Unschlagbare Lage am See, noch gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Pros:

Modernes Hotel in direkter Nähe des Sees Mývatn. Unschlagbare Lage. Die Zimmer mit Aussicht über den See sind zu empfehlen! Besonders hat uns gefallen, dass wir unseren Hund mitnehmen durften. Auch positiv ist aufgefallen, dass das Menü im Restaurant vom immergleichen und etwas lieblosen Burger mit Pommes und Caesar-Salat abweicht. Der Fisch dort ist empfehlenswert. Noch gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für die recht teure Region.

Cons:

Die Oberkellnerin war sehr unfreundlich. Das restliche Personal war freundlich.

Un séjour au calme
Pros:

Nous avons eu une chambre avec vue sur les montagnes et les champs, sans vis-à-vis – un vrai havre de paix ! Dîner excellent au restaurant, bar agréable pour une bière, petit déjeuner buffet varié et grand parking. Une étape parfaite dans le nord de l'Islande, je recommande.

Cons:

Absence de sèche serviette dans la salle de bain.

Muy bien
Pros:

La ubicación está en el lago myath que es un entorno maravilloso. El Hotel está muy correcto y el restaurante está genial

Cons:

Lástima, la plaga de mosquitos de verano, en la zona. que no te avisa nadie, pero no es culpa del Hotel. Y lavabo muy pequeño pasa en muchos hoteles de Islandia

Way too expensive, do not stay here
Pros:

Location to natural wonders

Cons:

The value of this hotel is so poor. The hotel is built and laid out like a college dorm. We had to walk past the hotel laundry room (employees were using the ping-pong table to fold linens). We were in the basement, so it had a strange, yet distinct dorm-style smell. This was the second most expensive stay of our 9 different lodgings around the Ring Road. Would not recommend to anyone.

Mývatn: My = midge, Vatn = lake 🪰
Pros:

Beautiful views, contemporary design, helpful and friendly staff

Cons:

The flies in the parking lot were overwhelming to the point of being almost comical. Terrible to endure, but amusing as hell to watch others do the same.
