United States of AmericaLocation is great - convenient for visiting scenic spots around Lake Myvatn. Food is good (both breakfast and dinner). Service is consistently professional and warm. Hotel is modern and clean.
United States of AmericaThe hotel is modern and seems pretty new/well kept. Our family of 4 had 2 rooms toward the end of the hallway. The size of the rooms were good and everything was clean and tidy. I liked the sitting area by the window and the hot water kettle/tea in the room. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with juice, fresh fruit, eggs, breads. We had dinner in the restaurant once- limited choices but we were happy with the fresh fish and tacos that we had. Overall we had a nice stay and I would definitely recommend Laxa if you're in the Myvatn area.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was delicious.The view and setting were striking. It’s a lovely hotel.
United States of AmericaGood location, extensive breakfast buffet. Staff was super friendly.
