Lovely staff and room. Really liked the touch of putting your name on a list on check-in to have a wake up call when the northern lights were active. Amazing views of the northern lights and very good value for money. Breakfast was lovely, great variety, something for everyone.

Location was convenient but dining option on menu limited. I was not happy with my tenderloin choice. While asked for medium temperature it seemed more rare to medium rare. A simple soup option would have suited me better. Weather was not ideal (heavy snow) so that impacted overall impression.

“Best Hotel in Lake Myvatn area!”

All the staffs are friendly and very helpful. They have Northern Light wake up call, and we got a door knock at 11pm and voila, a beautiful Northern Light! The hotel is also located in secluded area with minimum outdoor lighting, so perfect for Northern Light sighting and photography! We only need to step out to the side of parking area and have virtually almost 360 degree view of the sky. Dinner was great, ordered the Skyr dessert as recommended by the waiter and it blew our mind! (Sweet sour soft crunchy taste texture combination). Breakfast was excellent and always topped up quicky, even when there are big groups. Staffs are meticulous with cleanliness! Really could not expected more from the staffs 👍👍👍
