This is such a beautiful hotel perched high on the hills with a fantastic view of Mývatn lake below. The hotel is exquisite and luxurious. The rooms were comfy and spacious. There is a restaurant and good selections for a paid breakfast. It's close to the attractions. Get there early as parking is limited.
Very good location. Very comfortable room with view over the lake. The breakfast spread was the best during our trip and the view from the restaurant was divine.
Very crowded at check in. Got to room and it was over 90 degrees in room. Tiny window with no air flow and no air conditioning. Small fan in room circulated the hot air. Asked for a different room, a second fan, or an extension cord to put fan in window - was told “no”. Unusually warm in Iceland (72 degrees F) was explanation. Also safe and one light didn’t work, but that was the least of our problems. This was most expensive hotel of our ten day Iceland adventure ($460USD) and worst night sleep, simply laying on top of bed uncovered without sheets. Miserable. Got up early and left
Nice and clean hotel with friendly staff. We did dine at the restaurant . It is quite expensive though. Although promised we did not receive any VIP benefits from the hotel.

Hotel was conveniently located and loved the wood decor.
The staff are very courteous. The bedrooms were a good size, very clean & good blackout curtains. The hotel was very quiet despite being quite busy. The breakfast buffet was great & had lots of choices. The meals in the restaurant were delicious.
This hotel is nice and new feeling but overall we felt it is over rated. The restaurant is just okay. Food is meh. Staff is very friendly though. Definitely an older crowd.
