Northern Light Inn
Nordurljósavegur 1, 240 Grindavík, Iceland – Great location - show map
Staff was friendly and the whole property was so cozy. It was exactly what I was looking for for my quiet time in Iceland. The rooms and property actually look better in person than on the website.

Special location, near Blue Lagoon, we had the luck of seeing the Northern Lights in both of the 2 nights of accomodation we reserved there. Food was delicious, room very comfortable and the staff was very friendly.

We liked how the room was a good size and included a mini fridge, and the shower was large. The bed was also very comfortable. We also liked how there was an honesty bar available for guests with a good assortment of treats.

Rooms were very comfortable and clean. The Honesty Bar was a nice touch. Meals in Max's were excellent.

We had a truly amazing stay here. We loved the entire experience and will definitely stay here again if ever in Iceland. The common rooms were so wonderful and welcoming and the whole place had a very special feel. The location was awesome and the power plant didn’t seem to matter or impact the view at all. We LOVED the northern lights wake up call and got to see the most amazing northern lights there. Great breakfast and dinner food was very good. Rooms were perfectly fine. Would highly recommend!

staff are excellent, very helpful and reliable. I ask for a room upgrade and it was easy.

I felt like I was a guest at friend home not a hotel

Everything was great! the restaurant food was delicious, the spa was great, the room extra comfortable (we stayed in a deluxe room). The breakfast ver complete and with many options. The free coffee and the free treats (waffles in the afternoon) was a great plus! They even offer us a very early breakfast because we were going to the airport before the breakfast start time.

A very cozy place to stay with easy access to some of Iceland's natural wonders. The shuttle to the Blue Lagoon is super convenient. The views from the rooms are amazing, and you can opt into a nighttime wake-up call if the northern lights are visible the night of your stay. Additionally, they have a great viewing room with panoramic windows for the northern lights as well. The Inn has a very cozy feel with a warm common space with an active fireplace. Moreover, the Northern Light Inn was super accommodating when a flight delay required me to stay in the Inn an extra night. There were no extra fees or challenges, just excellent service when my plans needed to change. They even helped arrange a taxi to the airport the next day. The staff of the Northern Light Inn won't hesitate to help you in any way they can.

Free shuttle to and from Blue Lagoon. Guest Lounge with free coffee and tea. Honor bar for alcoholic beverages. Great views from the guest lounge. Complimentary fresh waffles and cream in the guest lounge each afternoon. separate movie and game room for guests. Wonderful surprise spa with dry sauna, float pods, sauna blanket and compression boots. Excellwnt complimentary breakfast plus Max’s restaurant was terrific for other meals. Surprising selection of wines. Beds very comfortable.
