Lock in a great price for Hótel Laxá – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

While on our ring road trip we picked Hotel Laxa for a one night stay and could not be more pleased. The facility is not only clean and stylish, but the staff are extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant has delicious food too! Highly recommended if you plan to visit the east end of the island.

Virginia, United States of America

Very modern, clean and nice place, Loved the staff, food, views etc. Stay here it was incredible

Mark, United States of America

Beautiful hotel, great friendly staff, had a wakeup list for northern lights, nice breakfast.

Terri, Netherlands

The room is designed and clean. The hotel has northern light wake up service, and it did wake up at about 1am. That was the 2nd time I see northern light.

Stanley, China

Cool James bond vibe, restaurant was great, had the smoked duck. Best breakfast.

Miller, United States of America

We LOVED staying here. It was definitely the nicest place we stayed our entire trip in Iceland. The room was very comfortable and the view was stunning! Breakfast was delicious. We stayed in room 26, which was on the very end of the top floor, so we got 2 windows with different views. I think most of the rooms only had one window so if you have the chance to choose, it was a great room. I wish we spent more time in Myvatn!

Emily, United States of America

They offer a northern lights wake-up call! Great rooms, comfortable beds. Wonderful front desk service (the woman there was extremely kind and helpful), and the breakfast was really good. Rooms were easy to heat and had good WiFi. The location is excellent, alone on a low hill. Near many restaurants. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good.

Alena, United States of America

large capacity hotel, looks modern, good amenities and excellent breakfast. staff extremely helpful!

Michael, Ireland

Super friendly and helpful staff! Amazing location! You feel you are all by yourself in the wilderness although you are in very fancy hotel. The gave us a wake up call also so finally I saw Northern light ! (I traveled to Iceland 6 times in past two years but 0 chance) We finally did it at this beautiful place !

Kaveh, United States of America

Woman at the desk checking in was lovely. Came into find 2 small chocolates in our room, very nice touch. Teapot in room was also nice. We were in room 18, heard a lot of footsteps during middle of the night, even over my sound machine I had brought on this trip. Room itself was nice, bathroom also nice. Breakfast was great, only place in Iceland that we had eggs and bacon, also had nice variety of fruit and cereal, yogurt/skyr, waffle maker and dining area was beautiful. Very trendy lighting. Upon checkout, found that they have a list you can sign up for to be called if northern lights are seen. Would have saved myself my own 1am wake up call, luckily none were out that night. Beautiful location very near to Lake Myvatn, close drive to Dimmuborgir park, Grotjaga and Nature Baths. Would be a perfect place to see Northern lights, if they're out!

“Beautiful hotel”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
As mentioned it is in a bit of the middle of nowhere and you have to drive to Myvatn / Rekjahlid - however, this is part of what we enjoyed about the hotel, the peace and quiet and solitude. We bought some stuff at the grocery store and then got back to the room and realized there was no mini fridge in the room! That aside, a great stay!
A stunning hotel. We were here in the off season (December) so it was not a very busy, but the staff was lovely, nice bar and restaurant in the hotel. Perfect place to stay if you are aurora hunting in the winter, since the hotel stands alone on a hill. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and enjoyed nearby Dimmuborgir lava fields, the Myvatn nature baths, and the relatively quick drive (about 45 mins) to Husavik. The hotel is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but in just a 15 - 20 mins drive, there is the town of Reykjahlid where there are other restaurants, a grocery store and a gas station. (Daddi's pizza is amazing by the way!) In the summer there is amazing mountain biking and hikes!

lovely modern hotel near Lake Myvatn: large car park from where you can watch the sun rise or set over the country side, the room was comfortable, the staff was very professional and friendly. there is a wake up call for the northern lights and the place is a few minutes drive from the lake sights, 15mins drive from the next village.
