Friendly staff, great breakfast and location.
Pros:

The location near Höfn was ideal. The facility had a large easy to navigate parking lot for larger vehicles and buses. The registration workers were knowledgeable and very helpful/friendly. The breakfast included a large typical Euro spread with breads, cereals, cold cuts of meat and cheese, pastries, boiled eggs and more. Juice, milk and coffee were included. Getting the breakfast is a good value. The rooms were very utilitarian but functional.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr klein und das Bad hatte nur eine Schiebetür, die nicht ganz schließt. Daher sollte man sich nicht an den Badezimmergeräuschen seines Partners stören:-) Frühstück war gut, das Personal (wie überall auf Island) super nett und freundlich.
