We met her on the last day and she was so sweet. Beautiful accommodations like we stepped into another place, not your average hotel. Only small complaint was the sulfur smell when taking a shower and it didn’t vent well, so all steam from the shower settled on everything in the bathroom making everything wet, lol. We managed though. ##### Clair Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salvatore 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ottima posizione ed appartamento comodissimo ##### Salvatore Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is a beautiful, historic building that is in a great, central location.

Dies war und auch den stolzen Preis von über 200€ für eine Nacht wert. Was wir vorfanden hat in keiner Weise unseren Vorstellungen entsprochen. Das Zimmer befand sich in einem Anbau (ausgebaute Garage ?). Das Fenster war lediglich ein Oberlicht, der Raum war höhlenartig dunkel. Der Blick aus dem „Fenster“ fällt direkt auf die gegenüberliegende Wand. Es entstand eine unangenehme „Knastatmosphäre“. Zu den Gastgebern bestand keinerlei Kontakt, da die Namen der Gäste lediglich mit Zetteln an den Zimmern ausgehängt sind. Meines Erachtens ist es eine Unverschämtheit für ein solches Zimmer und einen nicht vorhandenen Service über 200€ zu berechnen. Ich rate von dieser Unterkunft ab! ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Eyja-Guldsmeden-Hotel.h31000378.Hotel-Information) > > [Grandi by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grandi-By-Center-Hotels.h45668818.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Domes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Domes.h36067854.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Reykjavík Grand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Reykjavik.h45483.Hotel-Information) > > [Alva Hotel Brautarholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-22-Hill-Hotel.h9438511.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Klettur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Klettur.h4445246.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Marrakech](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Marrakech-Hotels.s50-0-d6084756.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Island-Spa-Wellness-Hotel.h524487.Hotel-Information) > > [Miðgarður by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Migarur-By-Center-Hotels.h9853419.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Marina.h4828813.Hotel-Information) > > [Storm Hotel by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Storm-Hotel-By-Keahotels.h10207049.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Apartments Einholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Stay-Apartments-Einholt.h2041560.Hotel-Information) > > [ODDSSON Midtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Oddsson.h34036596.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Reykjavik.h9031743.Hotel-Information) > > [Sif Apartments by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Sif-Apartments.h36869619.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Lind](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Lind.h794079.Hotel-Information) > > [4 The Courtyard 4 Star Vineyard Gite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puisseguin-Hotels-AS-Seen-ON-Channel-4-A-NEW-Life-IN-THE-SUN.h35205556.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Belfast Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-Hotels-Travelodge-Belfast-Central.h538491.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Raudara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Raudara.h526527.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Reykjavik Nordica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hilton-Reykjavik-Nordica.h13477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cabin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Cabin.h1542421.Hotel-Information) > > [Downtown Reykjavík Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Downtown-Reykjavik-Apartments.h23412660.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Lights-By-Keahotels.h6119481.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Múli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Muli.h14923586.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Marmagao (GOI) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/goi/bom/goa-to-mumbai) ### Cars > [Car hire in Rovaniemi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Rovaniemi.d3059.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Canterbury Cathedral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Cathedral-Canterbury.d6091945.Attraction) > > [Sovereign Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sovereign-Harbour-Eastbourne.d6260962.Attraction)
