Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Aurora Lodge Hotel is frequently praised for its location, with a strategic base for exploring the south coast and providing opportunities for aurora viewing away from city lights. Guests often mention the cozy individual lodge-style rooms, equipped with coffee machines, and the very nice food served in the central lodge's restaurant. Some guests have noted that the rooms are on the smaller side with limited space to unpack, but many appreciate the available hot tubs, which provide relaxing mountain views and potential glimpses of the Northern Lights, as well as the proximity to the Lava Centre and Eldsto Art Cafe.
