Clean and comfortable room, wonderful staff, and great food. We had pizzas and beer (including gluten free pizza) and it was top notch. The breakfast spread was also fabulous. Wish we had more time here - what a great oasis in the Mývatn area!

Of all the places we stayed in Iceland this was the most "homey" and friendly. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable and accommodate our needs. They have a sauna/hot tub that they offer which are nice to enjoy after a long day roaming Myvatin. They are conveniently located right across the street from the pseudocraters. Many people from neighboring areas came to our hotel for dinner and they have their own microbrewery with some tasty beverages! There was construction happening on the Ring Road the following morning and we had to leave before breakfast and they were so sweet to open breakfast earlier so we could eat before we left. They also have in-house laundry service and were able to provide us with a quick turnaround time for our stay. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would recommend staying here if you need a place in Myvatin.

This hotel is amazing. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was top notch. Their breakfast buffet was above and beyond. Right across the street from the hotel is a hiking trail around the lake. There are at least 3 to 4 volcanoes that you can see. There is an ice cream store beside the hotel that makes all their own ice cream. It was delicious.

We had a good stay at Sel-Hótel Mývatn. When we first pulled up, we were a little nervous because there were midges everywhere outside, but the staff explained that they are attracted to the light, do not bite, and usually do not fly into the rooms even if you open the window. Thankfully, it ended up not being a big issue. The hotel had some really nice extras that we appreciated, including a free coffee and hot chocolate machine available anytime, plus darts and a pool table, which my daughter really enjoyed. The breakfast was amazing and had the most variety of any place we stayed along the Ring Road. There was a waffle station, lots of bread choices, fruit, cereal, yogurt, bacon, eggs, sausage, and the typical European breakfast options. Our room was a little warm at first, but once we opened the window and the staff brought us a fan, it was much better. The beds were okay, and the location near the back of the lake was quiet and peaceful. Overall, this was a good stay with helpful staff, a great breakfast, and a nice quiet location.

Nice hotel near Husavik. We enjoyed the large room and the breakfast. We're staying only for one night and didn't manage to try the rest of the facilities. My only negative is that the maintenance of the rooms could be better. It feels old and has some damage. Other than that, it was a great stay.

Great Location on the south part of lake Myvatn. Not far from local stop for market, fuel, fish & chips approx. 20 mins. There is a restaurant on site and they brew there own beer. Food was good and the beer was too. (Be sure to try the Geyser Bread) Bar with seating area, pool table, darts, couches. Gift shop next door with bakery, coffee shop, hot soup,(try the lamb soup). Also a gas pump out front. Staff was great! Janna at front desk was a charm! She wore many hats helping out around the place. Bartenders Lucky & Bob made good drinks and had lots of good knowledge of the area to share. The breakfast was excellent! Probably one of the best I had though out my stay in Iceland. The morning girl whose name I can not remember was very friendly and a hard worker! I met 2 of the chefs who were good to speak with. Rooms were comfortable, desk & chair, comfortable bed & pillows. No refrigerator, but Janna did offer to store stuff in the kitchen fridge if needed. It was cold enough to leave food out in the vehicle. Shower was good but the tub was very high. I understand it is a soaking tub but if you are older or have disability I would recommend asking for a handicap bathroom. 2 outdoor hot tubs and a sauna. There is a lake, and a volcanic area/walking park right across the street. Note: I understand the area is brutal with Midges when it warms up. I was lucky enough to not have to deal with that. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a good stay ~ ROD N.Y.

The front desk staff were welcoming at our arrival and gave a good overview of amenities, which included Happy Hour, and pool table and darts in the common area, as well as robes for the hot tub and sauna. The rooms have heated floors in the bathroom and heated towel racks. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and provided quick service to any requests.
