Clean, modern, comfortable hotel. My only complaint is that our room was so hot that it felt almost like a sauna and took a while to cool it down with open window. Everything else was top notch! Excellent staff. I was checked in by Julie ( I believe) and she was very helpful. Breakfast was great with perfect variety of items and beautiful view. Our room was comfortable with gorgeous view of Lake Myvatn and a crater. This hotel is located not directly in town, so you will need a vehicle to get places. Sauna was perfect with a balcony you can cool down on. Wish we could stay for more than one night!

We stayed at two Fosshotel properties and this one was perfectly situated to explore the area for our three nights. The breakfast buffet was perfect each morning and we enjoyed a glass of wine in the bar to complete each day. They don't offer food in the bar which would be a nice addition. Restaurant menu is a bit limited but everything we had was great. The rooms are on the small side but met our needs, were cozy and the beds are comfortable. The showers hand-held attachment was broken but the other half of the shower worked great. Staff was friendly, our stay was great and we will be back again in the future.

Very nice suites, staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly, location is ideal for things to do in the area. Only downside is there is no AC in the rooms, which isn't a problem since the windows open, except then a ridiculous amount of flies enter the rooms.

We stay at Fosshotel Myvatn for one night during our ring road driving trip in Iceland recently. The hotel is very nice and a rare find during the trip as a full service hotel although it’s very expensive. But we had a nice stay. The hotel doesn’t have a close review of Myvatn lake as I was hoping.

Hotel is clean and convenient. Breakfast needs to be improved. I had breakfast at 8am and all the croissants are gone. My husband told me he had croissant when he had breakfast at 7:30am. I asked waitress for it and she said “no more”. I just can’t believe to hear that in such a nice hotel. Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am and all the croissants are gone at 8am! I was wondering why they couldn’t order more especially in summer high season. Besides, not many choices for breakfast. A little bit disappointed from such nice hotel!
