Aurora Lodge Hotel

Room is 1/4 of a big cottage. It is enough spacious and the desk is large enough. Hair drier is good and can make strong wind. Shampoo, glass kettle are provided. Breakfast is excellent and has wide varieties. Food are hot. Aurora can be seen outside of the cottage.

Well staffed lodge with peaceful views, a full breakfast spread including proper coffee and homemade bread . The soaking tubs are private as well. High pressure hot shower, comfy bed. Full bar. Lovely cafe and a good restaurant are less than 10 minutes away.

The area is okay, but can tell the property is a little bit rundown with creaking floor sound and thin walls. Certain parts of the floor are also rotten and old. Toilet is very small as well. But the reception area is beautiful and the breakfast is the best we had throughout our trip. The staff are rather nice as well.

The hotel is just outside in a quiet location from the main town. The hotel is set with the main building defacing the north with outdoor hot bath tub for the guests. It has a bar/ lounge area and a restaurant with a beautiful view of the surroundings and ample parking. The staff is very friendly and professional and happy to help. Our cottage was a little on small, cozy side but we enjoyed the stay. Everything in the room and the shower room was of a high standard and slept well. There is a coffee machine in the room with adequate storage space with a dining table and good quality toiletries. We managed to see the northern lights again in this hotel for a little while. The only feedback is that they should turn outside lights off to prevent light pollutions which caused a bit of hinderance in our northern lights experience. Otherwise a wonderful stay.

Our stay at the Aurora Lodge only lacked a viewing of the Northern Lights - not their fault, obviously - otherwise we would easily choose overnight of our nearly two week visit to Iceland to be as well taken care of as we were at the Aurora. For us, they set the bar in terms of breakfast options, especially for so small of a hotel. The room was comfortable - easy to get to. The people were friendly and helpful. If we make it back to Iceland - we WILL make it back to the Aurora - a national treasure in our book.

Quiet, remote and cosy cabin which was really close to sejanafoss waterfall. Very windy but our room was warm, clean and well maintained. There is a little bar and small breakfast area which was immaculate and cosy. Breakfast was LOVELY, pancakes freshly made daily. Katrina was so helpful and gave us great advice about a nearby not very well known waterfall (worth asking). Glad we hired a 4x4 as the track to this place is very rough and has huge potential holes (fun drive in the right car) wouldn’t recommend in a low down car. Overall a really nice 2 night stay, thank you. Would happily recommend and if we return will stay again.

Easy to check in and out. I'm not a big breakfast fan but there's was very good! Main building is beautiful, nice big window to sit near, enjoy the fire, and have a drink.

Review Had a fabulous time at Aurora lodge. Fantastic location for visiting the the south coast waterfalls, glaciers and black beach, horse riding at the Hestheimar. Easy to get to Golden Circle. Close to a supermarket and couple of restaurants. There are a number of self service petrol stations along the way. The lodge itself has ovely cosy feel. Nice relaxing areas with great views. 2 hot tubs with choice of temperature. Views over Hekla volcano. Rooms are a decent size. Comfy beds, the room is clean and warm. Toiletries and kettle provided. (Only one tea and coffee though. Sure I could have asked for more but I felt awkward. Just wish they would put a few out) Breakfast was lovely. Cereals, breads, pastries, pancakes, yoghurts, jams, bacon, sausage, egg and beans. Tea, coffee and fruit juice. I really really enjoyed my time here the staff are lovely. I have two issues for feedback and they are NOT complaints. The road to the lodge is about a mile on a dirt track. In the dark you had to go very slowly for potholes. I was probably being extra careful as in a hire car. Secondly I booked way in advance and asked if I could guarantee a room with a north facing view (I was willing to pay) I was told there were no rooms specifically facing north all rooms would have good view of the Aurora if it were to appear. On arrival there were many rooms that were facing north and by then all were full. The Aurora did appear but too many lights on the cabin doors that spoil a weak display and make it hard to see. I ended up sat at the side of my lodge to see the Aurora with a coat over the light to try and darken the area I was in. Overall fantastic stay and I will return! Had a fabulous time at Aurora lodge.

Huge portion (would have liked more bread, again I’m sure I could have asked) I really really enjoyed my time here the staff are lovely. I have two issues for feedback and they are NOT complaints.

When the aurora are active this would be the perfect location to watch. Not far from Reykjavík it felt rural and peaceful. Our weather wasn’t great but it was super relaxing. The breakfast was magnificent while the one offer of soup for dinner was a little disappointing. I could see me sitting here watching the aurora in comfort should it appear. Wildly baron and stunning. I loved it. Perfectly placed for the Golden Circle and nearby waterfalls of which there are many.
