Good location in the ring road
Cons:

Dinner and breakfast was not good as expected. We thought that the Hot tub/Jacuzzi and Sauna were going to be amazing but for our disappointed were not worth to give a try.
It was an expensive hotel for what it was offered.

Awesome hotel and staff if you're going to stay in Myvtan
Pros:

The staff was amazing. In particular, Emma at the front desk was very helpful as I tried to figure out my itinerary.

The wait staff at night were wonderful. The food was so wonderful that I actually ate there both nights which is not something I would typically do.

Cons:

The room was too warm but it seems like that's just the way it is in Iceland.
