Pros:

You cannot beat the location to the ferry & downtown area. Our 1 bedroom apartment had a terrace.

Cons:

The 1 bedroom was cramped for 3 adults. The check in/out was at a hotel down the block. There was no signage for parking. We had difficulty getting hot water in the shower.

Apartment im Keller mit Aussicht auf Müllberge
Pros:

Aufgrund der Lage des Apartments im Gebäude fällt mir leider nichts positives ein.

Cons:

Wir haben ein Apartment im Keller bekommen. Die Räume waren sehr dunkel. Die Ausstattung war okay. Kein Wasserkocher vorhanden und auch keine Grundausstattung wie Öl oder Salz und Pfeffer.
Die Kabel und Rohre sind außen verlegt. Dies verleiht dem Apartment kein Wohlfühlempfinden. Auch die dunkle Farbe an den Wänden trägt dazu nicht bei.
Die Aussicht aus den kleinen Fenstern war eine Katastrophe. Wir haben auf das Nebengebäude geschaut plus einen Riesenhaufen MÜLL (siehe Foto). Wir waren sehr enttäuscht. Wir haben sehr viel Geld für die 2 Nächte bezahlt. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist nicht gegeben. Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Central, but quiet location, easy parking
Pros:

Nice new-ish hotel, parking in front of the entrance, functional kitchen with toaster and tea kettle. Blackout curtains, heaters, all the works. Our room, for 4 people, had 1 bedroom and a pull-out sofa in the kitchen.

Cons:

Most guests I've met missed the parking the first time: you drive on the one-way street past the restaurant, only too late to realize that the restaurant was the hotel where you need to pick up the keys. A clear sign "THE NEW POST OFFICE RECEPTION" would help :-). Breakfast at €30 per person is hard to explain – you either cook yourself, or go out, in which case the bill for the group of 4 is still way below €120.

Gott herbergi í miðbænum.
Pros:

Herbergið var mjög fínt og ekkert út á það að setja. Rúmið þægilegt og góð staðsetning. Starfsfólkið sem checkaði okkur inn og út voru hjálpleg.

Cons:

Amma konunnar dó þannig að við gátum bara gist aðra nóttina, þetta var non refundable en hefði alveg viljað fá svar frá booking eða allavega samúðarkveðjur. Aðrir sem voru með í ferðinni og gistu annarsstaðar fengu aðra nóttina endurgreidda. Það er booking að kenna samt.

Spacey, modern room - but dark and noisy.
Pros:

Good location in the city. Modern and clean room. Comfy beds.

Cons:

Room 101 felt a little like a bunker as the view and therefore the light was blocked by a staircase and another building. Kitchen lacked equipment, needed more pans. Noisy from street (3am drunken people outside) and the outside door slammed everytime one of guest came in/left.
