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.

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.

Superior room was nice and spacious, albeit a bit blandly furnished/decorated. Location was perfect for us…a stones throw from the Blue Lagoon and centrally located on Reykjanes peninsula for exploring all the points of interest. Removing a star because the room temp was too warm (early September), as there is no ventilation/ circulation other than a small window to open. (The heaters were off). The restaurant food was excellent.

Shocked to have been asked to pay 611.00 for a subpar room that had a view of the parking lot. In Chicago, for this amount of money I would have a hotel room facing Lake Michigan and high end amenities throughout and with a pool.
