Very disappointing stay. The cottage was extremely small and felt cramped. Breakfast was limited and lacked flavor. I was especially concerned about food handling — the smoked salmon appeared grayish and staff inspected it before still serving it. The eggs were kept in a container on the floor during service, which did not seem hygienic. When I politely asked for more waffle batter, the response from staff was surprisingly rude and confrontational. Overall, the service at breakfast felt unwelcoming and unprofessional. Unfortunately, not the experience we expected.

One towel per room. Don't dare to ask for an extra towel for the sauna! That's a firm 'no' - 'you can get a clean towel tomorrow ' was the answer of the person at the counter. Absolutely ridiculous!

Room was small tight fit for two people and luggage, beds were comfortable. Bathroom was really wet, the water from the shower soaks the entire area. The breakfast was filling but limited. Oatmeal, cereal, waffels, bread/crossants, spread, and salad bar with hard boiled eggs. Only 4 parking spots infront of the hotel but can park in the resturant parking next door but it did fill up one of the nights. And I had to squeeze into a place that was really a spot...didnt get a ticket.

Disliked: Amenities
The good: • Shower • Staff • Restaurant The bad: • Terrible breakfast. Very limited options, with hardly any warm food served during cold mornings. The overall selection was extremely poor. • Uncomfortable bed. The bed frame was strange, and the mattresses were the worst I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. • Poor room service. Dirty dishes were left in our room day after day throughout our entire one-week stay. • No in-room safe. • Inconvenient coffee/tea access. The coffee machine was kept locked in the back, making it difficult to get coffee, tea, or even hot water. • Blankets issue. The queen-size bed had two separate blankets instead of one proper duvet. Conclusion: this hotel is highly overpriced for the level of service and amenities provided. Do not rely on the breakfast, and don’t expect much luxury from Viking Hotel.

Check-in was friendly enough, but overall communication from staff was poor. We weren’t told anything about local transport, bus stops, attractions, or tourist maps (which we only discovered on our last day). Dining advice was limited to the hotel restaurant, and when we asked for a menu, none was available immediately. We were told about reduced hours on Boxing Day, but that was about it. The room was a major disappointment and not as advertised on the website. We were given a very small “cupboard” room, which we didn’t know existed. The double bed was pushed against the wall, making it impractical for two people. The bathroom was awful: the hot water smells strongly of sulphur (not mentioned on the website), the shower is tiny and floods the whole room, and the sink is barely usable. Walls are extremely thin — you can hear everything next door. Breakfast was poor with very limited choice and no cooked options beyond porridge or a waffle. Room cleaning only happens if requested, and even then they only provide towels, not proper cleaning. We stayed for New Year’s Eve but weren’t told the restaurant would close early, that buses stop running early, or that celebrations are mainly in Reykjavik. We felt let down, as NYE is meant to be a big event in Iceland. I’d happily return to Iceland, but I would not stay at this hotel again.
