"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is perfectly located to be able to walk around the shopping and restaurant part of Reykjavik. The dormitories were perfectly adequate, though if you're not very limber, you might want to request a lower bunk and not an upper one. Bathrooms were very clean and lots of lovely hot water."

Top Hafnarfjordur Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here on our final night of a two week trip to Iceland. It was the most amazing place to stay and a great way to end our trip. There is so much to see and it was an incredible vibe for myself and my two adult boys (early to mid twenties). The lady at the front reception was amazing, super friendly and helpful. When she found out we'd be catching a flight early in the morning and unable to make it to the breakfast she suggested and arranged to have sandwiches and coffee ready for us for when we were leaving. So thoughtful and appreciated. We had dinner in the restaurant the night before leaving and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great food and drinks! Hot pool and sauna were amazing. Thanks for a great stay!"
