Overall good stay. Room was very very small. Bed was small. The curtains really didn’t block out the midnight sun. Breakfast was really good with a lot of variety and seemed to be good quality. Overall didn’t find staff very friendly or helpful. Location was good if you have a rental car and it was a good base for day trips.
We loved the Viking theme! The Viking house was great!

Bathroom was very cramped and the water smelled of sulfur (due to natural reasons). Breakfast was good. Nighttime was not very quiet when we were there, found it difficult to sleep with the noise.

We had a cottage room with no comforters on the bedding in the loft
Fantastic hotel with exceptional staff! I would go back and stay there again. Excellent location and very quiet. Good options on the menu and great service.
The staff is friendly and the food good is very good, The young lady at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating. I had a great experience at Hotel Viking.
Very spacious room. Nice staff. The attached restaurant was very good. Our room had view of the bay,but the main road was outside our window. Still a good experience.
This place was very kitschy (in a good way) and the room was clean. We had to ask for towels and extra toilet paper several times. The breakfast was fresh and they offered a good variety. We had issues regulating the water temperature in the room which got extremely hot. There’s construction going on the outside, so it was a little messy. The adjoining restaurant was good and pretty affordable for Iceland. The hotel was one of the highlights of our trip due to its unique decor. I hope they don’t change that about the place it’s incredibly unique/fun!
Very Nice place to stay. The breakfast was very good.
