Fosshotel Myvatn

Quiet Comforable Hotel

Reviewed By Peter L

We stayed two nights. The modern room was just large enough to be comfortable. Lighting was average. Our room did not face the lake, but was quiet, and the beds were good. This was a very good room for a tour.

Don't flush the toilet at night, you will wake up your neighbours

Reviewed By schliek

Hi guys, This is a supurb hotel. A 5 star hotel. fairly large room. Coffeemaker and kettle. Solid walls, noise free. Except flushing the toilet . What a wrong key. very, very clean. A good breakfast, with salmon. Unfortunatally: no brown bread. The restaurant, the chef needs some extra lessons. Tasteless. Oily Fortunatally there are better options in the neighbourhood. Regards Schliek.

Hotel Laxa

Laxá Restaurant opened during the Summer of 2014 along with the Hotel, since then our Chef has been creating a menu around Iceland and Mývatn region’s uniqueness, putting an emphasis on regional ingredients and carefully selecting high quality products. Our smoked Arctic Charr is from Skútustaðir just down the road, the fresh Arctic Charr is from Húsavík and our lamb and foal are from North Iceland and Eyjafjörður. Finally all our fresh vegetables are from nearby farm in Hveravellir, grown in geothermally heated greenhouses.

Good hotel for Lake Myvatn area

Reviewed By dirkvoyager

Very good hotel for Lake Myvatn area. Popular with tours & bird enthusiasts. Representative of local architecture. Easy check in. Breakfast is hearty and plenty. Room comfortable. No USB ports, no issue, we came prepared with 220 plug adapters and converters. Parking can be dicey with a late arrival. The restaurant food is good. They restaurant staff was understaffed and had trouble getting orders in and adding orders to check. This was discovered and resolved at check in. Good launch and recovery spot for Lake Myvatn.

Without doubt the best affordable hotel we’ve been to in Iceland!

Reviewed By epiciceland

Without doubt the best affordable hotel we’ve been to in Iceland! Amazing services, breakfast and location. There is a free private hot tube! Free high-quality coffee machine. Free northern lights wake up service. Free billiard table. The breakfast was absolutely number one out of all our Icelandic stays – huge variety of tasty and fresh meals! Hotel is located right next to the lake Mývatn, that makes it a great starting place for the exploration of entire Mývatn area. We had a beautiful room with big windows and a view right at the lake! Moreover, the staff was really friendly and sincerely tried to fulfil all our wishes and answer all our questions. We asked about one particular place in Husavik and a receptionist even offered us to call her friend in Husavik and ask her about that! Sel hotel was one of the highlights of our winter stays in Iceland. It definitely exceeded our expectations and we would surely come back again!

Iceland at its finest

Reviewed By Eeefjep

We stayed here in February 2021, right before the world was locked down due to the pandemic. This was by far the best and most incredible place we stayed at during our trip around this incredible country. things to love: The views!!! the free upgrade<3, the snow, the incredible breakfast, the friendliness and willingness of the staff to make everything magical, the dogs running around ,also if you like running, its a beautiful place to put on your runners and explore the incredible landscape, the room was very spacious, clean and felt so comfortable. The only thing that could have been better was a warning that the water from the shower has a high amount of sulfate( I could and should have known, being in iceland) , so take of your jewelry!! my necklace was black after the shower instead of silver... luckily this can be turned around with baking soda& aliminium foil but a fair warning for those who are still to travel to iceland... take of your jewellrey in the showers & hotsprings:) Thank you for this incredble stay and the incredible hospitality!! we absolutely loved it and have claimed this our very favorite part of the country.

Stong Guesthouse

Family run guest house located 5 km from the main road. We have rooms with and without private facilities . We have also 5 cottage. We are open from 01.04-20.10.

Great location but too expensive

Reviewed By Per M

Standard rooms are ok although the beds are narrow and there is no tv. However, wifi is excellent and this is important. Unfortunately, the price for a room incl private bathroom is on the high side (actually you pay as much for this standard room as you do for a high class room in some 4 star hotels). Food is really good and the price is ok. You have 3 choices for main courses and that works fine for a 3 day stay. The place is very clean and Covid is taken seriously. Hospitality is great and you really fell welcome. Location is optimal for Myvatn.

Mid-range accommodation at Lake Myvatn

Reviewed By Arne B

Very good breakfast and very well situated to explore the North (Diamond Circle). Low comfort. More like budget rooms for mid-range price. Staff was friendly and we received a good service. During the first night we were lucky and saw Northern Lights.

Comfortable accommodation, well appointed with, as mentioned warmed floors ! The site has camping and caravan accommodation, so perhaps could be very busy in season. Well sited for walking locally, with lots of well marked paths, especially up to extinct calder : and around the Lake.

The staff make this guesthouse and restaurant exceptional

Reviewed By suluarcher

We’ve just spent two nights at this farm guesthouse and loved it . The accommodation is provided in simple log cabins. They are warm and clean with comfortable beds and a good hot shower. Just what you need after a day of exploring. The restaurant where you get breakfast and can eat an evening meal is exceptional . Really good quality food with superb staff - where they find so many polite and helpful staff in such a remote location I don’t know ! All food is from the farm or locally sourced . Every meal we ate was superb .

Hidden gem - wonderful host !

Reviewed By Taube69

Though the hotel is located a few hundred meters off the road around Lake Myvatn, it is perfectly located for visiting its main attractions. The owner (a former chef) is incredible friendly and helpful. It is great to experience his passion about good cooking/kitchen stuff (coffee machine!) which he freely offers his guests to use. Sitting on the sofa in the main room was very relaxing. Would have loved to stay here for longer than just one night ! Will definitely come back when being in Iceland.
