Our room was modern, spotless, and very comfortable—and the large window was the best part: we were able to see the Northern Lights from our room without even going outside, which was unforgettable. The on-site restaurant was also excellent with great views, and everything from check-in to parking was easy. Perfect base for exploring the Mývatn area.
