Super

9.0

Jako čist. Super je što je uključen doručak. Parking dostupan odmah ispred. Soba prostrana. Jako udoban krevet.

Jedini minus je što u kuhinji nema štednjaka ili indukcijske ploce pa si ne mozete skuhati.

Für eine Nacht in Ordnung

5.0

Das Bad war modern mit Fußbodenheizung. Das Zimmer war sauber und funktional.

Das Frühstück war lachhaft. Toast, Butter, Käse, Wurst, Kelloggs, Milch, Joghurt, Tee und Kaffeekapseln. Man musste aber hoffen, dass die anderen Gäste etwas übriglassen. Dafür, dass die Besitzerin scheinbar ein Café direkt unter dem Gästehaus betreibt (man hätte ja auch sagen können, dass man dort sein Frühstück kriegt), war es sehr einfach gehalten - es gab nur ein paar Dinge im Kühlschrank. Es gab nur eine kleine Küche mit einem Tisch für 4. Die Vorhänge im Zimmer waren furchtbar. Sie haben nichts abgedunkelt. Das mag vielleicht im Winter, wo es eh dunkel ist, gehen, aber im Sommer ist das eher etwas für Menschen, die im hellen schlafen können. Matratzen viel zu weich. Auch die Fenster haben schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Zur Besitzerin kann ich nichts sagen. Check-in und Check-out läuft alles über Schlüsselboxen.

In Ordnung- Preis-Leistung passt nicht, ist aber nahezu bei allen Unterkünften in Island so.

7.0

Schöne Lage in den Fjorden, schöne Zimmer, Preis für Island verhältnismäßig günstig

Frühstück spartanisch, Küche reicht nur für Brotzeit machen

Cute little place. Best value we could her for our family of 5.

W had 2 rooms not connected. They weren't far, just down the hall. We were excited for breakfast thinking it was something special, and it was a standard continental breakfast.

Keep on driving!

4.0

Decor was nice (but that's superficial)

Never saw a single staff member. 1 Shower/toilet for 5-6 rooms Awful breakfast - By far not enough breakfast food/milk for the 9 people (5-6 rooms) staying there - Very low quality breakfast - Not close to enough space if more than 3/4 people have breakfast at the same time Totally shocking considering below is their cafe with nice looking things....why the breakfast is not in the cafe, considering it opens at 11am, is beyond me.
