Hotel Viking

Overview

Fancy channelling your inner Viking (minus the pillaging, obvs) in a hotel that’s got all the modern creature comforts? Then Hotel Viking is your longboat-sized answer! This 3.5-star gem offers a truly unique stay, perfect for explorers who want a bit of history and a whole lot of chill, all wrapped up in a super friendly vibe. It’s a cracking spot for anyone eager to dive into Iceland’s epic landscapes and culture without sacrificing a comfy bed and a good tipple.

Location

Nestled right on the waterfront in Hafnarfjordur, you’re basically a hop, skip, and a jump from the legendary Viking Village – seriously, it’s just a stone's throw away. If you fancy a dip in some geothermal bliss, the Sky Lagoon is a quick 15-minute drive, and Reykjavik Harbour is about the same. The bustling Laugavegur street and the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church are just under a 20-minute drive, so you're never far from the action. Your Icelandic adventure kicks off easily, with Reykjavik–Keflavik Intl. Airport (KEF) being your main gateway, roughly a 40-minute drive away.

Rooms

After a day of epic exploring, you’ll love retreating to one of the 42 cosy crash pads at Hotel Viking. Each room is your personal haven, complete with a flat-screen TV to catch up on your fave shows and complimentary Wi-Fi to brag about your jollies. You’ll find all the essentials like a shower, hairdryer, and an electric kettle for that essential cuppa, with daily housekeeping keeping things spick and span.

Food & Drink

Get ready to fuel your adventures at the hotel’s two delish restaurants. Fjaran Restaurant is on hand to serve up some proper local grub that’ll have your tastebuds doing a happy dance. And when you’ve worked up a thirst, the bar/lounge is the perfect spot to kick back with your favourite tipple and share tales of your Icelandic escapades. Best of all, you can kickstart each day with a complimentary continental breakfast, served fresh daily.

Sports & Entertainment

While we might not have a full-blown waterpark for the kiddos, Hotel Viking knows how to help you unwind after a mega day of sightseeing. Head straight for the hot tub and let those bubbles melt away any travel aches – it’s pure bliss, trust us. Or, if you prefer a bit of dry heat, the sauna is just the ticket for a proper chill-out session, leaving you refreshed and ready for whatever Icelandic magic awaits.
