Hotel Hótel Laxá

Olnbogaás, 660 Myvatn, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for Hótel Laxá – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent service from hotel staff in answering any questions we had. Complimentary breakfast is really good and larger selection than typical. The northern lights wake up call option is a very thoughtful offer!

Benjamin, United States of America

This hotel is the best location for me to see the aurora. There’s a calling service for aurora as well. The room is so pretty with a big window and you can see the view outside with bay window sitting. Also, very nice breakfast.

Ms, Thailand

Really neat architecture, shaped in a way that each room has a beautiful view out of huge windows! Room was super cozy, beds were great. Hotel has an excellent restaurant, huge breakfast buffet, bar and stylish lounge with large windows viewing the Myvatn lake and mountains. Restaurant was actually great prices in Iceland standards! Bar has a happy hour. Staff were super accommodating and friendly giving out tons of tourist info.

Rachel, Canada

I liked the location of the Hotel. The food was very good and everything was clean.

William, United States of America

The hotel in the outside is beautiful end the view from the room is really nice.

Baumann, United States of America

Amazing hotel, practically everything was good about it. Room was great and clean, staff were helpful, knowledgeable and had good initiative - even asked if I was headed eastwards or westwards because there was a tunnel to the west that had a fee to be paid online. Has a "northern lights wake up call" service (unfortunately no northern lights during my stay). Great breakfast spread - best I had in my entire 2 weeks in Iceland. Has dinner options if you're feeling lazy to travel - a little pricey but not unexpected for a hotel restaurant. Also maybe because I got a list minute deal but it was cheaper than any other accommodation, even the basic guesthouses, so it was superb value for money.

Breakfast was great. Location great for northern lights if they can be seen.

Alan, United States of America

Wonderful hotel in the Mayvatn area. Great views, clean and a great breakfast. They have a northern lights wake up call which we opted for every night.

Dennis, United States of America

Our room was way too warm! I turned the thermostat down to 10 and i was still sweating. Window wouldn’t stay open because of the Myvatn winds.
