A stylish hotel, good food and friendly staff, although the rooms could offer more space
Pros:

The location is beautiful, and the views from the lobby are particularly impressive. The overall design of the hotel is modern, stylish, and very pleasant. Both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were very tasty. The dinner selection was somewhat limited, but the dishes we had were delicious. The staff were also very polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay.

Cons:

The room was quite small, and there was limited space for storing suitcases and clothes, which can be particularly inconvenient when travelling with wet clothing. More storage space and better facilities for drying wet clothes would be a significant improvement, as this is something that seems to be lacking in many hotels in Iceland.

Pros:

Las instalaciones están bien, me gustó que en recepción nos dieran la opción de que nos despertaran si esa noche se veían auroras boreales.

Cons:

Debe ser un Hotel relativamente grande, el parking casi se llena y el comedor a la hora del desayuno puede quedar pequeño, tanto en mesas como incomodidad al ir al servirte en el buffet.

Stunning location with wonderful food.
Pros:

Views from the bar were amazing, food was excellent, view from our room was amazing, wake up service for northern lights.

Cons:

The weather, stupid clouds ruined the chance to see the northern lights, that is not the property’s fault, that was just the only thing we didn’t like about our stay.

Great option in Myvatn
Pros:

Location of hotel was great, outside of town and traffic with a great view of the lake region. Dinner and Breakfast were both very good.

Cons:

Only two small notes . . . for the price of the room I thought the fitted sheet on the bed was very cheap and scratchy. Also for being so far away from the lights of town, I thought the exterior lights of the hotel could have been lower to not distract from stargazing or aurora watching. Maybe they dimmed them later at night but I was only awake until about 1030pm.

Posizione ideale per un soggiorno a Myvatn.
Pros:

Il nostro road-trip ci porta nel Nord. Ci fermiamo a Myvatn per due notti. Posto tatticissimo per visitare i dintorni. Zona turistica, scelta limitata per dormire, alloggi e ristoranti costosi. Hotel Laxa ci costa 330 euro a notte, con colazione e bagno privato. E' il tipico albergo che si vuole "in, moderno, industrial" ma al quale mancano dettagli essenziali per veramente fare il passo di qualità. Detto ciò: accoglienza gentile, possibilità di prenotare tours e i bagni di Myvatn con la reception. Camera spaziosa, bella, calda. Vista parcheggio e landa. Bagno enorme, adeguato per i disabili, ma mancano dei ripiani o ganci per appoggiare la roba e gli asciugamani, non c'è lo scopettone (!), aspirazione rumorosa (si sentono i rumori in camera) e non insonorizzato. TV piccola senza canali satellitari (canali in islandese o inglese) con telecomando mezzo rotto. WiFi. Letto e cuscino comodi. Per il prezzo e come si presenta al primo impatto mi aspettavo di meglio, sinceramente. La colazione a buffet però è molto buona e di qualità, c'era anche del melone maturo (!).
A cena abbiamo mangiato al ristorante dell'hotel. Cameriere attento, ma menù con poca scelta (che si ripete la sera successiva).. Buono ma porzioni piccole per il prezzo (costoso. Per es manzo tenderloin con patate sono 8000 ISK = 56 euro !). La seconda sera abbiamo mangiato in un altro ristorante della zona, con prezzi simili, ma menu e qualità migliore (Vogafjos Farm Resort).

Cons:

mancano quei piccoli dettagli per giustificare il prezzo, vedi sopra (bagno, TV non satellitare, ristorante).

还可以
Pros:

酒店自带停车场，视野很棒，有极光叫醒服务，员工友好，早餐好吃

Cons:

早餐需要排队和拼桌，我知道米湖地区很多蠓虫，但是房间里也有！我的朋友第二天身上起了很多红疹子，不知道是被什么虫咬了
