"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is perfectly located to be able to walk around the shopping and restaurant part of Reykjavik. The dormitories were perfectly adequate, though if you're not very limber, you might want to request a lower bunk and not an upper one. Bathrooms were very clean and lots of lovely hot water."

"Great place to stay for an early flight. We were only there for one night in order to catch an early flight from Keflavík but the room was clean, beds were very comfortable, staff was friendly, and the shared kitchen space was useful. We had a three person room with a shared bathroom and the bathroom was just shared with one other room instead of the whole floor which was nice. We would definitely stay there again."

10/10 Excellent
"The atmosphere was quite comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent featuring authentic local flavor. There was quite a bit of clutter on the outside due to construction. Overall, we recommend Hotel Viking and would stay there again."
