Pros:

das Hotel ist sehr schön, das Zimmer grosszügig jedoch das Bettsofa EXTREM unbequem - selbst für Kinder!

Cons:

ACHTUNG!!! DAS HOTEL HAT KEINE PARKPLÄTZE DIE PARKPLÄTZE DIREKT BEIM HOTEL SIND KOSTENPFLICHTIG UND NUR FÜR 3H NUTZBAR - ANSONSTEN MUSS MAN SELBST EINEN ÖFFENTLICHEN PARKPLATZ IN REYKJAVIK SUCHEN DIE ANGABEN AUF BOOKING SIND FEHLERHAFT! (wir empfinden das als unfairer Vorteil gegenüber anderen Unterkünften, denn wir brauchten einen Parkplatz und haben den Filter entsprechend gesetzt...)
