10/10 Exceptional

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.
Yunxi, 1-night trip

Modern, impressive building - looks like a James Bond villains lair. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Excellent breakfast with lots of different options. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was good quality. No milk was provided in the room for teas and coffee.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Das Hotel hat aufgrund seiner Lage und Architektur einen besonderen Flair. Das Zimmer und das Bad waren sehr sauber. Das Angebot in der Speisekarte beschränkte sich auf jeweils vier Menüs aus den Kategorien "Groß" und "Klein". Da es automatisch als Vorspeise Pro Person 2 dicke Scheiben leckeres Brot mit einer sehr leckeren Butter, dif mit Skyr vermischt war, gab, bin ich auch mit der Kategorie "Klein" gut satt geworden. Uns beiden hat es sehr gut geschmeckt. Das Personal war durchweg freundlich und kommunikativ. Einziger Nachteil: In dieser Region gab es zu dieser Zeit (29. Mai) unfassbar viele Gnitzen. Das ist also nicht ein Problem des Hotels sondern der ganzen Region. Unser Hotel war aber gut darauf eingestellt (s.u.). Es handelte sich wohlvorewigrend um männliche Gnitzen, denn wir wurden nicht gestochen.Die Schwärme beschränkten sich hauptsächlich auf die Gebiete rund um die Seen und Flüsse. Um das Hotel war zum Glück nicht so viel los und die Fenster waren sehr gut durch Netze geschüt, so dass man nachtsruhigden Gewissens die Fenster auflassen konnte. Der Service und die Erlebnisse, die man in der Umgebung haben konnte entschädigten einen vollends. Dettifoss ist ungefähr 1 Autostunde entfernt und ca 20 Minuten kann man brodelnde Schlammlöcher aufgrund vulkanischer Aktivität bewundern. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Localização fantástica junto ao Lago Myvatn e com excelentes vistas e muito conveniente para visitar a área. O hotel é muito confortável os quartos são grandes e todos com imensas janelas com uma vista muito bonita seja para o lago ou para as montanhas. Pequeno almoço delicioso
