Great hotel on Lake Myvatn. Nice restaurant on site with fancy meals to pizza on the menu. Breakfast buffet (included) was extensive and fresh. Hot tubs were nice. Sauna was not turned on. Provided free robes for hot tub. Free coffee and hot beverages in lobby. I would stay again.

Great location, excellent hotel
This hotel is just across the street from the psdudo craters, which is so nice to walk around.. Our room (and it looks like all rooms) have a lake view, which is absolutely beautiful. We hear the bird occasionally, which is so cute. The lobby has beautiful displays of various birds. For hot tub and sauna, the front desk provided robe and slipper. If the hot tub is hotter, and sauna was not broken, it would be an even better stay. The Islantic buffet is fantastic, I had salad and soup choice, and hubby had the full buffet. There are also small cubes of food like blood/liver pudding, dried fish, sheephead jelly and shark to try out. Though shark is not my thing, (hehe) it was great to dry various lcal foods in one place.

Enjoyable stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at Sel Hotel. Its location is perfect - by the Myavtn lake and right across the street from the information center. The hotel staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. The room (especially the newer room) is comfortable, clean, and has enough storage space. Bathroom is of adequate size. The included breakfast is good, so are the other meals. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a large, albeit somewhat outdated, room. Plenty of space for three people. Breakfast was a great addition.

Hotel is outdated, showing signs of overuse and lack of renovation. I also found blood stains on my bed sheet, not very impressed. The location is nice, right next to Lake Myvatn, but not lakefront. The restaurant is very nice, full buffet breakfast was included, although there were lots of flies hovering and landing on food. This hotel needs better management.

We love Myvatn! The view you can find there is the most wonderful. This hotel is within a short walk to all the trails to enjoy the majestic view. The dining options are very good. We enjoyed our dinner at the hotel. Because of the midges, we couldn't open our window and the room got a little stuffy. Other than that, everything is great.
