Location was amazing, remote but not hard to reach. The conditions were right and the clouds cleared up for some amazing views of the northern lights! The breakfast was beyond amazing and the best we had at a hotel/hostel/airbnb on our entire 2 week trip. Would definitely stay here again if were ever back in the area!
This hotel is quietly located 1.2 mi from Lake Mývatn and 30 minutes’ drive from the Godafoss Waterfall and Krafla Crater. It offers free Wi-Fi and rooms with modern furnishings.

We really enjoyed our stay. While the room was small, we didn’t need anything more. It was spotlessly clean and had a nice bathroom with excellent hot water for showers. The views from our room and common areas were vast and stunning. Breakfast was really good each day. Staff were very kind and helpful. The northern lights wake up call is such a great perk! They knocked on our door to alert us to the lights, allowing us to relax but also see the aurora for the first time ever- very exciting and a beautiful experience! The location was convenient for visiting so many sights in the area. We would definitely stay again.
Located by Lake Myvatn, this hotel offers WiFi . All rooms feature a TV and private bathroom. Skútustaðagígar natural site is 2 minutes’ walk away.

Radiant heated floors in the bathroom was incredible. Staff was very accommodating and very social. Food was exceptional. Given the date we booked, we were actually the only guests in the hotel which I understand is HIGHLY unusual (apparently few travelers drive Northern Iceland in the winter we are from the Midwest USA so we decided to do it anyway). Hotel has a hot tub, that we of course made use of, they gave us robes and sandals. Breakfast in the morning was incredible. I can simply say this place was exceptional and we plan to stay here on our next visit.
Offering a shared kitchen/lounge and mountain views, Skútustadir Guest house is set on a farm by the southern shore of Lake Mývatn. WiFi and parking are free.

It's a nice and comfortable house, it has the necessary tools to cook and the host was kind.
This is the perfect place to stay. Remote enough from city to get quiet night sleep in their comfortable beds. With in house restraunt formal enough to celebrate any event. With the cutest guard us from the sheep.

Nice getaway - quiet and cozy athmosphere.
Nice getaway - quiet and cozy athmosphere. Close to the main attractions at Myvatn. Great breakfast buffet. Restaurant offers little choices but what they have is good and homemade (f.ex lamb and trouts are home-breed).
