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!

As the name implies, great viewing of Northern Lights. Staff help to alert you when the opportunities arise. Nice lounge area to hang out with an “honesty” bar with drinks and snacks.

The staff was very good with communication and answering all of my questions. They helped me book airport shuttles to and from the property! They are very close to the Blue Lagoon so if you have an early reservation for that then I definitely reccomend this property. The staff was also SO nice, will definitely stay here again. They will also let you sign up to get a wake up call if the northern lights are out, in which I did and the front desk guy helped take pictures! All in all a great stay and I will definitely be coming back!
