
Pros:

Das Hotel ist eher einfach aber super gemütlich. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausreichend bestückt und das Angebot hat gut geschmeckt. Die Betten und Pölster waren genau richtig - nicht zu weich und nicht zu hart. Für uns perfekt. Das Badezimmer war mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Die Dusche hat gut funktioniert - Wasserstrahl und Ablauf. Am Abend konnte man im Frühstücksbereich sitzen und z.B. Spiele spielen. Da konnte man auch Kaffee oder Tee (beides kostenlos) trinken. Auf der Theke stand ab dem späten Nachmittag ein hausgemachter Kuchen zur freien Entnahme bereit. Das Ambiente war total nett und heimelig. Beim nächsten Islandbesuch werden wir dieses Hotel ganz bestimmt wieder in Betracht ziehen. Der große Parkplatz ist auch noch erwähnenswert.
