Pros:

Le seul intérêt de cet hôtel est son emplacement et la facilité de parking + le supermarché Bonus de l’autre côté de la rue.

Cons:

Prix exorbitant au regard des prestations comme souvent en Islande.
Chambre petite, spartiate, même pas de mini réfrigérateur.

Comfortable stay. Accommodating staff. Possible to check in early for 48 dollars. Nice hot shower. No AC but none needed. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast spread. Loved being next to thr grocery store. Had a parking spot. Plenty of indoor casual seating.

Cons:

It was a bit further from the hussle and bustle but it wasn't necessary to be in the thick of it.

We only stayed one night, so there was nothing to dislike.

Pros:

Very comfortable bed and pillows

Cons:

The triple room was small, just a double with an extra bed. The bathroom had a glass door, with no isolation, you could hear everything, no intimacy.

Go for front rooms
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff. Best shampoo conditioner of any hotel I have stayed in. Lovely beds

Cons:

Relentless reverse beeping of trucks delivering goods to supermarket behind between 6 and 10 am. No chance of sleeping on even with windows closed.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Near to city center, with some shops along the way.
They have a small room but it’s clean and it has private toilet and bath. Theres a pick Up and drop off from flybus, we arranged it from the airport. A few minutes walk from bus #2 where they dropped us off from our tour.

Cons:

None

Vicinissimo al centro e parcheggio gratuito
Pros:

Ottima posizione e parcheggio gratuito. Gentilezza e professionalità dello staff, a partire dalla reception.

Cons:

Bagno separato da semplice porta bidirezionale, senza serratura, probabilmente dovuta all'assenza di finestra e aspiratore.
