Next to Blue Lagoon.
In the beginning, bit worry to stay in that area due to seismic activity, but Anna explained the sitution very well and big encouragement that we are in a good hand. Bit diificult to find due to road closure, but next to Blue Lagoon. Do not follow car GPS, just drive to BL and there is a sign of this hotel. Drop of and pick up to BL every hour. Very friendly and helpful staffs. The room is big and clean. Max resto also provides a nice meal although the menu is limited. Recommended.

Last min-best thing we did!
We made a last min booking here and could not have been happier we did! Highly recommend this very special place to visitors. Originally we had plans to head to the city. This was a much much better move after landing coming to relax and unwind in the lagoon region. The hotel staff was attentive and super helpful. Loved it.

We enjoyed our visit to the Northern Light Inn. Convenient location for the Blue Lagoon. The hotel is really nice and a breakfast buffet is included. The only minor con is its right next to the Geothermal Power plant. Not the biggest deal just a strange view to have from your hotel. But with that said we would stay there again for sure.

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.
