Excellent rural hotel in a very scenic area.
Pros:

Very good location at Lake Myvatn. Good breakfast and restaurant.

Cons:

I did not use the hotel hot tub. It was located across the street from the hotel and the cover was securely fastened down. (I did not feel like undoing all the straps and fasteners,)

Pros:

Bathroom was spacious and the lobby area was cozy with common sitting to hang out. There was also free hot drinks like coffee and tea. I also like that they did Northern Lights sightings wake up calls to the room if you signed up for them.

Pros:

Ήταν συνολικά μια πολύ όμορφη εμπειρία. Το δωμάτιο ήταν άνετο, καθαρό και είχε ότι χρειαζόμασταν, υπήρχε στη reception μηχάνημα για δωρεάν καφέ ή ζεστή σοκολάτα, το βράδυ εμφανίστηκαν northern lights έξω από το ξενοδοχείο και υπήρχαν στην είσοδο ανακλαστικά γιλέκα για την ασφάλεια μας. Το πρωινό πολύ πλούσιο και οι άνθρωποι που δουλεύουν πολύ ευχάριστοι. Ήταν σίγουρα μια πολύ καλή επιλογή διαμονής.

La magia dell’aurora!
Pros:

Eccezionale tutto, dalla location allo staff (c’è anche personale italiano gentilissimo!) all’ottimo cibo e colazione. Possibilità di sauna (era inclusa nel costo della camera)!
E poi la nostra indimenticabile aurora islandese sul lago Myvatn🤩
