We have found pretty much all accommodation in Iceland to be massively overheated. We turned the two thermostats down to zero in our room at Hotel Laxa but there was a radiator under the window that couldn't be turned off. When the staff came to put the mattress toppers on our bed we asked if we could turn the heating down or off, but unfortunately we couldn't. Instead, we ended up sleeping with the heating blazing and the windows cracked open (as it was sub-zero outside). Kind of crazy really. It worked OK, but would have been better to have more control over the heating in the room. Not sure what we'd have done if the wind was strong and the windows couldn't be opened.

The staff at Hotel Laxa were all fabulous and keen to ensure our stay was the best possible experience for us. We found the bed a bit firm so asked if they had mattress toppers...which they do, and installed them that afternoon. We slept much better from then! We stayed there three nights and had dinner in their restaurant every night. The food was delicious and creative. Although it wasn't 'spacious' our room had place for both suitcases to be lifted off the floor and opened without getting in the way of moving around the room. Although it didn't have a fridge, the staff were happy to store our milk in the fridge behind the bar so we could access it whenever we wanted tea or coffee using our room facilities. The views from the hotel are fabulous, and it's located away from everything else so it's quiet and isolated.

The only suggestion we have is to change the soap dispensers. The are appallingly ugly and give off public toilet vibes which don’t match how nice the room is!

The dinner at the restaurant was delicious and the service was outstanding. The chef made me a fantastic meal despite my rather option limiting food allergies (thank you). :) We also loved the northern lights wake-up service - a fabulous idea. On our departure, the helpful reception clerk told us about the toll road and how to pay to avoid being charged extra by the car hire company (thanks again). The room view was beautiful and we had a lovely evening of watching the snow fall. And, finally, the pot of tea that they serve is excellent (not the coloured flavourless water served elsewhere!)

Unfortunately the room was not very clean which is a shame for such a pricey hotel! Insane amount of dust and lost socks/random items under the bed and the coffee table, sad! A lack of an amenity kit in the bathroom was actually shocking for such a good looking bathroom.

Incredibly friendly staff, especially at the reception! The restaurant was great and so was the bar. Parking was free and convenient. Room was okay!

Although the room was clean and comfy it was dated and cheap materials were used. The room reminded us of a student room. The bathroom was very funny. Made us laugh when we saw it. See photo. And an espresso machine would be better than the nescafe....

Good hotel with nice restaurant and very good breakfast. Very friendly personnel. Quiet room with beautiful view over the snowy landscape. Ample parking. They offered deca coffee in the room and with breakfast..it was nescafe..ok better than none. TV in room with a few different channels also 4 UK channels.

Breakfast room felt overcrowded, could do with being larger with more tables for 2s and 4s rather than the long shared tables.

Great location for exploring myvatn area. Clean room with comfortable bed. Friendly helpful staff.Good choice at breakfast.

Lovely hotel, very striking and modern. We enjoyed our stay. The staff were wonderful, very helpful and knowledgeable. There was a weather warning and we were concerned about driving, the young man at the front desk looked up road conditions and gave us great advice.

Very nice hotel and ideal location to explore the Myvatn region. Highly recommend having dinner there - it is delicious! The stuff was very friendly and helpful! They also offer glutenfree and vegan options - for breakfast as well as for dinner.

Location is really "middle of nowhere". No way to walk around and see smth, the only option is to drive car to any place.

Hotel is super - comfortable. modern, with large parking incl for e-cars. Excellent (and of course expensive) restaurant for dinner and very good breakfast. Rooms are very comfortable

Staff could have been a little bit more helpful! But really good place to stay!

Nice view! Great and clean room! Excellent facilities!

The breakfast is standard, but it wasn't as good as other hotels. Also, stay away from the oat milk!. If you're after vegan/vegetarian milk, you might want to stay with the juice. When I opened the milk lid, the inside of the lid was black and mouldy. I told one of the staff, and they only wiped it off and left the same box!! (who knows how long have been sitting there for)

Sparkling clean beadroom, great facilities, and good location. Happy hour if you can make it on time.
