OK for a night, sad breakfast
Pros:

OK hotel in a slightly old building. Room was fine, small bathroom and overpowering sulphur smell on hot water (that’s Reykjavík though)

Cons:

Frankly miserable breakfast. Very limited selection, the cheapest possible pre cut meats and cheese you can find. Nothing sweet whatsoever, no coffee machine and no warm milk (even asking for it…)
At 300eur per night it should be better

Pros:

Très bien placé pour aller découvrir Reykjavik à pied. Quel doux parfum à notre arrivée, un cake maison sortait juste du four, un délice.
Super petit déjeuner avec du pain fait maison.

Cons:

Salle de bain datée...mais fonctionnelle.

passable
Pros:

L'hotel est situé dans un quartier calme avec parking privé à disposition, ce qui est très pratique. Facile d'accès. Check in et check out ultra simple et rapide.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner est vraiment médiocre, peu varié avec des produits industriels. L'hotel n'est pas très propre et mériterai une bonne rénovation. Les serviettes de bains étaient mouillées à notre arrivée.

Pros:

Kényelmes ágy, világos szoba

Cons:

A zuhanykabin fugázása hiányos volt. A személyzet hozzáállása nem volt teljesen pozitív. Korai indulás miatt szerettünk volna hideg reggeli csomagot, de erre semmilyen hajlandóság nem volt, függetlenül attól, hogy reggelivel foglaltuk a szobát.

Pros:

Kedves, segítőkész a személyzet. A szobák és a reggeli megfelelő. A belváros sétatávolságra elérhető. Ár-érték aránya tökéletes, izlandi viszonylatban.

Cons:

Nem találtam kifogást a kategóriájában.

Une nuit avant le départ.
Pros:

Cela convenait bien pour passer une nuit avant notre départ. La literie est confortable. Il y a une salle de jeux.

Cons:

Assez éloigné du centre mais possibilité tout de même de s’y rendre à pied. Assez vétuste.
