Excellent place to stay right next to the Blue Lagoon! They accommodated our early arrival and provided an amazing breakfast and dinner at the restaurant on the property.

This was a nice little hotel. We booked two rooms since we are a family of 6 but they did not reserve two rooms close together. Sadly we ended up having to sleep quite far apart. Also their tvs do not work.

Very underwhelming when you arrive, with the geothermal plant nearby and heavy sulfur smell, however, when you step inside, it’s a pleasant surprise! Great lounging rooms and staff.

Clean, convenient to the Blue Lagoon (2 min drive) and airport (20 min). Great as a one night stop, which it was for us. The price tag is a bit crazy for what it is (an old ski lodge meets Holiday Inn), but that is expected for just about anywhere we stayed in Iceland. To our surprise (we had a few subpar experiences eating at hotels in Iceland) the restaurant was solid. Just like at every hotel we stayed at, we were "strongly advised" to make a reservation upon checking in. We didn't (we had at a couple of other hotels and regretted + there was no need, places were maybe 1/4 full). Upon us walking into an empty restaurant that same day, the staff seriously asked us if we had a reservation and proceeded to consult for a few minutes as a group to see if they could seat us. It was a bit comical. Imagine: an early evening, barely any people dining and a serious discussion where to seat the four of us in a room that had about 10 empty tables. And there was another empty adjacent room! After us, not a single person entered. It was roughly 7:30pm. Given this prelude, we ordered the simple stuff: fish and chips. It was a good choice and properly done.

Extremely comfortable beds. Opened the window and had the best sleep of my life, but don’t forget your sleep mask if you go in the summertime.

This was a fantastic hotel with a great breakfast. Very clean and comfortable. Only areas for improvement would be: 1) turn on the AC, the rooms were quite warm (and with the thermal vents so close, opening the windows could lead to a strong sulfur smell depending on the wind direction), 2) put in a pool or hot tub and 3) while the restaurant had an excellent breakfast, Max's dinner was a bit pretentious.

Staff was fantastic. The property is clean and well maintained. The breakfast was delicious. Gorgeous views from the restaurant. The room was simple but nice. The bed was more comfortable than expected. The blackout shades had gaps, so unfortunately during midnight sun, we had a hard time sleeping with the light coming through. The property itself is far outside of the city and taxi fares are expensive. Although the taxi service in their website was very reliable. Being next to the Blue Lagoon was convenient but other than that, there is nothing else nearby and nothing else to do.

The hotel is well located near The. Blue Lagoon, but also unfortunately right next to a geothermal plant, which none of the photos intentionally portray. The rooms are simple and nice enough, while the bathroom is pretty bare bones - more like you’d see in a hospital room. For the cost (it was very pricey in early July), I expected a better setting and amenities. For low season, the price probably matches what you get.

Loved our stay at Northern Light Inn. Enjoyed all the views, the town and the Midnight Sun. I can only imagine how perfect this place would be to see the Northern Lights.

Very strong sulfur smell both in the building and in the immediate surrounding area. Building is very clean and well kept, but do not expect breathtaking views or beautiful scenery. Breakfast is good with a wide selection of foods to choose from. Very quick car ride to the Blue Lagoon which was nice. Also did a brief driving tour of the Reykjanes peninsula upon departure from the hotel which was beautiful.

Lovely stay the first night of travel and very close to the blue lagoon. The stay far exceeded my expectation and the breakfast bar was the best I’ve ever had. They even called to inform us of a left behind item. 10/10 stay and staff were amazing! Thanks again!
