I recently stayed at the Northern Light Inn near the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, and it was an unforgettable experience! The hotel's location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of Iceland's lava fields. It's the perfect spot to unwind and take in the serene landscape, especially with the Blue Lagoon just a stone’s throw away. What really stood out to me was the incredible staff. From the moment I arrived, everyone was so welcoming, energetic, and genuinely helpful. Whether it was recommendations for local activities or assistance with any requests, the team went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect. One thing I would suggest for future guests is to consider renting a car. While the hotel is in a gorgeous, peaceful location, transportation options are somewhat limited. Having a car gives you the freedom to explore more of the surrounding area and enjoy the beauty of Iceland at your own pace. That being said, the hotel staff is always there to assist with any travel needs, and they offer shuttles to the Blue Lagoon, which is super convenient. Overall, if you're looking for a peaceful retreat with top-notch service and incredible views, Northern Light Inn is a fantastic choice!

Couldn't be better
This was my favorite spot of my 6 night journey around the South Coast of Iceland. Such a comfortable and relaxing place. Ideal for seeing the Northern Lights (which I did!). They have games and seating area to wait inside where it is warm for the Aurora to show. If you get cold standing outside, just pop back inside for a bit to warm up and then go back outside to see more of the beautiful Aurora. The restaurant had wonderful food for dinner as well as a very nice breakfast buffet with many great options. I also enjoyed the sauna, steam room and tranquility space there. If your goal in Iceland is to see the northern lights, this is the place to do it!

The room was clean, spacious, and well-kept, which made for a comfortable stay. However, road closures in the area made finding the hotel a bit of a hassle. The most notable downside was the power plant located right next to the property. It is loud and overwhelming.

Lovely hotel. The front staff were great. They signed us up to be woken up if the northern lights came out (which we didn't think would but did!!). They woke us up at 2am to see amazing Aurora lights. The meal in the dining room and also the breakfast were GREAT. Room was large, clean and comfortable beds. Would stay here again for sure. Especially b/c very close to The Blue Lagoon and the airport.
