    Fantastic Hotel for Mývatn Area.

    Excellent location with direct walking access to one of the most beautiful attractions on Lake Mývatn. Very complete breakfast with cereals, yogurt, milk, coffee, tea, nuts, juices, bread of different varieties, various fruits including berries... Good restaurant. As we arrived after 9pm, we were only able to dine on home-made pizzas. Spacious and comfortable room. Plenty of parking space

    Comfortable, clean and good food. They smoke they’re own trout which was delicious. Walk around the mini volcano cones was interesting and hot tubs were a great bonus.

    Ideally located to visit the area. The room was warm, comfortable and the view over the craters really lovely. The bathroom was spotless but the water pressure was a bit of a issue. Plenty of choice at breakfast, many cuts of fish available! The hot dishes instead were already cold at start of service.

    A minor thing: The sauna wasn’t quite hot enough but it was still a bonus. It’s an older property but they maximize all of it.

    Location is terrific with neat walking experience across the street amongst the craters. The young man at reception was wonderful as were all of our food servers. They do an excellent job of cleaning the entire hotel. The food was excellent at dinner and breakfast. 24/7 coffee/hot drinks was greatly appreciated.

    This was one of the best hotels we stayed in Iceland. It had the northern lights wake up call, which we sadly didn’t get because of no northern lights that night. But the hot tub and sauna was amazing

    There are small insignificant inconveniences; a sink too small to use, mattresses too soft, doors don't close without a key... Nothing really significant.

    A great hotel with great service and amenities. Surprisingly good breakfast, very generous service, hot tub outside, sauna and good location.

    Really nothing can be mentioned.

    This was the best hotel we stayed in Iceland. The free amenities (Sauna, Hot tub, pool billiard, bathrobe, flip flops, etc.) and the free breakfast were just great. The room was modern and spacious. The northern lights wake up call is a wonderful free service (we didn't have any luck though). The location is incredible across from a volcano walking trail. Seriously, we were so excited when we saw what the hotel offers for such little money (in March). Will definitely stay here again when I return. Thank you!
