Da Myvatn ad Askja
Pros:

Questo albergo è una meraviglia sotto ogni prospettiva! Abbiamo soggiornato qui per la seconda volta e si conferma sempre una garanzia! Bellissimo, un'architettura rispettosa immersa nel contesto naturale di Myvatn, una grande vetrata dalla sala ristorante si affaccia sullo specchio lacustre e permette di cenare e fare colazione ammirando il lago, gli pseudocrateri e le concrezioni laviche avvolte dal muschio! È superlativo!
La camera è bellissima, moderna, pulita, nuova di design, con ogni comfort, silenziosa. Colazione ottima, variegata, cena squisita, una menzione speciale per il filetto d'agnello, da provare. Abbiamo scelto per il secondo anno questo hotel come tappa per il nostro viaggio ad Askja. Consigliatissimo.

Great hotel with magnificent view with mini sauna and one shower
Pros:

Location and view on surrounding area.

Cons:

Sauna was very small compaired to so many rooms. It was crowded and unpleasant and only 1 shower. People just come in to have a look. No control at all. A pity and pool would be a surplus.

Wunderbar aber teuer.
Pros:

Wundervolle Lage, unbedigt Lakeview Zimmer nehmen. Stilvoll, sauber, gutes Essen. Super bequeme Betten und gute Cocktails.

Cons:

Sehr teuer. Für einen Cappuchino mit Hafermilch beim Frühstück wurden 850kr extra verrechnet. Für ein solches Hotel enmpfinde ich das als unpassend. Personal spricht kein Isländisch.
