Top Hvalfjarðarsveit Hotel Reviews

Hotel Viking

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay, staff and facility were great."

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for 8 total days, and it was all around a great experience. The breakfast was among the best I've had at hotels, and we frequented Le Kock restaurant and bar over the week. It's a quick walk from many other restaurants and shops, and it's across the street from Bus Stop 4 and a doable walk from Bus Stop 5. The staff was very helpful, and we loved the easy locking lockers where we stored our luggage after check out but before we left the area. We were also able to get early check in for about 80 euros, which is of course based on availability and not guaranteed. We stayed in early October, which is not in a high demand tourist season, so your experience may vary."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean room, excellent and efficient system, lovely staff, ideal location. Breakfast basket was brought the evening before. If you prefer fresh coffee and pastry, I would recommend not booking breakfast and heading out to local cafes instead. Other than that we had a perfect stay. Couldn't ask for more."
