The hotel and restaurant are excellent. As you drive to the property you can see portions of the Blue Lagoon. Just amazing. The only downside is the strong sulfur smell. I have not seen this comment that often in posts about the Blue Lagoon. It may be stronger now because of the recent volcanic activity that has been going on. We did not notice this smell anywhere else during our travels in Iceland this visit.

Amazing stay from start to finish, the only bad thing is that I didn't stay here longer! An amazing location right next to the blue lagoon with great views on the doorstep. All the staff from checkin, breakfast and the restaurant were fantastic, war, friendly and very helpful. I will definitely visit again. Max restaurant was amazing too, definitely try it.

15 minute walk to blue lagoon. Right next to a power station. Clean, bright. Was asked to pay in full at check in which seemed odd. Folks leave without paying. Cheapest way to get there from airport is via the blue lagoon bus. Hotel will pick you up from there and drive you 5 mins to hotel.

The sulphur smell was quite disagreeable when we arrived and we almost left right away. We went over to the Blue Lagoon nearby, and realized the smell wasn't too bad. Once we got back to the Inn, the smell was nearly gone. We didn't even notice it the next 3 days.

We have enjoyed our stay at Northern Lights Inn, from arrival to departure they have been very helpful and accommodating. Fridrik, Ziggy, Linda and the driver who took us to the airport, a very special thanks. The time where we were at the round about asking for a taxi, Linda has picked us up to get to the hotel instead . On our departure the alarm went off for an eruption warning and they were so kind to give us a lift to the airport right away. They were so helpful with directions and links to transport as we did not get a car rental. We enjoyed a 15 minute walk back from the blue lagoo safely. The hotel is extremely clean and organized, well filled, beds and pillows were so comfy. They tidy up everyday as well. The breakfast was fantastic. Thank you again for such amazing service and experience and we will for sure be back again. _Joyce, Lee & Adela

All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We were able to check in early after a red eye flight. Our group enjoyed the quiet and the cozy lounge spaces to hang out as a group. We used the restaurant for all of our meals as we arrived on a windy, rainy day. This is a great spot to stop for a night if you plan to visit the Blue Lagoon after flying into REK. The lava fields surrounding the hotel are other worldly!
