Fosshotel Mývatn

The hotel was clean modern and comfortable to stay in. The restaurant was sleek and yet not over the top. The food was delicious and they gave you a decent portion. We purchased the breakfast option at time of booking which I feel is always necessary on travels. The options were all there and the food was good. We had a beautiful view of the lake and we were able to have a stunning view of the northern lights right from the window. We did go out to see them but did not need to. The location is beautifully secluded from the lights of cities and surrounded by mountains, volcanos and water it was perfect for a get away. I wish we would have stayed longer.

I loved the big window looking out on to the lake, the sky & beyond. I loved the bathroom - a counter big enough to hold toiletries, a shower that contained the water. I enjoyed the dining room - dinner in the evening & the full breakfast buffet in the morning. I even took advantage of the picnic lunch offered. Bonus: I saw the Northern Lights for the first time in my life from the big window looking out at the sky in the middle of the night! : )

Stayed one night. Location is 5 minutes outside town with views of Lake Mývatn and crater from dining and common areas. Room was clean and modern. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good quality with many options. Dinner was excellent - had chicken breast with mushroom risotto and blue ling. The chicken dish was the standout. Hotel is close to Mývatn Nature Baths. Only regret was staying just one night.

Very comfortable bed a perfectly clean room in this sober modern design hotel. We enjoyed view on the extraordinary Myvatn lake and a family of sheep roaming around. The chef prepares exquisite meals, we would recommend the lamb a the chocolate cake. A bowl of skyr for breakfast is a must. The members of the staff were fantastic, kind and helpful, very professional. The sauna on the third floor has a view and the lake and terrace to chill out.

Location was ideal to major waterfalls, Húsavík and onto Akureyri, Varmahlíð & Laugarbakki. The architecture of this Fosshotel was well thought-out ; carpark lots were amble & the driveway allowed guests to temporarily park nearer to offload luggage nearest the entrance. The best rooms in the hotel were perfect, with long baths with a view (instead of an outdoor balcony hot tub, like in Glacier Lagoon's Fosshotel) They were ensuite inside & sheltered from the summer insects... Breakfast was excellent & wait staff attentive, hardworking.
