Residencia de estudiantes, no es hotel
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

El olor del agua, la cortina de la ducha se pega y no deja ducharte. Para ser una residencia de estudiantes no está mal, pero lo venden con tarifa de hotel.

Cons:

This is dormitory that is converted into a hotel for the summer. Our two level room did have the beds promised and a small bathroom - but no blackout shades, the windows had no screens (most of Iceland does not have screens) and the room was full of biting midges (new to Iceland in the past decade) - Our 7 yr old was bite over 75 times! Outlets were hard to find, no mini fridge, the entry from the parking to our room was a long convoluted walk resulting in bags being carried up and down 1/2 flights of stairs. Of our 10 different stays in Iceland - this was our worst and I would suggest avoiding if possible.

Yhden yön majoituspaikka ohi ajaville
Pros:

Rauhallinen alue hieman kaupungin ulkolaidalla. Omalla autolla kulkevalle ei ongelmaa. Huone hyvän kokoinen ja sänky ok.

Cons:

Huoneessa ei ollut televisiota, hotellista ja huoneesta tuli mieleen "urheiluopiston" majoitustilat. Aamiainen ei sisältynyt huoneen hintaan, joka oli reissumme kahdeksasta majoituksesta silti kallein. Aamiaisen olisi saanut ostaa erikseen, mutta hinta tuntui aika kovalta. Kuuma vesi tuoksui kananmunalta, niinkuin oli kyllä etukäteen Islannista informoitu, mutta muissa hotelleissa kuuma vesi oli todennäköisesti lämmitetty kylmästä vedestä, eikä tuoksua niissä havainnut.

Dangerous, uncomfortable room in a nice position
Pros:

The room has a lake view window and the staff was really kind

Cons:

the room was too big for a family of three, with a dangerous staircase not suitable for small children which risk a high fall. the room was dirty, with bad furniture and the bathroom was really really small. The hotel itself smelled quite bad and the whole of it was really outdated

Pros:

Efficient check-in with friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a place to crash after adventuring all day.

Cons:

It was just a little too far to our room but, to be fair, that's always an issue the bigger the hotel is.
