Hotel Viking, hotel in Hafnarfjörður

This Viking-themed hotel is located at the harbor in the seaside town of Hafnarfjordur. Humpback whales can sometimes be spotted in the harbor during winter.

Absolutely loved all the decorations and authentic to Icelandic / Viking culture. The restaurant connected to the hotel is a definite must! Absolutely amazing food and service! The room was smaller than we expected but we still had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay.

    We are use to very large rooms with kitchens in our hotel room. While we vacationed in Iceland we stayed at VRBO’s but we saw this unique hotel and had to stay here and experience it! Loved walking around the hotel and the use of hot tub and sauna !!!

    Lovely little fishing village.

    Lovely little fishing village. There is a couple supermarkets and some restaurants. There is a main bus stop 2 mins from the Viking Hotel which was so handy and the stop for the Flybus coach to the airport (approx £23 pp one way) was opposite the hotel which was super handy and you get a beautiful view of the harbour whilst you wait. We got off 2 stops early from Reykjavík one day and walked back to explore and there were some lovely sights on the way. It’s a really nice place that’s neat and tidy. Probably wouldn’t need more than half a day wandering round but it’s nice to see the town.

    Great hotel. Was given a room upgrade.

    Great hotel. Was given a room upgrade. The person at the reception desk was very helpful and recommended a great restaurant, A. Hansen, for dinner. Loved the shower head, felt like a personal waterfall. The room didn't have USB ports but fortunately I had a european plug adapter with me. The wifi was excellent.

    Such a cute town!

    Such a cute town! Small enough to feel cozy but also large enough to actually have restaurants and groceries! The whole town is very clean-like not a piece of trash anywhere. It’s so lovely & nice that it almost feels like it’s a movie set. we stayed on the water so the views were spectacular. It’s a short drive to Reykjavik so if you want to bustle of a city, you can have it in a few minutes. Its also a short drive to the blue lagoon so you can relax all day in the lagoon then make it back easily to Hafnarfjorour. Every person we met spoke English very well in the town so there were no communications issues. Pallet coffee shop is a lovely coffee shop with the friendliest staff and delicious bottomless coffee. Our first morning in town, we spent a couple hours just sipping coffee and talking with locals. Hotel Viking is cute. The rooms are nice and the staff friendly. We rented a car which made our stay very easy and everything in town was convenient.

    What an awesome place!

    What an awesome place! It was very conveniently located but in a nice and quiet residential area. The place was really clean and felt new; and it had everything you might need for a longer stay or a shorter one.

    Hafnarfjordur was a good central location for getting to/...

    Hafnarfjordur was a good central location for getting to/from the airport, Reykjavik town and the Blue Lagoon. There were a few nice restaurants nearby which reception told us about, Von Mathus and Krydd and we got takeaway from Dominoes which was also up the road from our hotel. We loved being near the 'World Class Gym' and got temporary membership.

    This was the worst place that I stayed in during my Icelandic vacation. Once we placed our bags in the room, there was no space to walk. My partner had to stand in the doorway why I packed my bag and then I did the same while he packed his. We set off the fire alarm why using the hair dryer. The shower was tiny and the shower curtain kept clinging to my legs. The outside noise echoes in our room. The photos on Bookings.com do not reflect what you get. Give this place a big miss.

    Incredible location on a mountain hill just outside of Hafnarfjörđur. Beautiful cabin with hot tub and fully equipped kitchen. Landlady makes sure everything is clean and we were supported where ever we needed. From the cabin, most of Icelands treasures are within reach by car. The glaciers, volcano, Reykjavik Harbour, Golden circle, blue lagoon and many more we visited on a maximum drive of just over 2 hours (most were far less). A great place to stay! Love to go back again.

    Economy room very basic--one pillow per bed, small bathroom. Room looked modern and was clean. Towels were nice. Breakfast spread was fantastic.--presented beautifully with much variety. Had dinner at attached restaurant which was convenient. Hotel will give you a bagged breakfast if you ask--sandwich, juice, protein drink, banana and sandwich. Saw the northern lights in parking lot.

    The location was in an excellent position to explore what Iceland has to offer. the Room itself was amazing for me and 2 friends with shops just down to road this location was great. the facilities in the kitchen were all there (Pans, Pots, Cutlery, Oven, Microwave, Fridge and Dish Washer) We honestly felt like this was one of the best locations we stayed in whilst in Iceland!

    We had two rooms. The larger one was lovely, had a corner window and comfy bed, but little to no wifi access. The smaller room was rather tiny but had good wifi. Breakfast was typical for Iceland, no extras. Staff was nice but the reception area was tiny and often clogged with people & bags. There's a lovely ice cream shop next door that stays open late.

    Thelma and her family are quite lovely.. the communication is easy and uncomplicated. The apartment is very close to Reykjavik Downtown and near to many places like the Nationalpark, volcanoes and geothermal areas. We didn’t miss anything and had a great time in Iceland. Thank you for being your guests.

    Apartment was really spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed. The washer and dryer was definitely a bonus! Me and my friends had a few movie nights and we really enjoyed the living room area especially the huge tv. Would definitely come here again if I were to visit Iceland.

    We spent 7 days in Iceland and this apartment was the best choice! It was clean, well equipped and easily accessible. Our host Damon was very kind and helpful, we could count on him at any time! The next time we visit Iceland, we will definitely choose this apartment again! :)

    This hotel had the most comfortable beds out of all we stayed at during our trip. The location was excellent for a less than half hour trip to the airport for an early morning flight. Check in was super easy, the room was spacious and immaculately clean.

    We arrived on an early flight and the employee onsite did everything she could to get us into our room early so that we could rest. The hotel was conveniently located near two grocery stores and Go Campers, where we picked up our camper van.
