Also known as The 5 Million Star Hotel, Buubble by Airmango has two locations: one on Iceland's south coast, and the one I visited in Hrosshagi along Iceland's Golden Circle. The clear bubbles offer views of the northern lights in the wintertime and Iceland's midnight sun during the summer months of 24-hour daylight.
I paid 54,900 ISK, or $403.85, for a one-night stay in June. Here are seven things that surprised me during my trip.

The bubbles were totally see-through, with no option to cover the walls for a bit of privacy.

A cabin in the middle of the bubbles featured more amenities than I expected.

I visited during Iceland's "midnight sun" season, and I couldn't believe how light the sky was in the middle of the night.
