Hotel was great! Had a seating area near the bar to relax. They offer a door knock/wake up service until 2300 for northern lights! Hotel staff was very nice and helpful upon checking in and out. Weather was bad when leaving and assisted. Great breakfast!

We enjoyed our brief stay at this surprisingly large, beautifully appointed hotel. The front desk staff was exceedingly patient and helpful in answering our questions and providing advice. It was fun to poke around the various common areas on the different levels of the hotel. In addition to a fancy hotel restaurant, the hotel has separate, quiet bar area. Our room was exceedingly clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom with great shower. Excellent breakfast buffet (included in room rate) with lots of delicious options (even fruit!), all beautifully presented and regularly replenished. An expensive area to visit (Mývatn attracts a lot of tourists), but this hotel is definite recommend.

Terrific restaurant and the location is perfect as a base tow colors the Myvatn area.. Rooms are spartan.. on par with an upscale backpackers hostel. Bathroom is also sparse and small - though water pressure and temperature is excellent.

Hotel was beautiful and breakfast was included. Hotel is kind of in the middle of nowhere which we felt added to the charm but come prepared with food or eat at the restaurant.

I loved the hotel itself but it unfortunately doesnt have a any air conditioning so it was uncomfortably hot and trying to open the window was a little tedious to say the least but other than that it was a great stay and really enjoyed it, the staff was one of the best ive seen in my many travels as well and deserve a raise!

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. There was a weather warning issued for the day we were supposed to check in, and luckily we arrived before the storm really hit. We were very thankful that we were allowed to check in early. Although they usually don't offer lunch, they did that day for a fee since everyone was snowed in. We appreciated the free breakfast and enjoyed dinner there as well. The trout was especially delicious. Because of the storm, the satellite for their TVs was out, but they had great WiFi and also had books, board games, and a ping pong table. The best part of our stay was the northern lights we saw. They were so vivid and danced across the sky against the backdrop of the snowy mountains. Absolutely beautiful.

The staff was brilliant, above and beyond in every case. Kind, helpful, offering assistance with everything from how to navigate the online toll-paying system for the Akeuryri tunnel, to offering ‘wake up calls’ for northern lights, to upgrading our room when they realized we were there 4 nights. Breakfasts were huge and varied (fresh fruit to hot dishes), lounge areas were plentiful, great views in all directions. Mainly, the staff should be commended for their outstanding service - FYI, a big storm had come through the previous week knocking out Laxa’s TV and phones. Anyone who writes anything negative about that during this time period clearly hasn’t looked around Iceland - there aren’t any repair services for many, many miles - so? Get out and enjoy more of nature!
