Todo perfecto, lo único fue que el agua caliente olía mucho a azufre, de las 10 noches que estuvimos en Islandia solo nos pasó en este y en otro hotel, puede ser un poco molesto porque no estamos acostumbrados. La cocina muy bien equipada, bastantes amenidades y todo muy tranquilo. La habitación limpia y amplia.

Limpio y silencioso.

Es un camping grande que tiene tambíen habitaciones estilo hotel desatendido sin recepción, entras con código. Tienes cocina, microndas, lavanderia, etc... La habitación estaba limpia y era cómoda. El wifi funcionaba regular. No tiene desayuno incluido pero puedes ir al pueblo a 1 minuto en coche y desayunar donde quieras.
