Love the wooden floor, wall and ceiling, very comfortable. Could see gulls, horses and hear the wind if you open the window. Unique experience.

A lovely visit with great views!

The staff was able to get us into our room extra early and the view was amazing - two lighthouses and the ocean! The lighthouses and the beach were a very easy walk from the inn. They were able to give us a breakfast to go when we had to leave before the breakfast was served. The room was lovely - wood finishes - and the bathroom was really great. The staff was friendly and helpful. A lovely visit.

The Lighthouse is excellent for a one-night stay-over before or after a Keflavik flight. It is about 14 minutes by car to the airport. It is in a very quiet area at the end of the Gardur peninsula. If the hotel restaurant is fully booked, as it was when we stayed, there is another within walking distance (wild and windy weather notwithstanding) - the Rostin. Unfortunately, it closes at 8 so if you're arriving later be sure to have a hotel restaurant reservation. There is nothing else for miles.

The Lighthouse Inn is a hidden gem. Beautiful, clean and bright throughout and located in a gorgeous, peaceful setting. Even though it may be a little out of the way, it was absolutely worth it. The restaurant was excellent.. and very reasonably for dinner with a wonderful buffet breakfast included. We really can't think of any complaints/suggestions. We would absolutely come back the next time we're in the area.

The owner and staff were so helpful as we arrived early from our cruise ship and they were very accommodating. Lots of nice general areas for us to relax as a group waiting for our rooms and in the evening after a wonderful dinner at the restaurant. Hot home baked bread at breakfast was a treat

If you've ever flown into Iceland, you know the international airport (Keflavik) is 45 minutes from Reykjavik and not conveniently located at all (because it was built as a NATO base and not a commercial airport). This hotel in the small town of Gardur is much closer to the airport and is in a very quaint setting a few hundred yards from a beach and a classic lighthouse. We chose it deliberately having visited Iceland and that lighthouse the previous year. Although Reykjavik is worth a day trip, most of the natural wonders you go to Iceland to see requires driving far away from the city. This hotel was perfect for our purposes. The room was nice, the staff friendly and the price significantly less than in Reykjavik.

This property was better than I thought it would be when we booked last minute on Expedia. Super clean, and we were greeted get a warm and friendly staff person in the evening. Breakfast was also excellent. Great option to stay at for the night before your flight versus the airport hotel options… super peaceful to look out on the ocean and the horses next door. Perfect finish to our trip.
