Northern Light Inn
Nordurljósavegur 1, 240 Grindavík, Iceland – Great location - show map
The staff are very friendly, informative and the hotel is cosy and homely .
United KingdomFantastic location for what we wanted to do. Close to Blue Lagoon and had its own sauna / spa so had to try the Aurora pods which were certainly different. Great desk staff and nothing was too much trouble. Never used the honesty bar but items appeared on final bill booked to our room which were removed when challenged but that happens at hotels worldwide. Will certainly return on our next trip.
United KingdomGreat food, more hot vegetarian options would of been nice 😊
United KingdomBrilliant breakfast spread, lovely large, quiet room. Great lounge space with a log fire. Best bit were the free transfers to the Blue Lagoon. It was made so easy. Plus the hotel also organised us a taxi to the airport at a much better rate.
United KingdomClean hotel, large rooms, well located for airport and blue lagoon (can walk to blue lagoon). The central viewing tower thing with balcony was great for seeing the northern lights. The geothermal power plant next to the hotel is fascinating but causes a lot of light pollution so be aware when trying to see the lights. Great family room, large with plenty of room for two children. Clean with good shower and nice toiletries. The restaurant was good and welcoming to children. I would stay again.
United Kingdoma very welcoming place with an excellent restaurant and friendly staff!
NetherlandsVery clean, warm and comfortable. Rooms were very well laid out. Plenty of storage in room and bathroom. Robes and slippers provided. Fireplace in the sitting room was a great feature.
United KingdomWe were woken when the northern lights were visible so we all got great pictures!
United KingdomGreat location, amazing breakfast and lovely room.
