Helluhraun 9, 660 Myvatn, Iceland – Great location - show map
Elda Guesthouse is a nice place right by Lake Myvatn. The staff was nice enough to let us check in an hour early as well. The building is on the older side but is still maintained well enough. We stayed in a twin room, with cozy bedspreads, a sink, and room for our luggage. It was also right across from the kitchen and bathroom. There are multiple buildings you can stay in, depending on what kind of room you have, so I can't speak to the others. But ours had a common area with TV and plenty of seating at one end of the building. The showers were just down the hall. You can pay for breakfast if you want, but we just made our own. The guesthouse is a short drive from a lot of great things to see around the lake, and there was a nice restaurant just a short walk away that even had vegan cake!

The rooms were clean and comfortable in a plain setting that was most like a hostel. Everything is on the ground floor. Breakfast was plain and tasty.

Family of 3 adults we shared a room with 3 single beds. This was our 2nd time staying in a guesthouse. The place is easy to find and we parked just in front. Check-in and out was easy. The room was basic with a sink, beds comfortable and everything was clean. Kitchen was small but we had every thing we needed to cook. The location is great to visit the Myvatn area and the baths are 5 min drive away and mud pits (Hverir), Dimmuborgir, Krafla, Skutustadir, are all easily accessible from here. Breakfast was very good. We would recommend this place; it's basic but has everything you need. It was good value for money as it included breakfast.

Very nice Breakfast (eggs, big choise of bread, yoghurt, ceriales, etc) Comfortable outsite area Perfect kitchen

Elda Guesthouse’s breakfast was the best breakfast on our trip.

It was very simple and clean. Beds were comfortable and rooms were a nice size. Very friendly front desk staff.

The facilities were really clean and comfortable. The small shared kitchen was great for dishes and a fridge. The staff was friendly and super easy checkout, just leave the key in the room making it really simple. There are 5 of us, so we got 2 rooms 3 bed and 2 bed it was great for the one evening.

The place is so white, it feels like a mental ward. Breakfast buffet was great. Good amount of options and everything was fresh. Kitchen had everything I needed.

Property was extremely quaint. Lovely homey feel. Exceptional accommodation our favorite on the trip by far! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

The value was exceptional and they had a pretty good breakfast
