Un établissement de qualité où j’espère pouvoir revenir un jour.
Pros:

Très agréable et confortable, on s’y sent bien.
Petit déjeuner avec un large choix et de bons produits. Repas un peu cher, mais les plats sont très généreux et excellents, à faire au moins une fois dans le séjour.
Espace bien-être propre et relaxant.

Cons:

Un rangement supplémentaire dans la salle de bain.
Pour l’espace bien être, peut être des vestiaire pour se changer sur place, car tout dépend où est situé sa chambre il faut passer par le bar et l’accueil en peignoir pour rejoindre l’espace bien être.

Hotel agradable en glacier lagoon
Pros:

El emplazamiento del hotel
Reservamos con vista al océano pero las vistas al mar están muy lejos
El desayuno muy bueno. Cenamos dos noches OK
El personal de comedor muy atento

Cons:

El baño es mínimo y con la ducha integrada que moja todo
La habitación era extremadamente calurosa a pesar de las temperaturas frías
Tal vez si hubiese elegido con vistas al parking serían más ventiladas

Clean but overpriced hotel.
Pros:

Good clean hotel.

Cons:

It is overpriced because there is no other comparable hotel nearby. Food is also twice expensive compared to the restaurants in the area.

Modernes Hotel an sehr guter Lage
Pros:

Hohe und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Räume überall. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit super Aussicht!
Wir fanden die Lage zwischen Skaftafell und Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon perfekt für einen Aufenthalt von mehr als einer Nacht. So konnte man sich je nach Wetter für die eine oder andere Richtung entscheiden.

Cons:

Aussichtsmässig lohnt sich hier ein Zimmer mit Meerblick! Oder beim Standardzimmer als Kundenwunsch obere Etage angeben! Wir waren im Parterre und sahen nur auf den Parkplatz.

None
