Totally overpriced and worn out.
Pros:

Nothing special.

Cons:

Noisy, I hear everything from the corridor, from above. The door moves when somebody else close their door. Soundproofing zero. Old shitty TV and coffee machine. I couldnt make fully dark. That was the most expensive and the worst hotel in Iceland.
