Clean college dorm with central location
It is a very clean college dorm. There are several toilets and shower rooms and we did not have to wait to use them. The surrounding was quiet and the location is very good.

Ligging van het hotel naast de Botanische tuin met een heerlijk lunchadresje. Ruime parkeergelegenheid.
Wel veel straatafval rondom het hotel en dat is echt niet nodig. Er staan prullebakken

L'accueil très sympathique, grande chambre confortable. Petite bémol : une odeur d'égout dans la salle de bain.

A very modern and clean hotel. All sites of interest to us were in easy walking distance of the hotel. Many open spaces and brilliant views of the fjord from the bedroom window. A short 15 minute walk to the harbour and then caught a boat to see whales (we saw three species). Also an easy walk to the church, high street and old town.

Comfortable accommodations.
The rooms are converted student accommodations. Spacious with personal bathrooms. Convenient location from main downtown area and close to Botanical Gardens.
Adequate electrical outlets for electronic devices. No TV. Hair dryer available from reception. Friendly accommodating staff. Lots of parking.

Struttura sfruttata dagli studenti nel periodo scolastico, risulta essere funzionale nonostante le camere non hanno né bagno né doccia. I bagni e le doccia sono ottime e di nuova fattura. Punto negativo la colazione: troppe persone e cibo mancante in continuazione. Cibo dozzinale e con poca scelta.

The staff was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. I wish that we would have known in advance that room was on second floor without elevator, as my travel companion had difficulty with the stairs.

Saimme huoneluokan korotuksen, mikä oli iloinen yllätys. Huone oli alkeellinen, mutta siisti ja tilava. Kaikki meni hyvin ja hinta-laatusuhde oli hyvä. Voimme suositella lämpimästi.

Personnel sympathique mais non professionnel, notre chambre n’était pas prête à notre arrivée à 19h. Petit déjeuner moyen dans une salle anciennement cantine d’étudiants. Notre chambre était correcte avec sa propre salle de bains mais cher pour la prestation globale. Chambre avec vue sur la réception sans double rideau

Comfortable beds. Good location near the city center and next to the swimming pool.
Too few showers in the common areas. The last floor, for example, has only 1 shower and 2 WCs for 10 rooms (some of which are triple rooms) which is more than insufficient at busy times (morning, evening).

Felt like we were in a college dorm room. Noisy environment. Staff was not great, more like we were a nuisance.

Personal am Empfang sehr unfreundlich.
Kreditkarte muss vorgelegt werden falls etwas sein sollte ??? Reisen 10 Tage durch Island und es ist bisher nie gefordert worden.
Highlight war noch, dass trotz Buchung über Expedia mit allen Gebühren vor Ort eine Zahlung fällig geworden ist (Tourist Tax)
Absolut nicht zu empfehlen die Unterkunft
