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 incredible. Very helpful during stormy weather and difficult road conditions. The restaurant was great.
5.0
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!

Very nice hotel. One of the best we stayed in Iceland.

only property that offered wake up calls for northern lights. just ask at the front desk and they will knock on your door when they spot the lights. we stayed 2 nights and both nights they woke us up. hotel amazing, happy hour is perfect and staff are great. Very nice breakfast
5.0
New, clean. Firm mattress. Black out curtains. No screens on windows, which seems to be common in Iceland, which is a shame because there are so many flies in the country. NOTE !! - when you leave your room, you must lock your door manually by turning the key. It did not lock for us automatically. Very unusual for a hotel room. Extremely quiet area. The hotel is basically in the middle of nowhere which explains the breakfast being included. The breakfast was a typical European breakfast buffet. There layout of the serving area could be tweaked. The plates were not at the beginning of the counter which was weird. They were the second item, after the heated foods. Coffee machine is typical of what I saw in Iceland -- automatic style which grinds coffee fresh for each serving, and has many drink options. Only drawback with these machines is the prep time which tends to create lines wherever they are used. It would be nice to have either instant coffee available or a pot of coffee for those who dont want to wait for the machine. Also, limited salt and pepper shakers. Nowhere near enough for each table -- I think they were not supposed to be at the tables, but people took them to the tables? They should either have shakers at each table, or packets at the serving area. A lot of this stuff can be easily tweaked, chalked up to growing pains. Roofs were green for those into that. Locations is convenient to Myvatn Nature Baths. ~20 min. Beautiful area.

late check-in was not a problem; breakfast was excellent; hotel was fully-booked, but didn’t feel crowded or overly loud
all rooms are 1-2 only, so our family of four needed two rooms (which weren’t together, but not an issue for us)
