This hotel seems to be a bit unorganized. We had one breakfast there and it was a disaster. There was not enough dishes, guests were cutting loaf of bread with bare hands, eggs were dry, there is no freshly cooked food in the breakfast buffet. It’s definitely of substandard compared to the Fosshotel at glacier lagoon. Will not recommend.

Fosshotel Mývatn is a gem in North Iceland! This was my second time staying here, and once again, it exceeded expectations. The rooms are modern, cozy, and offer incredible views of Lake Mývatn. The staff was warm and helpful, and the on-site restaurant served some of the best meals I had on the trip. It's the perfect base for exploring the surrounding natural wonders, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area!
