10/10 Exceptional

The best themed hotel we’ve ever stayed at.
This hotel is the place you want to stay at. It is outside of Reykjavik by 12 min, by taxi 20 min by public bus. The hotel is wonderfully themed with a great restaurant next to it.
The night manager, Karolina at the front desk is absolutely lovely person.
When we arrived at 2am Karolina warned us about getting restaurant reservations for Dec 31st & Jan 1st in the city because, as we found out, Icelandic people take there national holiday very seriously closing absolutely everything including the public busses by 2pm. We tried getting a restaurant reservation but to no avail. The hotel room has a fridge & the grocery stores were going to be open.
Every night we saw her at the desk & had long conversations with her. She’s was an absolute delight & deserves a raise. (Karolina the night desk person for hotel Viking and another part of the hotel sister setting.) I swear another hotel will snatch her up, because she’s that delightful.
Each room has a type of sauna. Our view was great of the harbor.
The breakfast was excellent as well to the hotel. You need to take photos of everything including the cave section of the breakfast area.
This hotel was perfectly themed & I would suggest this hotel to everyone.
Only one change I would do is having the restaurant as a buffet style during national holidays, depending on how many guest you will be staying. We don’t realize what will or will not be open in this country. Thank you again, do stay here.
