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.

Dobry hotel ze smacznym śniadaniem
Pros:

Hotel z przestronnymi przestrzeniami wspólnymi - dostępną dla gości salą z piłkarzykami, lobby i jadalnią. Przyjechaliśmy dość późno i niechętni do wyjść do restauracji. Bardzo miłym zaskoczeniem było że mogliśmy bez problemu w lobby zjeść zamówioną z miasta pizzę. Ponadto przy kuchni dostępna jest przez cały dzień dla gości ciepła woda i herbata - to bardzo miły gest. Hotel bardzo blisko centrum, w cichym miejscu. Śniadanie wystarczające z miłymi lokalnymi akcentami.

Cons:

Wyposażenie w hotelu dość stare, ale wszystko w odpowiednim stanie i czystości - więc nie ma na co narzekać.

Pros:

W pokoju czysto, miła i pomocna obsługa, pomagają w organizacji wycieczek i transferu na lotnisko z odbiorem spod hotelu. Smaczne śniadania, choć nam brakowało czegoś na ciepło typu parówka czy jajecznica. Herbata, kawa i woda dostępna cały czas w przyjemnej wspólnej przestrzeni, a wieczorem do tego pyszne ciasto :)

Good value, felt clean and safe. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Staff were very helpful. Cake each evening was lovely and my bed was super comfortable! It had a friendly chilled vibe. Breakfast was also good.

Cons:

The showers took a long time to warm up, and were not very hot - although I wonder if this is an Icelandic thing - I didn’t manage a super hot shower anyway there.

Consigliato
Pros:

Staff accogliente e gentilissimo, sempre pronto a rispondere con educazione, hotel pulito e camere carine. Buona la posizione e il fatto che sia una fermata di molti tour guidati che prelevano direttamente dall’hotel. Ambiente e camere ben riscaldate.

Cons:

Alla colazione mancava la frutta, c’erano solo uova sode e non strapazzate o cucinate in altro modo e sarebbe stata gradita qualche opzione dolce in più tipo croissant.
