Big clean rooms and good staff
Pros:

Huge clean rooms. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Small windows, that can’t be open overnight because of small insects that come through. There is no air circulation in the room so you inevitable open a window for a bit of air but bugs come in.

Komplett überteuertes Hotel für reiche Wanderer (aber sehr ruhig)
Pros:

Stylisches Zimmer, bequeme Betten, sehr ruhige Lage, kostenlose Parkplätze mit Ladestelle für das eAuto, nette kleine Bar, freundlicher Barkeeper.

Cons:

Zimmer waren sehr kahl, hätten etwas Kunst über dem Bett vertragen können. Frühstück nur mäßig, keine warmen Speisen wir Rührei oder Spiegelei, auch nicht auf Nachfrage. Personal beim Frühstück sehr unfreundlich, man fühlte sich mehr überwacht als bedient. Lage außerhalb des Örtchen. Extrem teuer, vermutlich das teuerste Hotel, das ich je bezahlt habe, und in keinster Weise diesen Betrag wert, aber auf Grund der isolierten Lage und geringen Auswahl kann man in Island diese Preise verlangen.
