Aged rooms but very clean. Restaurant was excellent! Lobby is comfortable and we got very lucky to experience an incredible Northern Lights show! All staff was friendly and helpful! Pool table and darts were fun. Espresso machine accessible 24/7 helped us stay awake for the show and warmed us going in and outside all night.

Property has a ton of character with plenty of artwork and local style throughout. Not a sanitized cookie cutter room or resort. Views out the window were pseudo volcanoes we walked the next day. How amazing. On check-in staff asked if we wanted to be put on the Aurora wake up call list and we said yes. This was the best decision of our trip. After a failed aurora tour earlier in our trip, at midnight we got an hour long show of terrific quality, vibrance and color. Wow! No one else was around and our photos came out great, with the aurora sillouetted by volcanoes. Also, amazing pizza they held for us in the pizza oven (at their suggestion) when they knew we would be arriving late from an activity. These are the extra mile things that make memories. Thanks.

Great hotel on Lake Myvatn. Nice restaurant on site with fancy meals to pizza on the menu. Breakfast buffet (included) was extensive and fresh. Hot tubs were nice. Sauna was not turned on. Provided free robes for hot tub. Free coffee and hot beverages in lobby. I would stay again.
