“This harbor-front property in Hafnarfjordur leans into its Viking theme, offering a unique, culturally rich experience. I appreciate the complimentary breakfast, a welcome touch, along with on-site dining that extends the Norse influence. Its proximity to Reykjavik and attractions like the Viking Village makes it a strategically located base.”

delicious wafflesviking song

The breakfast had waffles that were delicious. The hotel theme incorporated a Viking song sung live at the table. I enjoyed it very much.

The room was quite loud and I could hear everything from other people and traffic.
