Großes Hotel mit Aussicht
Pros:

Prachtvolle Aussicht auf den Myvatn und die Berglandschaft dahinter - bei entsprechender wetterbedingter Sicht.

Cons:

Unfassbarer Mückenansturm als umgebungsbedingter Standard.
Großer Hotelkasten an der Ringstraße.

Pros:

米糊非常的雅致，但是我們沒有在餐廳裡面吃飯，因為感覺很貴，但是晚上的時候天空非常的暗可以直接看到星空跟極光，然後有一個是湖景房湖景房可以早上可以看到湖面跟小鎮還蠻漂亮的另外一個是草地方沒什麼麼東西看

Hotel confortable et couteux. Manque une touche de charme à mon goût
Pros:

Chambre confortable et moderne. Bon repas.Très bonne literie
Quelques petites douceurs sous cloche dans la chambre pour mon anniversaire

Cons:

Petit déjeuner archi complet pour qui mange salé,mais bien pauvre pour ce qui mange sucré.on aurait aimé un peu de patisserie,ou au moins plus de choix en viennoiseries.
Pour la chambre d'hotel la plus chère que j'ai payée de ma vie,(c'était mon anniversaire,et c'est l'Islande),j'étais bien déçue d'avoir vue imprenable...sur le parking. J'avais demandé pour la soirée une table avec jolie vue sur le lac pour cette soirée spéciale. On m'a dit pas possible,premier venu,premier servi. Donc bel hotel mais rien de luxueux ni de très spacieux ni de mémorable ,et un peu de déception.

Pros:

Comfortable beds, best nights sleep I had in Iceland. Lovely sauna with a stunning view of the Lake. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Happt hour 4pm-6pm. To top it all we did see the Northern Lights, and as the Hotel is away from the towns and cities there were dark skys to make the lights look even more impressive.

Cons:

Nothing
