Great location in the middle of lava fields and only minutes away from the Blue lagoon.
Very cozy atmosphere and set-up, especially in the lounge area with a fireplace and chess table!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Northern Light Inn. Every staff member was friendly and welcoming. The place was not fussy but at the same time very cozy. Restaurant was fantastic for both casual breakfast buffet and menu driven dinner. Would recommend to any and all without hesitation.

A very unique hotel in the middle of the lava field. Restaurant dining was excellent and we liked the honor bar for snack or drinks. Of course can’t forget the awesome views to the auroras!!

Stay Here It's Wonderful!
I can't say enough about the Inn and ownership quality. Very clean and comfortable Inn. The owners are the most gracious hosts. They shuttled us to the Blue Lagoon and then even to the Airport when our pre-booked taxi failed to show. We have a stellar seafood dinner in Max's Restaurant that is memorable. All the staff were friendly and kind. If you visit Iceland, you must stay here!
