Hotel conveniently located in Mývatn Lake District. Staff are friendly and helpful. I found the hotel cleanliness poor - rooms and overall hotel was worn out and needed fresh paint and flooring. I expected more for the price paid on the accommodations

Due to weather we had to adjust dates and they did so without issue and we're very accommodating. 2nd time I've stayed here and it's my go-to in Akuyeri.

Outstanding customer service. Front desk helpful, courteous, and professional: from advice to local bookings to problem-solving. The location also is unbeatable: right in the heart of the town and just below the church on the hill, a major visual landmark.

The property is in a great location and was easy to get to. There is no on site parking which can be difficult and the layout is odd - we had to go up to floor 3 from floor 1 to go down to floor 2. It wasn't really far, but more of a hassle with luggage to get to and from the room.
