The door was a little hard to lock and unlock

The breakfast was fine. They didn’t have a huge selection but it was enough.

We weren't aware that we could take advantage of the Viking village and surrounding countryside. Unfortunately we had already booked activities so missed out on what qas available.

The place was very good value. After a very long drive the cafe was much appreciated. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The only road to get to the cafe is long, and filled with potholes.

I loved being able to wake up and already be on the beach. We had to leave before breakfast started, so we were unable to take use of the free food.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This was, however, the most expensive accommodation on our Ring Road trip. While access to Vestrahorn and the Viking Village is a nice inclusion, in our opinion, the value didn’t quite match the cost - but Iceland accommodation is expensive. And of course, price depends on when you visit, supply and demand. There was construction underway, which didn’t bother us, just looked a bit messy getting to the room, perhaps it will feel a little more high-end when this is completed and more 'value for money'.

We stayed in a modern room in the new section, which was nicely decorated and a good size. The room was warm and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. Having access to Vestrahorn was nice, we captured some amazing photos and enjoyed wandering through the Viking Village, and on the beach for both sunset and sunrise, with only a handful of people around. Breakfast was varied and very good. The café also serves dinner, which we didn’t try, but given the breakfast, it is likely very good. Note, there are no other eating options once you leave Höfn, unless you self-cater, which given there are campervan sites in the car park area, there could be a shared kitchen facility, we just couldn't see it. Kettle in the rooms enabled a warm cup of tea before bed. Note: turn off at dusk can be missed, it's the last right before the tunnel - so once you see the tunnel, start looking for the turn off. There is a sign for the cafe, but it can be missed, as the tunnel draws your attention!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything was very clean, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent. The location was also very good and if you are lucky is a good spot to catch northern lights! We will definitely visit again!

My fiancée and I loved staying here! The location is amazing, it's very clean, and it has a great breakfast selection. It's right next to Stokksnes beach, where you also get free access to the area when staying here. Also, after checking out and driving an hour and a half south of the country, we realized we had accidentally taken the guesthouse key. I messaged the staff, and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. We were able to return the key to a nearby hotel instead of driving all the way back to the Vikingcafe. I couldn't recommend this place enough!

Our stay at the Viking cafe and village was great. The staff went above and beyond for us from the moment we arrived. The cafe was closed when we got there but they were nice enough to let us get some of the soup that was still there since we had been traveling all day. The rooms were perfect with an amazing view. When we were leaving after spending sometime in the Viking village and exploring Vestrahorn, we asked if they had water available and they filled all of our water bottles for us.

The front desk staff are very friendly and efficient. We booked 3 rooms with private bath; our check in was very smooth. Love the breakfast.

Loved this place, unfortunately didn’t really get enough time here due to itinerary. Comfortable rooms, great breakfast and exceptional facilities. It’s a bit out of the way but that is the beauty of the location and means more opportunities for seeing the lights (which we did!)

Wonderful stay at Viking Cafe. Extremely clean room, with comfortable beds, and separate bathroom. Great shower and had all amenities to offer. Kettle and coffee cups in the room which is great to have. Having access to the Vestra horn included in the price of the room, was a bonus and you could go in as many times as you liked. Breakfast was very good with a great variety. An excellent stay.

Not that many options to eat in the evening and quite expensive. A panini with soup is about it.

Comfortable clean room with a great view and coffee/tea making facilities. Excellent breakfast. Love that the outdoor lamp can be turned off to view the northern lights (my room looked west, but good view). Cool reconstructed viking village and nature reserve at walking distance.

I visited the Viking cafe last year, before the renovations started and loved the atmosphere of the place. Now it’s being extended I felt it had lost that homely feel. I can understand why it’s being extended due to its popularity and I’m sure it will regain its charm once everything is complete.

The location of the Viking Cafe is great for Vestrahorn and the Viking village. It’s also great if you want to see the northern lights as there’s plenty of dark areas. The staff are really friendly and managed to get us some soup even though we arrived just as they had stopped serving. The new rooms in the guest house were clean and just what we needed especially the comfy bed after a day of travelling.

Linda in the cafe was fantastic....she helped get us sorted out and into our rooms quickly upon arrival while managing the line of people ordering from cafe and buying tickets to the beach. I really liked her she was cool. The room was perfect and the beds were very comfortable. Huge room! Fantastic views and access to beach included with stay along with breakfast made it a great value. I would love to stay here again. Exceptional stay and exceptional staff interactions.

The access to the vestrahorn is restricted you get two passes free to enter if you are booking an accommodation in the guesthouse else its a pay to enter for the remaining.

If you’re looking for a magical stay at the edge of Iceland, the Viking Café & Guesthouse near Höfn is an absolute must. The rooms are cozy, clean, and well‑appointed, with comfortable beds that invite a good night’s rest. Some rooms offer stunning floor‑to‑ceiling patio doors and sweeping views of Vestrahorn, which make waking up here an event. The location is unbeatable — you’re right where nature’s drama unfolds, yet still with all the little comforts that make a trip relaxing. Breakfast is generous and varied — exactly the kind of spread you want before setting out to explore. Fresh fruit, pastries, skyr‑yogurt, maybe even waffles — all served in a setting where you can sip your coffee while gazing at rugged Icelandic landscapes.

The location was stellar! Although the room was modest, it was clear that they did everything possible to make it comfortable. The beds ensured a great night’s sleep, the window displayed a beautiful view, and the coffee/tea station in the room was greatly appreciated. The breakfast offered a varied selection of items to suit everyone. The staff was attentive and friendly. I would stay here again and again.

Nothing. Well, beer for sale.

This is a great value for those looking to see the natural/cultural/historical beauty of the Southwest Iceland. Staff is fantastic. This is not for those that have special needs/want to be pampered/think they are superior beings.

We've stayed at Viking Cafe a few times now and it's always a treat. It's perfectly located for seeing Vestrahorn (even though we had horrible weather which meant we could barely see it!). I love hotels like this in Iceland - cosy, comfortable, hospitable and friendly. The breakfast was lovely and the rooms have everything you need.

Great location, right by the ocean. Short walk to Viking village and beach. Breakfast was very nice. They are doing a number of renovations which will improve the experience. It's about a 20-minute drive to the town of Hofn.
