Good hotel

Reviewed By wileycoyote2019

We stayed for one night. The hotel was in a lovely location and very easy to park. Close to the harbor and restaurants. We just had an issue with the temperature of the room when we arrived. It was a particularly hot day when we arrived and the room was very hot and stuffy and we had to keep the small window open for most of the night to cool it down, which wouldn't have been an issue but we were on the first floor near the hotel entrance and there were a lot of noise coming from bar area/entrance area. It would've been helpful to have the curtains closed prior to our arrival to keep it cool.

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.

High quality hotel in this tiny town

Reviewed By suluarcher

We stopped over for one night on our ring road trip of Iceland. This hotel stands out in the town as significant investment in a small place. Our harbour facing room was large and well appointed - best pillows on our trip so far - all comfort was provided . FOC with your room is access to a great hot tub ( large ) with beautiful views over the water and mountains. There is also a sauna. Great cocktail bar and nice lounge to sit in and sip your drink . We ate in the restaurant (booked ahead ). Food was good - probably the most formal restaurant we’ve eaten in so far ( day 10/14). Breakfast was a well provided self serve buffet. Coffee from a machine . I suspect like half the world Icelandic hotels are struggling to recruit too many staff at the moment. I would happily come back to this hotel for another stay.

Hotel Kea by Keahotels

Mid 20th-century hotel located in the heart of Akureyri, the gateway to the rich natural splendor of northeast Iceland.

Hotel Kea

Reviewed By ttt1222

We stayed here for 3 nights. Overall, the room was OK. Our room was on the fifth floor. It was quiet. The hotel is well-located, in the centre of Akureyri. However, parking places around the hotel are limited. It is difficult to find a place to park. The breakfast buffet is average. Everything tasted bland. A staff member (the person in charge of the breakfast staff) was not friendly. Made me feel unwelcome.

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.

Slightly better than ok - about a 3+

Reviewed By JoeNathan9249

Room was ok - we were given a senior room and taking a shower meant most of the floor in the bathroom got very wet (which means poor design). The breakfast was ok - not great but ok. Room was pleasant - about standard size for a hotel at this price point. Breakfast room food was ok. Nothing special. Pleasant backyard patio and cute indoor little play area for children (had not see this kind of thing in other hotels - pease see picture below

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.

The place is quaint and well kept. Basic room, clean and comfortable. The highlight of the stay was the 3 course dinner, starring Lamb. If you stay here, and you do not eat here, you are missing out on one of the best meals in Iceland.
