We booked this hotel to end our Iceland trip in hopes of seeing the northern lights. We researched a lot of different hotels and this one kept popping up with great reviews. I have NO idea how they got such raving reviews! we did not see the lights which was no fault of the hotel it was raining so that does not impact my review. We had to take a bus to blue lagoon and pick up a hotel shuttle from there which again wouldn't be an issue. What did become an issue is once you are at the hotel there is NOTHING to do in the area. I had been in contact with the hotel checking on this prior to booking and was told there were some places to walk to. I also asked if there was airport transportation and was told yes. We ended up getting to the hotel around 2pm and ate at the restaurant the pizza was actually really good but after reviewing the dinner menu we were trying to find alternatives but we're told we would need to take a taxi back to Reykjavik. My husband was also told if we weren't happy with the location we should have done better at looking at the map. When they say they are near the blue lagoon they basically share a property. The hotels "walking" paths are actually the walking paths to the blue lagoon you have to walk to. Dinner was ok for what we had (can't really go wrong with bruschetta and cheese fries). The cook was very friendly and probably the best part of the hotel. Our room faced the power plant so we heard and saw that (and smelled it with the window open).

Well where do we start! From the second we arrived we were greeted so friendly by Tim at reception, he did everything he could to assist us and help us settle in. It was clear he had a 'nothing too much trouble' approach, thanks Tim it really makes all the difference. The rooms are so cosy and the Inn itself is just lovely. All the staff from cleaners, reception and the wonderful dining crew were just exceptional and really made us feel welcome. The dining crew even interrupted our dinner to let us know the northern lights were starting if we would like to go outside. With that said we stayed 5 nights and saw the northern lights in all their glory three times! We did not need to spend a fortune on bus tours, simply step into the hotel car park and there they were. We cannot rate this place highly enough. On top of that, the Blue Lagoon is literally a minute down the road AND if you aren't driving, the hotel run a free shuttle service. A simply wonderful place to stay. We will be back. Oh and last of all, food was great 😋. If you're staying in iceland then this is the place to go. Thank you Northern Light Inn team.
