Comfortable, pleasant. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had to leave before breakfast and even though kitchen staff were not in that early they provided food we could take along.

Cons:

Sinks in the room were just OK.

Pésima relación calidad/precio. Habitaciones sin renovar a precio de renovadas
Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

Reservamos dos habitaciones y nos dieron una reformada y otra no. El baño de la segunda, dejaba muuucho que desear. ¿Acaso pagamos menos por una de ellas? Además, ambas junto a la recepción y las duchas de las habitaciones con baño compartido, con el ruido que ello implica. Por supuesto, la respuesta es que están llenos y son las únicas disponibles. Con diferencia, el peor alojamiento calidad/precio de los 12 en los que nos alojamos en nuestro viaje alrededor de Islandia

Comfortable and clean hotel which was fine for a night. The breakfast was a good continental spread

Všetko ok, personál top
Pros:

Síce sme tu strávili len jednu noc na našom tripe, mali sme všetko čo sme potrebovali. Bonus bola chutná večera a raňajky promo v hoteli. Chválim najmä personál, ktorý bol top a potešilo počuť aj bratský jazyk :-)

Good hotel for a quick stop
Pros:

Good hotel, spacious room, good breakfast, nice staff

Cons:

I didn’t liked that the thermostat was blocked and you couldn’t set it more than 4, which for me I found it too cold and not so comfortable.
