Enjoyable!

Our room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The common areas were lovely and very inviting. The buffet style breakfast was massive and quite delicious. The staff was helpful and arranged transportation for us. They also offered to wake us if the Northern Lights were spotted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay. Great location, super friendly staff, very quiet at night and food was amazing. We will stay here again.
stacey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Northern Lights Inn is very well located for visiting the Blue Lagoon (only a couple of mins drive away) but it is right next to the power station - this was fine for us visiting in autumn as we didn’t need to open the windows, but in summer it would be quite noisy with open windows. The room was comfortable but I thought overall it was overly expensive, even for Iceland.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While underwhelming upon first arrival, this hotel more than redeemed itself with friendly staff, convenience, comfort, and breakfast/lunch. The restaurant dinner was fabulous! The breakfast buffet was also good and they offered an early smaller option starting at 4am. The hotel even offered a northern lights “wake up call”, which added to the excitement of our time there. The convenience to the airport and Blue Lagoon wears helpful.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay even though for one night. Staff was helpful and breakfast was great. I didn't like the smell outside, that was the only downside. Rooms are spacious.
Malika, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, comfortable rooms; great location near Blue Lagoon and volcanic hiking; excellent food and wine selection; and a large, guest-only family room with plenty of furniture for relaxing or playing games, plus an honesty bar to self-serve drinks and snacks whenever the guest wants.
