A really lovely little place to stay with stunning panoramic views. Perfect location if you want to photograph the famous beach. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and warm and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

A simple breakfast is included and the cafe has a selection of drinks, sandwiches and soup available throughout the day but does close at 6. However Hofn the town is only 20 mins away in the car with a good selection of places to eat.

We were only in the café. But that was an amazing experience. They staff was extremely friendly. The toilets were clean and the food was good. They had a little mix up with one order but they were so sorry about it and gave us something for free as a sorry. I am extremely pleased with my stay here and can recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super clean bathrooms and showers. There was also a small outdoor kitchen. Since it’s winter the stoves were taken out but it was still an area I could use my over camper stove to cook in. The cafe had some really good muffins. The vestihorn Mountain View tickets were included in the camping cost. The lighthouse and seals seemed like a long walk and were a bit confusing since it was blocked off by a nato station but it was a great stay regardless. Also it was very empty since it was only us and another camper van since it’s winter

We had the entire block of unit to ourselves as we had 3 people. Staff was nice and polite and the rooms are spacious. Best of all is the location which is near to the major tourist spots we were visiting.

Breakfast spread was not so wide but it is sufficient for us to have a full breakfast.

Comfortable and value for money. Provides free access to Viking Village and Stokksnes as well. Friendly staff. We also caught the most amazing aurora 10 minutes drive from this accommodation.

Staying here, directly at Stokksnes Beach, is a highlight in itself. The rooms are tidy, clean and fairly modern. Breakfast is alright, the waffles are amazing. Friendly staff. You can’t go wrong if you really want to explore this area.

We had a wonderful stay at Viking Cafe & Guesthouse! The breakfast was absolutely amazing – fresh, hearty, and perfect to start our day. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. We especially appreciated how they took the time to explain what was around the area and how to access the nearby sights. We arrived a bit late in the evening and it was dark, but one of the team members kindly guided us personally to our room – a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the entire experience felt very personal and warm. Highly recommend to anyone traveling through this beautiful part of Iceland!🇮🇸
