The staff was helpful and very nice. The cottage is very cute and breakfast is ok ( but no scramble eggs). Our only dislike is that the water has a sulfur smell so the room has a funky egg rotten smell after taking a shower. Also, they do not seem to fix the beds or change the towels, in Icleand unless you ask. Aside of the weird sulfur smell, it was a pleasant stay.

construction was going on, very loud and hard to sleep in the mornings. parking was very limited as well.

Cute Viking hotel right on the harbor

A Viking hall with a thoroughly modern room behind it I stayed in one of the newer rooms and it’s an easy A+. What Europe calls a double twin reads as a king to an American, and the room is freshly appointed with all the modern amenities — warm lighting, good linens, and a beautifully done bath with herringbone tile, stone vanity and a black vessel sink. The new section also comes with robes and access to the geothermal hot tub, and the sauna is still there, tucked in by the hot spring. Both are worth your time — don’t skip them. What drew me here was the setting. The Viking theme is the real thing: carved timber, turf roofs, dragon-head gables. That’s what separates this place from your typical hotel, and I mean that as a compliment. Reykjavík is the main harbor and very tourist-driven. Hafnarfjörður is an oceanfront town with real local character, and the bus makes the difference a non-issue — tap your card, about five dollars, in and out of the city all day. One thing that surprised me and shouldn’t have: the heat here is geothermal, straight out of the ground, and the tap water is the best I’ve ever tasted. Cold, crisp, clean — no filter, no bottle, just turn the faucet. And for anyone who’s heard about the sulfur smell in Icelandic hot water — there’s none of it here. The showers run clean. After forty years around kitchens and dining rooms, that’s the kind of detail I notice. If you want the sights without sleeping in the middle of them, stay here.

It was a really cool property to stay

We had a great stay!

A lot of construction going on with noise till about 9 in the night. Also, parking is a nightmare. Otherwise, it is a good place.

Great

Our check in went very well. The young lady at the reception desk was very efficient. Our room was a double twin. I would call the bathroom a wet bath. The shower floor is not raised, so you need to squeegee the floor after you have a shower. If you are looking for something with more room this would not be the room for you. We were unable to keep our suitcases open because there wasn’t room. For our purposes it was fine. This was just a one night stop before heading to the airport for an early flight. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast is included, but we had to leave before it was available. The staff were nice enough to make us a couple of very tasty sandwiches for the road. The hotel is located roughly a 1/2 hour from the airport, which made it convenient for us. I would definitely stay here again. The reason I only gave it a good rating is the parking is a bit of a problem. At the moment there is construction in the parking lot and after you check in, if you can’t find a spot right by the hotel you have to back out or try and turn around in a very tight spot, because more parking is provided next to the restaurant next door.

The cabin was clean and we had a great sleep. The buffet breakfast was great. The stay was lovely, only issue was that there was a lot of debris in the hot tub water.
