Viel tegen. Zag er mooier uit op de site dan dat het in het echt was.
Pros:

Hele mooie nette badkamer, leek net verbouwd

Cons:

Het hele hotel rook naar gegrilde vis, ook in de kamer van het restaurant beneden. De tweepersoonskamer was echt heel klein, je kon niet eens lekker je koffer kwijt of iets ophangen.

Pros:

Camera ampia, ben arredata, pulita. Bagno grande, doccia molto bella. In 15 minuti a piedi si raggiunge il centro. Ottimo rapporto qualità- prezzo. Tutto era oltre le mie aspettative.

Cons:

Parcheggio non disponibile davanti l’hotel, ma l’abbiamo trovato nella via parallela. Sarebbe utile spiegare quali sono le vie dove si può parcheggiare gratuitamente

Pros:

This was a good base for our 5 day iceland trip. Room and toilet were clean, a supermarket and dominoes was around the corner which came in clutch!
Only thing to keep in mind is the free parking across the street was a hit and a miss.
Other than that would recommend if Reykjavik is your base.

Pros:

for low budget works fine. but other low budget hotels provide more facilities.

Cons:

the most annoying part was there was no parking. they dont have any private parking spot. they suggest to park in the streets which is next to impossible on a busy day. we had to find a parking 2 roads ahead of the hotel and drag our heavy luggages across the streets.

Nettes Hotel, das man für eine Nacht in Reykjavik gut buchen kann.
Pros:

Neu renoviert, der wenige Platz wurde gut ausgenutzt, gut ausgestattet, niedlich eingerichtet

Cons:

Etwas am Rand der Stadt, der Blick in den Hinterhof war nicht schön
