Northern Light Inn
Nordurljósavegur 1, 240 Grindavík, Iceland – Great location - show map
From the moment we arrived at the hotel to the time we left, we felt nothing was too much trouble, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at Max’s restaurant was fabulous, make sure you book a table as it’s open to non residents too and was very popular. The spa facilities were great. Make your own waffles in the afternoon was novel and very moreish Breakfast offering was a very good selection. Beds were very comfortable and L’Occitan products were a treat.

such a beautiful hotel, really friendly with beautiful views. exactly what you want from Iceland. lovely food in Max’s restaurant… great vegetarian option too. open fire in the evenings. few minutes to blue lagoon. we left there for a couple of days in the city - and what a mistake that was.

Staff very helpful , we saw the lights ! Beautiful chilled atmosphere to relax free tea,coffee and hot chocolate just what you need after a walk outside in January! 🥰

everything, family room was very spacious, waffles in the lounge area were amazing. staff very friendly and helpful, restaurant food and service was first class

I received a very friendly welcome, including finding me a room that was ready as the one I was assigned into wasn't yet. I had arrived early. The hotel felt very cosy and a place that guests could feel at home, which although fairly utilitarian in design structure, had lots of nice touches like the honesty bar, the chesterfields in a side room, etc. I really liked the feel of this place. The bed was comfy and the room was very spacious. The bathroom was ok, a little basic. The staff at dinner were lovely. Breakfast was fabulous. And the wake up call was great - I finally saw the lights on the last night of my trip.

Great location for the end of our trip. 2min from the Blue Lagoon and great for early morning flights. Staff are so friendly and accommodating

The lounge area was really nice to sit in, eat waffles and watch the sun go down. The restaurant served excellent food and the tv room was fun and friendly to be in. Also enjoyed the 'candy's that were brought around in the afternoon.

This is such a lovely and personal hotel with lots of lovely touches. Super close to blue lagoon and we got to see the Northern Lights. 10/10. Thanks for a lovely stay. Only gutted we didn’t stay longer.

We had the most fantastic stay at The Northern Lights Inn. Staff were so welcoming. Free shuttle to and back from the Blue Lagoon. Amazing food at Max's Restaurant (the best food we had during our whole stay in Iceland). A call to tell us the Northern Lights were outside (that you couldn't see with the naked eye). Really loved it. What an amazing welcome to Iceland!

The Hotel is brilliantly placed for the Blue Lagoon. However, this Hotel has something that others do not - possibly the nicest hosts you could ever wish to meet. We were trapped in a blizzard, and the owners and staff could not do anymore for you. A great family Hotel run by great people who are there to give their guests a great experience. Great Hotel with great facilities, Congratulations on doing just that!!
