Nice hotel with nice staff. Decent breakfast for the price. Not very close to any shopping district but easily accessible through car. There were bus stops just outside of the hotel as well but we didn't use the local transit.

Iceland is gorgeous, but the weather can be uncooperative, so I chose Hotel Viking. I had a triple room and a side view of the water. There is a sauna, hot tub, and breakfast in the hotel and an amazing restaurant with lots of Viking artifacts ten steps away. So if the weather was terrible the entire time, you would still have an authentic Icelandic experience. Hotel Viking was even better than I expected in so many ways. Great staff as well, very accommodating!

The room we had (10) was tiny. My walk in closet is bigger than that at home. I travel to Europe often, so I am used to small rooms, and țhe room was smaller than any I’ve ever stayed in. Super cramped for two people with bags. The bathroom is the size of an RV camper or bus bathroom. Breakfast was minimal, but there was a waffle maker which saved it. We were not able to try out the hot tub and sauna because it closed at 10pm, about the time we returned to our room from sightseeing. I attempted to bring a coffee back to the room from breakfast for my girlfriend who was still sleeping and I was told that wasn’t allowed.

What’s not to like about all things Viking! The restaurant is top notch! You may even be serenaded! Our friend said it was kitschy but we respectfully disagree. Profound respect for Viking history and lore, we loved it! When I say “we” my wife and I! Great accommodations especially “the rooms of the gods”. Loved it all!

Small but comfortable room if you don’t have a lot of luggage. Very nice amenities great water pressure. Nice small bathtub but good enough for a quick soak. If you’re tourist and curious about the Vikings is a bit kitchie, but very fun. Missed the opportunity to eat at the Viking restaurant, but the breakfast was quite good.

Staff were amazing and accommodating with an early check in. Bed was super comfy. It was pretty quiet for the most part but I could hear the person in the room next to me snoring the whole night. Room was also warm with no air conditioning or window to open. But otherwise, would stay again! Breakfast had a lot of options and was yummy.

I am sure when it is full in the summer it will be less quiet. It was a great location as a base for our exploration and has loads of interesting Viking artifacts. Room was small but sufficient, breakfast was nice, they made us a sandwich we picked up the second morning because we had to leave to get to the airport before breakfast. Hot pool was great after a long day of walking and driving. Everyone spoke English really well. I would stay here again if I ever go back to Iceland!

The property definitely involed the viking ambience feel in the rooms and common areas. However, the family rooms were quite s m all with no adequate spaces to put suitcases. We lived out of ours for 10 days. All the beds were uncomfortable really need to upgraded. Just putting a foam top does jit f I rrect a bad bed.
