The staff was very friendly and very organized. I appreciated their efficiency. The place ran like clockwork. Even under pressure from a large group, they maintained their cool and calmly handled the situation with grace. The room was large with a large tub and massive vanity that could hold all my stuff. The food was delicious, especially the pizza. The location was perfect for visiting the pseudo craters. Just across the street. I would definitely stay there again.

Room was decent sized. Bathroom was bigger than Hotel Varmaland, Godafoss and ODDSSON Midtown. Breakfast was very good - lots of options. Dinner at restaurant was very good (so me starters were very very good). Bar and bar tenders were very good. It had a gas/petrol pump station - hugely convenient. Adequate parking unlike ODDSSON midtown. Super convenient to hit spots around the Myvatn loop.

This hotel is amazing. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was top notch. Their breakfast buffet was above and beyond. Right across the street from the hotel is a hiking trail around the lake. There are at least 3 to 4 volcanoes that you can see. There is an ice cream store beside the hotel that makes all their own ice cream. It was delicious.

Nice hotel near Husavik. We enjoyed the large room and the breakfast. We're staying only for one night and didn't manage to try the rest of the facilities. My only negative is that the maintenance of the rooms could be better. It feels old and has some damage. Other than that, it was a great stay.
