Pros:

Gli arredi

Cons:

La camera, se così si può chiamare, era minuscola e poco pulita, il bagno mai rinnovato, con il lavello delle bambole e la doccia fatiscente. Ma soprattutto il letto, 120 cm per 2 persone, con un materasso floscio e scomodissimo.
Tanta scena alla reception e camere da bettola

Pros:

We specially chose this hotel because my partner is really into Vikings and Norse mythology, and it definitely lived up to expectations of the theme. The decor in the lobby and around the building was fabulous. The staff were very friendly, they made reservations for us at the restaurant for dinner, and even made sure we got takeout sandwhiches for breakfast as we had to leave before the free breakfast had started. There’s also an elevator which was very helpful with luggage.

Cons:

Our room was incredibly small and we had a hard time moving around and packing our luggage, we had to do it one at a time as there wasn’t enough room for us to move around at the same time.

Pros:

Jó az elhelyezkedése, az öbölre nyíló kilátással, az ágyban ülve, az ablakból nézhettük a sarki fényt. A személyzet nagyon kedves volt, a külön kéréseket is igyekeztek teljesíteni. A berendezés, díszítés nagyon jó hangulatot varázsolt.

Cons:

Kevés konnektor volt az ágyak közelében, de ennek ellenére megoldható volt a különféle kütyük töltése.

Pros:

Maga a Hotel jó helyen található, a díszek berendezések nagyon jó hangulatot adnak. A személyzet kedves volt és tisztaság fogadott minket.

Cons:

Az első szoba valamilyen sarokban volt, elég sötétnek érződött, kevés konnektorral az ágyak mellett. A második szoba már sokkal világosabb volt, több ablakkal és sokkal jobban éreztük magunkat.

Great Location!
Pros:

I liked the location, the room and the view

Cons:

The bathroom was a bit small and the smell of shower was sulfuric, which they explained is because of thermal waters

Ottimo appoggio tra l’aeroporto e Reykjavik
Pros:

Noi avevamo una camera situata nell’ala nuova, la camera era pulitissima, profumata, con un bagno moderno. Era abbastanza spaziosa.
Colazione varia.
Parcheggi disponibili.
Comodo perché a mezz’ora dall’aeroporto e a mezz’ora dal centro di Reykjavík, inoltre a 5 minuti a piedi dall’hotel ci sono alcuni ristoranti

Cons:

Niente
