This hotel is quietly situated 2 km from Lake Mývatn and 30 minutes’ drive from the Godafoss Waterfall and Krafla Crater. It offers free Wi-Fi and rooms with modern furnishings.

A flat-screen satellite TV, electric kettle and seating area can be found in all Hótel Laxá rooms. Free toiletries and a hairdryer are provided in the bathrooms. Lovely staff and room. Really liked the touch of putting your name on a list on check-in to have a wake up call when the northern lights were active. Amazing views of the northern lights and very good value for money. Breakfast was lovely, great variety, something for everyone.

Featuring a garden and a shared lounge, Guesthouse Básar is located in Grímsey. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

The area is popular for hiking, and bike hire is available at this 3-star guest house. The guest house has a sun terrace and a picnic area. Is there a way to make of an already wonderful place as Grimsey an unforgettable paradise? The answer is yes. At Básar Guesthouse. The hotel is at the airport facility. If you come by boat it takes some minutes by walk, but the owner Gagga came to pick us by car. She is a professional and attentive host, always available in case of need. Breakfast is majestic. What you need to spend the day making excursions and hiking around the island. Rooms and beds are super comfortable, warm and welcoming. Even if as an Italian prices in Iceland are quite high for me, I found the price very fair and the service outstanding. Don’t miss your chance to stay at the Básar Guesthouse while on the island. A diamond inside a larger diamond that is Grimsey.

Situated 24 km from Godafoss Waterfall, Hotel Raudaskrida features accommodation in Þóroddsstaður with access to a hot tub. With free WiFi, this 3-star guest house offers a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. This is an amazing place to stay! Super-friendly hosts, they gave us good advice about the surrounding area and horse riding. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The room size and facilities are just perfect. You have a teapot and everything you need in the room, and can also ask for anything missing at reception. A hidden gem is the cat: so gentle and fluffy. We've asked for advice about nearby activities and got a lot of useful information.
