We were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis from our campervan during our Iceland #Adventure

September is one of the best times to visit Iceland because the days are still long and the nights dark enough to see the Aurora.
Easily one of the biggest tourist traps in Iceland. Is it beautiful? Yes. Is it flooded with people and tour buses making it hard to get a photo? Yes.

I would give it 5 stars but the beds are pretty hard and the shower is tiny. Despite that, we had an amazing stay! We saw the northern lights so perfectly from here. The staff are very kind and helpful.

Easy check in and check out. Restaurant within walk-in distance. Kitchen was a bit crowded so I am glad we didn’t plan to cook. Just a few minutes away from beautiful view of the water and sunset. We drove for about 5-10 minutes and got to see northern lights. It’s located in a cute small town. Highly ...
