Pros:

Open 24/7 for check in

Cons:

No sheets in the pod. Probably the most expensive hostel bed I've paid for.

Very clean stay for one night :)
Pros:

It is a very short ride from the airport and good for one night. Very clean. The pods were comfy but not super spacious. The lockers are big and checkin was easy. There is an airport shuttle for 1500 ISK that runs between 4am and midnight.

Cons:

We were missing some checkout instructions. Otherwise everything was good :)

Flughafen mit Shuttleservice – alles, was man am letzten Urlaubstag so braucht
Pros:

Es gab noch nie so viele WC Nasszellen im Vergleich zu den Gästen. Die waren auch extrem sauber sowas sieht man nicht oft. Auch der Aufenthaltsraum war sehr groß und sehr nett. Großes Lob auch für die tolle Kaffeemaschine.

Cons:

Leider sind die Matratzen sehr schlecht. Hier hatten wir in unseren Camper die besseren Unterlagen. Wenn die Matratzen jetzt auch noch gepasst hätten, würde es zehn von zehn Punkten geben.

Pros:

Staðurinn var alveg sérstaklega hreinn, salerni og sturtur óaðfinnanlegar. Góð þjónusta.

Cons:

Engin hljóðeinangrun svo ef einhver hraut í næstu rýmum þá heyrðist það mjög vel. Sonur minn svaf ekkert fyrir hrotum úr þremur áttum. Og dýnur mjög þunnar.

Ce système de "capsule" ne nous convient pas. Les clients s'entraident , aucun employé.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié les boissons chaudes à la machine le matin.

Cons:

Pas de personnel à l'accueil. Nous avons eu des difficultés à notre arrivée dans l'hôtel pour réserver deux sièges dans la navette à 5 h le lendemain matin car l'application ne fonctionnait pas ,puis en téléphonant au numéro indiqué à l'entrée nous avons eu un robot comme interlocuteur et nous n'avons rien compris.
Après plusieurs tentatives nous avons enfin eu une personne qui nous a pris en compte notre réservation et le conducteur était bien à l'heure pour le départ de la navette.

Komfortowe rozwiązanie na jedną noc
Pros:

Blisko lotniska (ok 6 min samochodem), idealnie na jedną noc, kapsuły i wspólne łazienki bardzo czyste, dostęp do dużej kuchni z ekspresem (bezpłatna kawa, gorąca woda i czekolada), czajnikiem, zmywarką i lodówką, łazienki i toalety w odpowiedniej ilości, w kapsułach po dwie poduszki i kołdry oraz mały płaski tv, dostępne szafki na bagaże (zmieszczą się ok 2 duże plecaki, 1 walizka kabinowa i kurtki z butami)

Cons:

Kapsuły są bardzo akustyczne, nie polecam dolnej kapsuły - słychać jak sąsiedzi na górze się przekręcają lub wychodzą/wchodzą do kapsuły

Pros:

the kitchen facilities were good, although no hot burner was available. There was a microwave, air fryer, toaster. complimentary coffe machine and fridge.
The w/c was very clean and the lockers were a good size. The pods are very close to the airport and it was very convinient

Cons:

the ventilation in the pod was very loud and although the guests were very respectful and quiet, there is almost no noise insulation
