Hôtel moderne et confortable
Pros:

L’hôtel est très récent. La décoration est superbe et notre chambre au dernier étage avec vue sur le fjord était magnifique et très confortable. Le petit-déjeuner servi dans le bâtiment à côté est complet et de bonne qualité. Le personnel est lui jeune et dynamique.

Cons:

Les stores des nombreuses fenêtre de toit de notre chambre ne fermaient pas (problème technique électrique) et nous avons dû dormir avec des masques à cause du soleil de minuit en cette saison. L’hôtel n’avait pas d’autre chambre à nous offrir et même pas un cocktail offert au bar. Dommage que ce genre de chose ne soit pas vérifiée et que le staff n’ait pas compensé par un geste commercial.

Pros:

Super nice breakfast per Iceland standards. Location is very convenient for dining

Cons:

There is a construction site right accross the street so little peace in the rooms. There were electrical outlets with bare wires not covered in the room. Soundproofing in the room is not good, you can hear other people snoring in the adjacent room. There is a TV in the room with almost no channels and with no proper order.

Je ne recommande pas cet hotel.
Pros:

L'emplacement de l hotel et l excellent petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Bel hôtel dans lequel vous ne dormez pas.
On vous envoie deux bâtiments plus loin, sans accueil, dans une toute petite chambre pas propre et bruyante.

Great location, and excellent service, but don't stay on the top floor
Pros:

The first room we stayed in was on the top floor and very small. We ended up having to move to a lower floor because the room was way too hot and couldn't cool it off. It was pretty much unbearable so they moved us to the third floor and we were able to sleep.

Cons:

Better ventilation in the upper floor so the rooms will cool down.
