About the neighborhood

Next to a golf course and in a national park, Northern Light Inn is in an area with great airport proximity. Viking World Museum and Reykjanes Art Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's notable landmarks include Reykjanesviti and Garður Lighthouse. Blue Lagoon and Gunnuhver Thermal Springs are two other places to visit that come recommended. Snorkeling and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and horse riding nearby. Visit our Grindavik travel guide

The property is clean and well maintained. The front office staff is friendly and very helpful at addressing any questions. The breakfast buffet has many options available to cater to diverse tastes. My favorite was the bacon, Icelandic Skyr and oatmeal. We also liked their saunas on site and weight room. The location is very peaceful and right next to the blue lagoon. I highly recommend and would definitely return.

The Northern Lights Inn was the perfect hotel, ideally located near the airport. The rooms were immaculate, the staff warm and attentive, and the amenities impressively comprehensive. The property features two beautifully decorated lounge areas, a well-equipped gym with all the essentials, and a standout spa offering a traditional sauna, infrared sauna, steam room, stone bath, and a serene relaxation room. The restaurant is especially memorable, with stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding landscape. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner on-site, making it easy to settle in and unwind throughout the day. We’re already planning our return—and truly looking forward to it.

From check in to check nothing was too much trouble lovely friendly staff clean rooms and definitely worth the upgraded room to use the spa and coffee machine in the room. Lovely idea to have the honesty bar in the hotel and a wake up call for the northern lights which we were lucky enough to see! Would definitely recommend this hotel for close proximity to the blue lagoon which was amazing! Thank you everyone for a lovely stay
