Minimalist calm with lakefront drama

Fosshotel Mývatn sets a hushed, expansive tone, where intentional restraint and natural materials keep the volcanic landscape in focus. Clean lines, dark tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows pull in shifting light and weather, turning quiet public spaces into a reset button after a day outside. Guest rooms continue the sleek wood theme with minimalist, mid-century styling and big window views.

We loved the location, parking spot, the breakfast, coffee machine in the lobby, and the size of the apartment. The only issue for us was the bed was way to hard. Everything else was perfect.

We love Foss hotels. The friendly staff, happy hours, breakfasts, optional dinners, locations with stunning views, and overall comfort of the rooms were all perfect. So quiet! I also like the values of the island hotels chain, of which Foss hotels is the biggest, are portrayed in our experiences with each stay.

Very nice facility and staff was quite helpful. The price for breakfast was ridiculous. I realize there are little options in that remote area but I felt it could be more reasonably priced.

3rd time we have stayed here. One of our all time favorite hotels. Lake view rooms are amazing. Lake view dining is a must. Usually fet to see sheep wondering by the dining area or parking lot. All around lovely experience and we will continue to stay here every time we are in the north of Iceland.

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was modern, spotless, and very comfortable—and the large window was the best part: we were able to see the Northern Lights from our room without even going outside, which was unforgettable. The on-site restaurant was also excellent with great views, and everything from check-in to parking was easy. Perfect base for exploring the Mývatn area.

The property was amazing! The woman at the front desk welcomed us and even upgraded our room as we were on our honeymoon. Entering our room everything was very tidy, they even had a small plate of treats to congratulate us. We spent some time in the sauna and loved it. They had water on tap, as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion for you to use in the shower. We enjoyed happy hour at the bar and the bartender was very nice. We stayed for the breakfast buffet and they had a great variety to choose from. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.
