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.

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.

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.

Between the quality of the room, restaurant, and its location, this was probably the best hotel I stayed in during my entire trip to Iceland. It's ideally situated on the southern end of Lake Myvtan where you're within 15-20 minutes drive to Hverfell Crater Mountain, Grjotagja Hot Spring Cave (where Jon Snow and Ygritte got it on), Dimmuborgir lava field, etc. The room itself was excellent. Bed was really comfortable, shower water pressure and temperature were great, plenty of electrical outlets (rooms that only have 2 or less is a pet peeve of mine), the bathroom was clean enough I didn't feel the need to wear slippers, and the room size was probably above average compared to the other places I had stayed. Service itself was par the course and I mean that in a good way because all the hotels I stayed at in Iceland had excellent service. Restaurant shines, though. Not a diverse menu but the dishes they do serve are amazing. Included some local specialties that you won't find in other areas of Iceland and everything tastes so fresh - esp the trout. Note: this being near Lake Myvtan, depending on the time of year you visit you will get absolutely swarmed by the midges outside. Best I can compare it to is large gnats or tiny mosquitos (but they don't bite). A credit to the hotel that they seem to be able to keep all of them out but yea when you're in the parking lot you'll have to fight through them a bit. That being said, I would absolutely stay here again.

Very well maintained property with friendly service staffs. It is cross street from the lake and near a nature trail. The room is extremely clean. The included breakfast is pretty good with many items to choose from. We definitely recommend this hotel.

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.
