Matig hotel
Pros:

Prima lokatie met een leuk restaurant

Cons:

Heel erg kleine kamer met smal bede en mega warm ! Daarnaast was de badkamer niet heel schoon en hing er een douche gordijn wat ik niet fijn vind als dat tegen je aan plakt ! Dame bij de receptie en in het restaurant vriendelijk maar de dames bij het ontbijt zeer zeker niet ! Kon geen groet of lachje af ! Jammer ! Minste overnachting van onze reis door IJsland

Huoneet pieniä, oli helpotus kun pääsi aamulla tutkimaan Islantia.
Pros:

Sijainti

Cons:

Liian pieni huone kahdelle, kostea suihkun jälkeen. Aamupala oli riittävä mutta tosi ahdas ja pieni tila.

Pros:

Sehr uriges Hotel. Nettes, fleißiges Personal, vor allem die Dame beim Frühstück war immer unterwegs und hat das Buffet perfekt betreut.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war so klein, dass wir den Koffer nur am Bett öffnen konnten. Auch das Bad war winzig.

High expectations, not met sadly.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. Lots of choices. The hotel decor was awesome! So fun and authentic. Restaurant was very fun.

Cons:

The rooms pictured much more roomy. But they were clean and comfortable. There was no air ventilation. They just give you a little fan. We tried opening the window, but every time we did, someone would literally put their head in the window. They also had construction happening. Which we understand they cant help that. But it was banging and beeping super early. It was right outside the window, so there was no resting. And there was a school group there as well. Again..I understand the hotel can't control them. But it was 1 30 am..and there was still banging and bumping from the rooms next to us.
And the tv only had 2 channels. I don't usually complain. But for almost 500$/night..it was our splurge stay. It was just more like 200$/night stay. So sorry.
