Pros:

L’emplacement et le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Le descriptif de l'annonce indique un réfrigérateur et l’emplacement dans la chambre est bien là mais vide! Quand j’ai demandé à l'accueil, on m’a dit que non, il n’y en a plus sur un ton peu aimable.

Pros:

Jó elhelyezkedés, viszonylag közel mindenhez, mi gyalog mentünk mindenhová a városban. A reggeli nagyon finom, nagy választék péksüteményekből, hideg és meleg ételek, müzli, joghurt, magok stb. A szoba tágas volt, ágy kényelmes. A parkolás az utca túloldalán ingyenes.

Cons:

Kicsit kevés volt a szerkény, de a szoba tágas, így nem volt zavaró ez sem.

Pros:

Aamiainen oli todella monipuolinen ja hyvä. Hotelli on pieni ja viihtyisä. Eri kerroksissa on pieniä kivoja oleskelutiloja, joista avautuu kauniit maisemat Halgrímskirkjalle. Pysäköinti oli helppoa, sillä hotellin läheltä löytyi aina maksuton kadunvarsipaikka autolle. Huone oli hiljainen ja sänky oikein hyvä. Nukuimme todella hyvin.

Great! Was comfortable, felt safe, good value and an easy process.
Pros:

Staff was great; I didn’t catch her name, but she was working late shift (Russian, blonde hair). Very nice and helpful. Great twin bed rooms with window you can open. Easy access as well. Held luggage til checkin so that was nice.

Cons:

Something in the vents - a loud noise that would subside and restart again. Not the entire time, but in the early morning.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war gross, die Lage war super. Kostenlose Parkplätze gab es auf der Strasse und trotz zentraler Lage war es draussen nachts sehr ruhig. Alles in allem ok und für 2 Nächte passabel.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Zufallende Türen der Nachbarzimmer hört man nachts laut und deutlich. Unsere Zimmertür liess sich nur schwer öffnen und war an einigen Stellen etwas beschädigt.
