Not enough parking on-site when we arrived. Could consider having the restaurant open later as a lot of people appeared to arrive after it finished dinner service like us. Fortunately we found another option nearby on the way into town.

Comfy and close to attractions

This is such a beautiful hotel perched high on the hills with a fantastic view of Mývatn lake below. The hotel is exquisite and luxurious. The rooms were comfy and spacious. There is a restaurant and good selections for a paid breakfast. It's close to the attractions. Get there early as parking is limited.

Very crowded at check in. Got to room and it was over 90 degrees in room. Tiny window with no air flow and no air conditioning. Small fan in room circulated the hot air. Asked for a different room, a second fan, or an extension cord to put fan in window - was told “no”. Unusually warm in Iceland (72 degrees F) was explanation. Also safe and one light didn’t work, but that was the least of our problems. This was most expensive hotel of our ten day Iceland adventure ($460USD) and worst night sleep, simply laying on top of bed uncovered without sheets. Miserable. Got up early and left
