Ryan especially is a great example of how friendly the front desk staff at Hótel Laxá is. He came to our room to help us make more room for our big luggage - and the gave us some great Aurora advice, too. Thank you very much! =). And I should mention that his colleagues were very friendly and helpful, too. The breakfast was great, too.

Chrismuc Germany

Excellent location, amazing views from all rooms, and the only hotel to have good vegan breakfast options among all our stays in Iceland

Yash United States of America

Great location, great food and staff very central to what we wanted to do. We would stay here again without question. We also enjoyed the games near the bar, made for a fun evening. It would be great if a hot tub was added.

Don United States of America

Food was very good and the dinner service was great. Hotel is in a great location if exploring the myvatn area. We were also able to see the northern lights faintly from the parking lot, which was a great experience. Upstairs areas were very stylish and room view was incredible.

Bostonbrazilian United States of America

The staff was very corteous, offered a wake up call in case of Northern lights. Food was gourmet's level and very unique. Prices were fair, location just beautiful.

Mauro Israel

The hotel is very nice and has great views. Restaurant also very good and staff very friendly.

Linda United States of America

The place was great. We stayed for two nights and were very happy. We ate dinner one night at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had during our whole trip. Really a top notch, gourmet experience. The staff were all very friendly and the location was close to all the places we wanted to explore. Although it was cloudy each night and there was a full moon, it was cool that we could sign up for a wake up call if the northern lights were spotted.

Haasler Germany

The restaurant on location was outstanding and a great value for the money. Nice property!

Atx United States of America

Excellent hotel. Very clean. The staff was very helpful. Delicious breakfast. All in all an excellent choice.

Alexa667 Greece

The location was amazing, perched on a hill top with amazing views of the nearby volcanic fields. The view from my window was outstanding!
