You pay for the location
Pros:

Great location, helpful staff

Cons:

This is a very basic, big mass-hotel. Value for money for us here was just awful (this is by far the most expensive place we stayed at in the whole of Iceland). Dinner was decent, breakfast was less than ok. Nothing to write home about

Enjoyable stay in Se Hotel Myvatn
Pros:

Breakfast was a buffet and was very nice. Room was a good size. Bed was comfortable and everything was clean. The hotel has a hot tub and sauna which we didn't use as we visited the Earth Lagoon nearby which was really nice. Loved the salad buffet for dinner in the evening. Staff were friendly and helpful

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.
