What guests think
Hótel Laxá draws consistent praise for its scenic Lake Mývatn setting, friendly and helpful staff, modern comfortable rooms, and inviting common areas, with many guests also valuing the on-site restaurant and the popular northern-lights wake-up service.
The remote, quiet location offers wide views and convenient access to area attractions, and many travelers reported seeing the aurora. Rooms are generally modern and comfortable, though a few found them small or spartan and noted warm temperatures due to a lack of air conditioning. Breakfast is widely praised, while dinner is usually tasty but sometimes limited in choice, heavy on sauces, or pricier, and the restaurant can feel busy when tour groups arrive. Expect a scenic, comfortable base with strong service and a tranquil atmosphere.

Hotel is a ways from any dining or grocery options (groceries at the gas station), about 26 minutes. Not far from hiking (crater Hverfjall) and the lava fields (Dimmuborgir), about 45 minutes to Hverir and Krafla (Viti crater). Great scenic views from the hotel lounge. Dinner not served till 6pm, and no other options on site till then. Breakfast was included and had all the necessities. This is a hotel heavily frequented by tour and bus groups, so expect busy times at the restaurant. We found the food would have been much improved if it didn’t have so much rich sauce (arctic char), and so much cheese (lobster pasta). Rooms are comfortable and clean, it would be nice to have had a small fridge (but this doesn’t seem to be a thing in this country). Passing the laundry room en route to the rooms, afforded the sulfuric smells redolent of the thermal plants up the hill. Overall a comfortable stay.

We enjoyed our brief stay at this surprisingly large, beautifully appointed hotel. The front desk staff was exceedingly patient and helpful in answering our questions and providing advice. It was fun to poke around the various common areas on the different levels of the hotel. In addition to a fancy hotel restaurant, the hotel has separate, quiet bar area. Our room was exceedingly clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom with great shower. Excellent breakfast buffet (included in room rate) with lots of delicious options (even fruit!), all beautifully presented and regularly replenished. An expensive area to visit (Mývatn attracts a lot of tourists), but this hotel is definite recommend.

I loved the hotel itself but it unfortunately doesnt have a any air conditioning so it was uncomfortably hot and trying to open the window was a little tedious to say the least but other than that it was a great stay and really enjoyed it, the staff was one of the best ive seen in my many travels as well and deserve a raise!

This is a great parking around myvatan. Clean, nice and good breakfast. Only thing is the parking and the walk to hotel can be slippery, as the temperature drops below zero in morning and late evenings from September onwards. Also as this is in middle of nowhere, except good views nothing else to do.

Absolutely beautiful location with wonderful touches. Lots of places to enjoy the beautiful landscape. The building also is environmentally responsible as well as good to look at. Breakfast was amazing!

Great location overlooking the lake. Very clean and tidy. Staff were very attentive and polite. The evening meal menu was a little limited but of good quality and the breakfast was great too.

Nice hotel in a wonderful area. Good service, comfortable room with a view. Nice restaurant I can recommend. Their wine selection needs an improvement.

Hotel is a ways from any dining or grocery options (groceries at the gas station), about 26 minutes. Not far from hiking (crater Hverfjall) and the lava fields (Dimmuborgir), about 45 minutes to Hverir and Krafla (Viti crater). Great scenic views from the hotel lounge. Dinner not served till 6pm, and no other options on site till then. Breakfast was included and had all the necessities. This is a hotel heavily frequented by tour and bus groups, so expect busy times at the restaurant. We found the food would have been much improved if it didn’t have so much rich sauce (arctic char), and so much cheese (lobster pasta). Rooms are comfortable and clean, it would be nice to have had a small fridge (but this doesn’t seem to be a thing in this country). Passing the laundry room en route to the rooms, afforded the sulfuric smells redolent of the thermal plants up the hill. Overall a comfortable stay.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was extremely nice and well located. The breakfast was well supplied and had a large selection to choose from. Dinner was excellent but a little pricey. I liked that they asked if we wanted a wake up knock if the northern lights could be seen from the hotel. We had a lovely stay

Great hotel. The rooms are cozy, the hotel is beautiful and the location is great, on the top of a small hill. Breakfast was the best we had.

Easily the best stop on our ring road trip. Beautiful setting and design of the rooms. Great unexpected amenities like the community games room. Had the best meal of the trip at the on site restaurant. Best hotel buffet breakfast of the trip. We wish we could have stayed there longer!!
