This was a gorgeous stop over at Lake Myvatn. Hotel is very well kept and the restaurant was delicious for dinner and breakfast. They also have a late night happy hour which was a pleasant surprise, having a night cap overlooking the lake was fabulous.

It’s a good hotel but not for people with allergies. The have carpet flooring and there is noway of having fresh air coming into the room because of huge number of flies outside. Putting screens would be a good fix. They need to get new sheets as well. Lots of fabric pills on the sheet to the point I felt them on my skin the whole time. Reservation was for 2 nights but we left early after the first night due to my son’s allergies and room being on the warm side.

A third-rate property at best with an overpriced restaurant with poor service. At least it was quiet. Hair from a previous guest was left in the bath and a light fixture fell apart while using the sink. Staff are poorly trained in terms of customer service.

The hotel itself was great; loved having the small public gathering areas near the elevators and the room was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. We stayed there just prior to, and during a freak snow-storm, which is where we noticed the downfalls. While the roads were mostly closed during this time, when the did open up, the hotel was slow to get the parking lot and driveway cleared of snow, making for later, more difficult and stressful departures, and made guests feel even more "trapped". Something that most guests won't ever experience but it did affect our stay.

Lovely views but average hotel
2nd Foss Hotel we stayed in as part of a ring road trip. I do feel the Foss hotels are expensive for what they are. A lot of style on offer but lacking in other ways. Room had a balcony with a view to the lake and mountains. All very stunning. Room itself was small but good storage options. Food prep was forbidden in rooms (a theme with Foss) but at least there was a kettle in this one. No sound proofing at this hotel. Staff were all very friendly with one of them telling us to come look out the front during evening drinks where we saw the most stunning light up clouds from a sunset. Bar area was lovely as was service. You can sit outside with drinks too.
