Hótel Norðurljós

About this stay

Hótel Norðurljós sits on Raufarhöfn's working harbour, where the herring fleet once filled the quay before the industry collapsed in the late 1960s. Its own description keeps things modest, straightforward rooms rather than styled suites, but the furnished terrace and sea views give it the clearest coastal outlook in the village. The restaurant and bar on site matter in a place where food options close fast once summer ends, meaning an evening here doesn't require another drive down Route 85 in the dark. Breakfast is available for a fee rather than included automatically, worth confirming when booking. Free Wi-Fi and free parking cover the practical side of a stay built around a rental car, and the kid-friendly rooms suit a family treating this as one coastal night on a longer north-east Iceland route rather than a full stop on its own.
