terrible, i would give no stars if it were an option. we were originally pleasantly pleased with the hotel as the cottage was unique. However one day, the hot water didn't flow and taking a cold shower in the Iceland winter is impossible. it took awhile for the staff to fix our problem. Worst of all, the beds were infested with bed bugs. We went home with terrible itchiness and scratching.

The breakfast (included) at this hotel was an amazing smorgasbord with salmon, toast, crispbread, cereal, oatmeal, fruit, juice, coffee, tea, salad, and many condiments.
The hotel is themed and somewhat touristy, but not in a bad way. The room was large, comfortable and clean with a roomy bathtub. The staff were pleasant and accommodated us when we decided to stay an extra night.
We really liked Hafnarfjörður due to its quaint and genuine feel. There were lots of shops, restaurants and cafés within walking distance and a bus stop going both to Reykjavik and the airport at Keflavik.
The nearby Hellisgerði park was delightful as was the Hafnarborg Centre of Culture and Fine Art, both free activities.response / report this review -

We got stuck during a storm in Reykjavik and most rooms were booked. We found the Viking Hotel. The one sort of good thing was the hot pot in the back. It was a small room with NO SOAP. Have you ever heard of a hotel room that does not provide soap? We paid about $300 for this room. We checked in at 9pm and left by 5am. It was pretty tacky but I kind of liked it. Think viking medieval times restauraunt and add a hotel and that is the Viking hotel. I would suggest anywhere else than this hotel mostly because they thought we were crazy when we asked for soap. They said we have no soap. A room about 10x10 feet for 300 dollars and no soap. . no thank you

I had the Viking Dinner set menu which was very good! The shark may have been a little small but it was nicely washed down with the 'black death' shot. Overall a very good meal!

Rooms are not that small. Fine actually beds aren't great but cleaning is good as is breakfast. While we are here the WiFi is really bad. Wouldn't be a problem if there was good 3/4g cell coverage but that's really bad too so leaves you stuck if you need to plan stuff. Also noise insulation is really bad, had to knock on next doors door cause they were having a lot of fun and sharing it with the entire floor 🐇🐇

We had a nice stay and their were many beds in a fun setup with a lot. Really cool setup with Viking rune covered art and repicka types.

This is a pretty cool hotel, especially if you are a visitor to Iceland. I've stayed here a couple of times. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are fairly small, but clean and tidy. The hotel itself is quite unique and historic with a definite Viking theme. There is a Viking "cave" at the back of the dining room that has to be seen. Right next door is a Viking themed restaurant that I believe is owned by the same people. For an all round Viking experience, stay at the hotel and eat in the restaurant.

The rooms are too small and need renovation. Some bathrooms are not tiled, but have linoleum instead. Cozy is definitely different. Fire safety needs improvement.
The owners are arrogant and not helpful at all.
If the dinner is part of your package, you will eat in a dark hall with the atmosphere of a waiting room of a railway station.response / report this review -

Randomly taking a bus connection through Fjordur, as one does, I noticed the bus wasn't running to my schedule at all on a Sunday, so rocked up here to ask for a beer and some shelter. Both were provided; the beer being every bit as cheap and delicious as one would expect in Iceland!

Great little B&B/Hotel staff are friendly and very helpful the rooms are not luxury but adequate (if you are in Iceland you are not here to sit in your room) the restaurant over the road serves great Icelandic food as well as a great burger if you do not want to try the local dishes. The breakfast available is good meats,cheese,fish,cereal and skyr. Free guest WIFI. Showers are nice and hot they do have a sulpher smell due to the water coming from the hotsprings but leaves your skin soft. Travel to Reykjavik is straight forward either the number 1 bus for 440Kr or taxi for 4000-5000Kr travel is 15-40mins depending on which mode of travel you take. The trips that you can book with your operator or hotel (northern lights, Whale watching etc) pick up and drop off outside the hotel. The surrounding area has shops and a few food places to visit. In all a great experience and a very warm welcome from Hotel Viking 🖒🖒🖒

It's very simple and no luxury but it was clean and the breakfast was not too bad. The hot water smells really bad, which is common is Iceland but at this hotel it was terrible. Other than that, no issues. Hot tub is really nice and I could even get a glimpse of the northern lights from it.
