Fosshotel Myvatn

8/10 Good
"We really liked this hotel - clean, modern, nice! The downfall was the bugs, they swarm you when you step out of the car until you walk in the hotel door. We had a door with a small patio but didn’t use it because of the bugs. Other than that room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Great location for exploring but the whole area there has the bug swarms."

"Nice guest house, well placed in Husavik, the free parking makes it easy to leave the car and walk the short distance to the pier to get the whale watching tour. Super yummy restaurant across the street, but the kitchen is also nicely appointed for cooking in-house. Only critique is that the intro email doesn't explain that the same code for the main door is also for the room door, and that you have to tap the door to make the keypad light up. This was confusing and should be stated more clearly in the welcome email. Other than that, our stay was comfortable."
