Hotel Laxa is located by lake myvatn, a little further away from all the farmhouses which puts in a quiet location with views all round of Myvatn and still convenient. The staff at hotel are extremely helpful and friendly. They have a nice bar with quiet places for work and a game room as well. I stayed for 3 nights and loved it, and would highly recommend.

This property was our financial splurge while on the Ring Road for 6 days, right in the middle and perfectly timed. Very comfortable room, quiet, plenty of amenities, restaurant, games and relaxing areas. The food in the restaurant, while pricey, was beyond flavourful expectations. A must stay for travellers that can spoil themselves!

Very helpful staff. Decent restaurant but closes very early. Electric fuse goes off every day in the room - something the hotel should fix. The area next to the table tennis table stinks from smell coming out of the laundry room. Should address that.

The room was on the ground floor (actually even below) facing the parking lot, so no privacy as everyone passing could see through the window. Not very pleasant.

Very convenient to get to. The staff was extremely nice. Not a fan of the modern shower. Fitted bedsheet had pills all over it and was annoying. Restaurant was good and they worked with us so that we could immediately be seated. Victoria, our waitress, was exceptionally good.
