Hotel Viking

Camera e bagno piccoli

Construction on property made parking and finding our way inside difficult. Interior was dark and dated. Room was small and bathroom very small - tub was so high that it was difficult to get in and out of the shower and had to bend over backwards to get under shower head. Breakfast had limited options and no eggs. Coffee cups held about 3 Tablespoons of coffee.

El único punto negativo que le pondría es que la habitación era muy muy pequeña, pero para una noche está bien

Die Zimmer waren sehr klein, sodass wir leider keine Möglichkeit hatten, unsere Koffer auf dem Boden zu öffnen. Das Wasser hat wirklich sehr schwefelhaltig gerochen.

Trångt rum med 2 enkelsängar, de gick inte att ställa ihop. Den ena sängen var väldigt hård.
Hade poolen precis utanför fönstret så fick ha mörkläggnings gardinerna igendragna eftersom folk badade utanför.

I think the owner focussed on decorations and ambience but not on what's essential for a good hotel. The rooms (Standard Double) were very small for 2 people, there was little room left for bags. The storage and layout made organising clothes/opening bags a big task. The rooms are spartan otherwise and even the bathroom was like that of a cruise ship (or maybe the cruise ships have them bigger!). Only one soap for bath, shampoo and hand wash!
Then the walls were pretty thin, the beds creaked... I'm still scratching my head about what went into the owners/management minds when they made the hotel. If only they had also focussed on making a better hotel than an ornate one.
This was most un-icelandic property in terms of aesthetics, space & furnishing, we stayed at during our 2 week trip.

Das Restaurant war leider schon sehr früh zu sodass wir weit und breit nichts mehr zu essen finden konnten.
Und vom Stadtzentrum ist es dann doch etwas weit weg, un schnell, schnell doch weiter zu gehen.
Prüft gut die Öffnungszeiten des Restaurants vor der Anreise. Und holt bei Bedarf etwas aus dem Supermarkt.

Vorm hotel sind zu wenig Parkplätze aber neben der Gäste gibt es genug Platz.

Vi fick betala för pappersmuggarna för vårt takeawaykaffe.

The sun never really went down so they needed blackout shades in the cottage. It was very cold as my bed was next to the window and I slept in all of my clothes with hats and gloves with a full heat on my kids were upstairs in the attic area where the beds were and they were burning hot as heat rises. So we had two very different temperatures in the little cottage. As far away from everything, but we thought it would be a novel experience to be in a Viking hotel, looking back, maybe it might not be worth a drive out of the way of our plans, but if you are doing the sky lagoon, it’s a practical distance. I also didn’t like that we were jetlagged and wanted to check in an hour earlier. The room was already prepared, but they still charge us an additional €35 to just check in one hour early as if they didn’t already charge us so much for the cottage I think that should’ve been complementary in most hotels that is and I felt like they nickel and dime. Now that I know how expensive Iceland really is I probably would’ve stayed somewhere more more practical, even the property was super cute.
