No pudimos descansar ni estar tranquilas de noche, pues el ruido A TODAS HORAS DEL DÍA (especialmente de noche y de madrugada) es insoportable.

"Only issue with my stay was that the shower wouldn’t drain and flooded over the very low stepover. The rest of the room was clean and it was nice that breakfast was provided."

Hótel Laxá
"Best Hotel stay so far in Iceland and that is saying a lot because they have all been awesome. But this hotel, from check in asked if we wanted a northern lights wakeup call, told us about things to do in the area that we had not heard about, went over the weather conditions for the night and next day. Just awesome. The hotel restaurant was a 10 out of 10. Best fish I have ever had, the bread appitzer with the butter and skyr mix great! Wait staff awesome and helpful, no complaints! And that wakeup call for the northern lights actually happened and we got to see them after almost giving up on this trip. Also breakfast, lots of options, taste great and no complaints there either."
