Nice location to watch the northern lights. Rooms are mostly 2 single beds, not many with king beds. Pseudo craters were just across the road and very convenient. Gas station on site. Do note that there’s a horse stable just behind the hotel, and with it comes quite a bit of flies. Flies were in the room as well that were all crowding at the window. Had to use a tissue to squish them all. Good thing they were not buzzing throughout the room and only remained at the window location. Heated floors in the bathroom made a huge difference during the cold nights. Really appreciated the wake up call for northern lights that let me spot the northern lights for the first time. After an hour of enjoying the lights, there was hot chocolate that we could get FOC from the lobby. We loved this place (albeit the flies)

Room was very large and had 2 sinks and 2 toilets! Also a couch which was a nice touch. Carpet could use updating, but the restaurant was very nice for dinner and a nice included breakfast! Would stay again. Nice location.

This hotel is right outside of Lake Myvatn and it was very convenient to stay overnight and head into the Lake Myvatn and explore.
