Pros:

Cadre très ludique dans le thème viking, mais nous n'avons guère pu en profiter par manque de temps.

Cons:

Le lit de la mezzanine le long de la pente est vraiment pour un enfant, attention à la tête ! Mais heureusement, c'est du bois et oasis du béton

We had a great stay at the Viking Hotel and would definitely recommend it.
Pros:

They had a cottage that fit the 5 adults in my family. Breakfast was included and the staff was so nice. The restaurant was great! Only 15 minutes from Reykjavik. Convenient location - tours will pickup from hotel.

Cons:

The bathroom was small but fine for the 2 nights we were there. They are almost finished with their expansion and from what I saw it’s beautiful.

מקום נחמד אבל חדרים קטנים
Pros:

ארוחת הבוקר והצוות ששמח לעזור,

Cons:

החדר היה קטן, המקלחת הייתה פיצפונה והווילון במקלחת היה קרוב מדי ונגע בגוף של המתרחץ.
