Reviews of Hotel Viking 3 stars

breakfast was a great selection, that is the only meal I had, although I did have a beer at the bar and some nacj=ho's. they were also very good.

the soft matteresses, but my back is particularly sensitive

Was a cool touristy viking theme.breakfast was really good. Staff were freindly.

Construction was a bit annoying but i think was reflected in price. Restaurant across the way was a bit of a tourist trap. Food was subpar and expensive. Parking was our biggest complaint as one night we had to park a couple blocks away?

Great breakfast.

Extremely small room.

Really friendly and helpful staff, cottage was a good size for a family.

The hot tub was cold, (apparently had just been cleaned) but took ages to heat up so we gave up. Area was surrounded by building work. Also the most offensive key fob I have ever seen.

Location, breakfast, hot tub.

My room I looked parking lot and was close to Highway so it was a little loud, but nothing I couldn’t live with.

The check in was easy. Breakfast was good with a number of food choices served buffet style. There were waffles, oatmeal, coldcuts, cheese, breads, hard boiled eggs, fruit, like bananas and melons, pourable yoghurt, cucumbers, bell peppers served from 6 to 10 am. There was a hot tub and sauna which we did not use. It had a fridge (no microwave though.)

The bed situation. Maybe unique to our needs? There were two of us in one of the "cabins". It is said to sleep 5 and yes, there is a queen and 3 twins. The cabin has a loft with a slanted ladder that leads up to 2 of the twin beds. I think that if you have calm , older children that don't engage in horseplay, it would be fine. I didn't have those kinds of children so I would have been worried about that bed set up. The downstairs beds were a twin over queen situation. There was no safety rail on the twin, so if you have an active sleeper on the top bunk, you may find yourself with a falling object landing on you in the middle of the night. There was a memory topper on the bed-a big plus for us with older arthritic bones. The bed is pushed against the wall so can only be entered or exited from one side. Since I get up 2 to 3 times a night, I took the exit side of the bed. That means my husband who uses a cpap machine had the wall side of the bed. The side with no plug and no shelf. We had to put his cpap on the top bunk and rig up an extention cord to plug in on my side and got the tube to come down the wall side of the bunk-there was just barely room. In addition, there is a large and bulky ladder that leads to the top bunk which takes up almost half of the length of the bed so I would have to accordian my legs up to get out of the bed. The bathroom: heated floors are lovely! What is not lovely is the small corner shower, like a rounded on one side triangle. The doors close at the point at which the shower aims. It didn't leak (yet) but the sliding shower door kept coming off it's rails. My husband had to reseat it every time we used it. The hot water smelled like sulfer but that is from the geothermally heated water. Use the cold to make tea and coffee because it does not smell that way, There is a shelving unit that has an electric kettle for tea and coffee, but you can't use it without moving it close to the plug.

This was a fun viking-themed hotel. The room had a little more space than some of the other places we stayed while in Iceland, which was nice. Even though there was construction happening, it was still relatively easy to find parking. The breakfast was good and had long hours. We chose this location because it was between Reykjavik and the airport for our last night, and I'm glad we did. Thanks!

The viking vibe

Distant from the

Hot tub and breakfast

Showers were claustrophobic

Really cool Viking theme - they really went all out!

Our Viking-style cottage was on the tired side and the bunk beds weren't fastened to the wall, making them tip when my son climbed the ladder. The restaurant was also poor: again, amazing theming and the staff were great but the food was overcooked (lamb)/soggy (fish & chips) and expensive, even for Iceland. It was the final night of our trip and we were looking forward to our stay and a great meal but left disappointed. They were doing some construction work on the hotel during our stay so hopefully they'll give the cottages some TLC soon.

Very tasty and diverse breakfast

Very tiny room

The cottage was comfortable and unique. Breakfast was included which is a huge plus!

no coffee/Nespresso machine in the room

Great experience and amazing zing meal at the restaurant!

The hotel was absolutely incredible—like something out of a dream! I’ve truly never seen anything like it. Every detail felt like a masterpiece of imagination, and it completely elevated our time in Iceland. It wasn’t just a place to stay—it was an experience in itself. And the staff? Genuinely outstanding. They went above and beyond in every way, making us feel welcomed, cared for, and truly special. Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without it!

I booked a twin room in the themed main hotel for myself and my adult son, so we were surprised to be placed in a smaller, shed-like room with a double bed and a single bunk above. It wasn’t quite what we expected or ideal for two adults. That said, the room was still very nicely designed, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was truly unique. Most importantly, the staff were excellent—helpful, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. Their service helped balance out the initial disappointment.

The cottage is too small for 5 people.

Its a gorgeous little harbour with a lovely small shopping centre very close and the hotel has a hot tub although a swimming pool is close also. Busses to Reykjavik go from outside the shopping centre (2 minute walk). The hotel is warm, friendly and the staff very helpful. Its cosy and the breakfast is delicious.

It's a bit out of Reykjavik but some tour companies still pick up from there. You escape the concrete jungle of Reykjavik but the bus in takes 30 mins'ish and they go every 30 mins. If you hire a car it might be a great option.

Themed place, very interesting to walk around - like in a museum.

Booking said "landmark view", but the view was to the construction and somebody's yard. Construction started quite early in the morning - not unreasonably, but do not expect to sleep in. There was a balcony accessible to anybody from the corridor, which then allowed them to see into the room close to the window. People kept going there being loud and the door did not isolate any noise. The bathroom had only one dim light above the sink and you had to close the door while showering not to set the alarm off - so forget about seeing well when showering.

Seafront and central. Quirky Viking theme. Close to transport links. Reasonable breakfast though quite crowded.

Building work next door, drilling until 10 pm, pile of building materials outside the window, room cold on arrival.
