Northern Light Inn
Nordurljósavegur 1, 240 Grindavík, Iceland – Great location - show map
The location was perfect for a stay near the Blue Lagoon and we were fortunate to see the northern lights!
Germanythe location to blue lagoon, airport and to see northern lights and waffle hour!
United KingdomThe staff is very welcoming and friendly. They helped us with everything we needed and more. We had a celebration dinner there and the chef made a special 5 course vegan menu with wine pairing and a free extra dessert. Some of the dishes had a meat option (for my parner who is non-vegan). The whole thing was to die for, by far the best we ate in Iceland, even when compared to some other fancy places. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights while there because of their wake up call service. The room was comfortable, especially appreciated the floor heating and the view of the lava field. The spa is nice, with three kinds of saunas, massage if you book in advance and we really liked the aurora float. We highly recommend this place
Romaniavery nice property. directly across from the blue lagoon
United States of AmericaThis is our third stay. The room and staff are exceptional.
United States of AmericaBreakfast offered many selections. Price for room much better than the two others in the Blue Lagoon area.
United States of Americafriendly & very accommodating staff, a restful place
PhilippinesWe checked in late and only stayed one night and had to leave early for the airport. The staff was very nice and informative. Check in was quick. The room was a nice size and had vaulted ceilings which made it feel even bigger. They have "early breakfast" out at 4am (full breakfast starts at 7am) which was a pleasant surprise - we were able to get some coffee and a bite to eat before we left. I would stay here again.
United States of AmericaWonderful and welcoming experience. Shuttle to and from The Blue Lagoon was perfect. L'Occitane products in bathroom was really nice! I will look forward to a return visit.
United States of AmericaLOVE this place! The staff members were completely friendly and responsive. They made sure all of our details were correct from airport pick-up/drop-off to our final bill, to accommodating our early arrival and departure. The restaurant is lovely with beautiful views outside. The food is delicious. The entire hotel is serene and gorgeous. We went to the blue lagoon for the morning, which has a walkable path directly to Northern Light (don't even need to walk on the road). The blue lagoon is an event for sure, and worth it, but it was so hectic by comparison to Northern Light and it seemed really expensive to stay overnight there. Why do that? Northern Light was much more our speed...quiet, beautiful, calm design, and exceptional staff. Stay here!!
