Pros:

Hommikusöök oli võrratu. Avar tuba. Esimesel korrusel avar puhkamisala.

Cons:

Peatusime kaheks ööks. Esimesel õhtul hot tub oli mõnusalt soe, teisel õhtul oli hot tub külmavõitu. Ei saanud kaua istuda, külmusin ära. Samuti saunas oli 70 kraadi sooja, aga tuul puhus pragudest sisse.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal an der Rezeption und im Speisesaal. Wir hatten ein schönes, helles und sauberes Zimmer mit Blick auf den Mývatn. Es gab kostenlosen Café, Kakao, Tee.
Das Hotel bietet nicht nur HotPot und Sauna an, sondern auch einen Billard-Pool und andere Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten.
Die Speisekarte am Abend bietet eine außergewöhnlich breite und gute Pallette an Speisen an; das Frühstücksbuffet hat alles was man/frau sich nur vorstellen kann (vor allem - ein großes Plus - frisches Brot).
Um Mývatn gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten zum Wandern (auch ein Radweg) und mit dem Auto leicht erreichbar: Dimmuborgir, Hverfjall, Reykjahlíð, Hverarönd und Dettifoss ...
