Highly recommend!! The location is absolutely perfect. Within easy walking distance of the Blue Lagoon. Close to the airport. And perfectly situated away from light pollution to view the Northern Lights! The Inn was clean, beautiful, warm, lots of windows, cozy living spaces with a beautiful fire and games to play, and the staff was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend!

Amazing night!

Even though it was too cloudy to see the northern lights, the hotel was wonderful! Cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. It is also super close to the Blue Lagoon.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Northern Lights Inn!! The dining at Max’s is phenomenal- world class!! We enjoyed a lovely dinner after visiting the Blue Lagoon and amazing breakfast buffet the following morning! We loved the lounge areas with cozy couches, fireplace and plenty of games to choose from! The guest rooms are lovely and enjoyed shower products! The only negative experience was taxi transportation to & from the airport. It is rather expensive for the short distance and not necessary to reserve ahead through the hotel. We had an hour from the time we departed the airport until our reservation at the Blue Lagoon. We did not see a taxi driver holding a sign with our name at the airport exit so we elected to take another cab - there were 8 out there waiting! When we checked in at the hotel, we were made to feel bad that we did not wait for the driver. We offered to use this driver the next day when returning to the airport but was told that was not possible. So we contacted the driver who brought us to the Inn. The next day, the original driver came into the guest lounge stating he was called to take us back to the airport. We were confused & explained to him that we had inquired about this but told this was not an option. It was very uncomfortable when the driver we did in fact request showed up to take us to the airport. Again we were made to feel we had done something wrong! There was never a message that the Inn had arranged a ride to the airport for us.

Staff was very friendly and the accommodations very comfortable. Open areas to relax outside your room were well appointed. I would skip the ‘spa’ as it’s really just a series of saunas (nice but not worth paying the daily fee). Nothing in the area (other than the Blue Lagoon) if you don’t have a car, so plan on having to eat at the hotel restaurant for all your meals. Food was fine, but it gets redundant.

The one thing that came up was that the inn tells you they'll wake you if the lights are visible. If there's no staff during the night, who is waking you up if the lights are showing. The last night of the stay, the lights were visible some places. Had they been visible that night before 3am, who was there to let people know?
