Enjoyable stay, excellent location.
Pros:

The room and hotel was lovely and clean. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The room was on the smaller side, which was okay. The bathroom was tiny, the sink is in the shower with minimal room to move. It is more of a wet room, and when using the shower, the entire floor is soaking and you are then unable to use the bathroom.

Tökéletes helyen, ár-érték arányban megfelelő, kiváló hotel.
Pros:

Tökéletes központi elhelyezkedés, a Hallgrimskirkja templom terén, aki úgy kap szobát, láthatja a templomot és a teret az ablakból. Személyzet kedves, segítőkész. Szoba olyan amilyennek leírva volt, megfelelő két személy számára, ágy kényelmes, fűtés kiváló. Fürdőszoba is tiszta, szappan, törölköző elérhető, jó forró vizet lehet engedni, jól esik nap végén egy meleg fürdő. Reggeli elegendő, kontinentális, lehet válogatni többféle étel közül.

Cons:

Sípoló hang volt a szobában időközönként néhány másodpercre, talán a tűzjelző berendezésből jött, ez zavaró volt picit.

Pros:

La posizione è buona, il prezzo adeguato, lo staff gentile e la colazione soddisfacente. Molto apprezzato il servizio all you can drink di tè e caffè.

Cons:

La doccia, con le porte apribili tende a far allagare il bagno e non essendo stabile si muove rendendo scomodo usare il lavandino. Gli asciugamani doccia sono decisamente piccoli.

Scenic comfortable and convenient
Pros:

The location opposite the Hallgrimskirkja was superb…and the breakfast in sight of the church in the morning … very easy to walk to sights and to bus stop and local airport…

Cons:

The only thing was a short wait to check-in at 3pm, though no great inconvenience…

Pros:

Die Lage direkt an der Regenbogenstraße und das Haus direkt gegenüber der Kirche war top. Zimmer waren sauber. Wir haben ein Upgrade bekommen weil nicht so viel los war.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war gut, hätte aber noch Luft nach oben (mir hat ein wenig Gemüse gefehlt und gutes Brot)

Cozy hotel centrally located
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Feels very good to come to a hotel where the staff seems to enjoy working. You couldn t ask for a better location. The room was small but cozy. Amazing feeling to shower with termal water and drink spring water from the tap. Breakfast was really good and plentiful. All in all a great experience.

Cons:

There was nothing to complain.

Tout en nuances
Pros:

L'hôtel est extrêmement bien placé. Et très calme. Le buffet petit-déjeuner.

Cons:

Si les prix doivent probablement être conformes aux prix islandais, ils sont élevés par rapport aux prix français
La douche était conçue bizarrement et minuscule
