Vinland Hotel and Lounge

We spent two nights at Vinland Hotel and Lounge and really enjoyed our stay there. To be honest, it wasn’t our first choice do to some mixed reviews I read online. But it was the right choice for us. The location is great right on the edge of downtown and walking distance to everything. The staff was A+. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little dated, but clean and rather spacious. It is also dog friendly, which was important as we were traveling with our pup. It isn’t at all luxurious, but it was nice. We found it to be a good value and would certainly stay there again.

Great place to stay and super modern! Front desk staff was SUPER nice and gave great recommendations to visit! No need for a car since this hotel is within walking distance to pretty much everything in Solvang within a few minutes! Parking was also super easy as they have plenty of spaces in their parking garage! I honestly loved the self serve cold brew coffee on tap in lobby and it was FREE!

Our stay was fantastic! The price was great, rooms look modern and were very clean, and the service was awesome! The location of the hotel is pretty convenient, with all notable things to do (and a store) within a few minutes' walk away. Parking is the floor under the lobby and covered, and we got a voucher for the nearby breakfast spot (Olsen's) by booking through Expedia—the pastries were great! Would recommend!

The hotel was very accessible for our daughter on a wheelchair. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Overall, great. The pool was clean too and so the spa. The beds were spacious and comfortable. The fridge was a perfect for our daughter’s medications and treatments. It was very good, the location was great too since it was also close to restaurants and gift shops.

They tell you you’re getting this VIP experience, but it’s really your average older hotel with pretty updated looks. It’s nice, not bad (If you don’t care about super luxurious hotels). The beds were great, loved the balcony, the parking, the location just at the edge of the main street, and that it was dog friendly. However, the tv often stopped working, the shower door configuration doesn’t allow you to turn it on without getting soaked in freezing cold water, and the air conditioner is super loud and the fan turns on and off constantly, making it hard to sleep as a light sleeper. The front desk staff didn’t acknowledge me until I got their attention every time I went in. Lastly, there was no breakfast provided, only coffee. I would expect breakfast or room service somewhere that says I’m “VIP”, especially since they have a bar/restaurant inside.

My stay was very good overall. It's a smaller hotel but the location and service is great. The staff very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and my bed was super comfortable. If you can do with limited tea, less than adequate mirrors and lighting for makeup application while getting ready for a special event, then you're in a great place!

The staff team are friendly and helpful. They have that welcoming spirit. ||Our room was clean! Which is the best thing ever. Wish I would have took pictures to share. Free parking always a plus. Well at least for me.||||They had some locations of activities to get a discount! I don’t know about you but that’s a danish and coffee to enjoy with the savings.

We had such a an amazing time here! So much so we extended our trip another night. The rooms are so clean and spacious, very secure for our dog too! We also loved the V Lounge and AJ the bartender is the best!! The pool (slightly heated) and Jacuzzi are so clean. Can't wait to come back!

Laura Teresa, day shift. Ava & Bianca night shift Both of them were a pleasure and very kind & attentive at the front counter were very welcoming and kind & Most Of All Understanding about our situation we encountered and they went and Made it right. -The most comfortable bed we would ask for, pretty balcony. We loved the cleanliness in the rooms. Customer satisfaction 10/10 Understanding 10/10 Lounge 10/10 Under ground parking 10/10 Clean and Tidy 10/10 Air conditioners 20/10 All smiles around here and great location for the city. City has great restaurants

We booked a 1 night stay in the double queen superior room over Christmas Eve and really enjoyed our stay. I absolutely love that this hotel is pet friendly and have an amazing lounge with great drinks and food. Also one of the few places that are open late :) The front staff was incredibly sweet despite a small hiccup during check in. We actually arrived at 1:30pm and was hoping to be able to check in sooner since we just completed a long drive - our room wasn't ready yet but we were able to do the pre check in out of the way. We decided to get a couple drinks and snacks in the area and came back around 4. Check in is at 3pm and our room was still not ready. Slightly disappointed; we then opted to wait in the lounge. 2 hours later we were able to check in. The front desk were very apologetic and gave us a late check out as well as waiving the pet fee. Our room was nice and spacious. The only complaint I have is the drainage noise but other than that our stay was fine. Will definitely book again in the future.

I thought for 4 days before posting this review. My predominant reasons for thinking so very hard about it are: 1. Thor, Rick and Raquel. These team members really did make our experience worth while. 2. I don't give "ok" reviews lightly. We arrived 2 hrs before check in-Thor was so very kind to let us park and begin touring the community without worrying about traffic or parking. Raquel was in the lobby tidying up. When I spoke to her, she was ecstatic to show me where the coffee/sugar and other items were. This was so welcoming and set the tone for the visit well. That evening we met Rick. He's a delight to interact with and definitely loves his job!!! So, why 3 stars you may be asking? Valley view means looking at trees and not the street. But the trees are dense and there is nothing visible through them. The heat went out on night one. We woke up to a room so cold I could not move. Not a problem. Thor came in, showed us a trick to reset the heater and we once again had a warm room. Come back that evening...no heat. Reset. Wake up next morning to no heat. So...I tell the front desk there's a problem. Young lady says, oh I didn't know you had a problem. I'll get you a space heater. Return that evening. No space heater. So, we jacked the heat up to 76 and let the room boil so that when the heat "malfunctioned" over night we wouldn't freeze. This was really a big part of the end of my day. I know a hotel is a place to shower/sleep but come on. Figuring out how to "out think the malfunctioning heater" is not what I expected for my romantic holiday to Christmas town. The last is also for management. The only furniture in the room was our bed and a desk chair. No table. No couch. When I woke up before my husband I sat awkwardly in the bed playing on my phone. When we reheated leftovers for a meal, we sat awkwardly at the foot of the bed. When we watched tv or put on our shoes. You guessed it, we sat at the foot of the bed. These experiences felt forced ...like the person who designed the room said "no one actually spends time in their room while on vacation. All they need is a shower and bed". Though I do not disagree with the overall thought, as a guest, you are in the room for more than sleep. People drink coffee and check messages. People eat meals and (not in my case) have children who want snacks. A bed and a desk chair is really just being cheap in your furniture. Plain and simple.

Came here for a 1 night stay, and it has everything we need! Perfect location for walking through the downtown area, which makes it very convenient. The most important factor to me is cleanliness, and the room is very clean. It looks recently updated, and the staff are very kind and helpful. We have our small dog with us on this trip, and were happy to hear that this location is pet friendly (there is an additional fee, but not an exorbitant one). We stayed in a queen room.

Great place! To me great location, because it's in Solvang mix but not at the same time! Best Key Lime Pie martinis ever made by Rick! Their V lounge is great. My room is 2nd floor with a Valley View / balcony. Open the door and can hear the birds chirping away. Staff is also very accommodating and sweet! oh also shower pressure was amazing

Brought family from out of the country for a quick night in Solvang. The staff was great, especially the young Irish looking girl with the septum piercing (lose it please : ) ) Bartender Rick is a master mixologist! Stumbled in for a quick nightcap glass of wine and ended up drinking about 20 martinis within our whole group! Our favorite was the Mexican Bees Knees martini with jalapeño infused tequila, fresh ginger, lime, honey, and a splash of Mezcal to give it a nice smokey flavor. So good!!! The hotel is a great location, walking distance to the city center.

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to Rick the bartender, who is the most knowledgeable, cool, awesome guy. He always gives us the best recommendations for things to do and restaurants to try. He tells great stories. And he makes amazing drinks! We are a group of 9 women, and he managed to keep us and the rest of the bar both happy and entertained. Thank you, Rick!

Stopped by the Vinland Lounge and the bartender, Rick, had so many specialty drinks. Tonight I tried the Key Lime Pie Martini and it did not disappoint!!! Thank you, Rick!!!

Loved this place! Huge shout out to Bianca who made our check in so smooth. She was polite and quick and answered everything before we even asked. Thor was also super kind and always smiling when we came by. Sabrina was a life saver! She gave us so many good recommendations and history. Everyone here was positive and happy. The beds are comfy and the hotel location is very walkable to all the shops and restaurants in solvang. They have free lobby coffee and a small bar on property. The parking was free and water was too.

Rick. Do I need to say more? If you have not been to the Vinland lounge for one of Rick's great cocktails or had the opportunity to chat it up with him. Do. This has become one of my go to spots in Solvang. It started when I heard about their Mind Haze but I keep coming back and bringing friends and family. The food is amazing also, have some meat balls and you won't be disappointed

This was such a quality find for a somewhat last minute reservation! On a whim, my friend and I decided to visit Solvang/SLO area. We drove to solvang on a Thursday night, arriving at the hotel just before 10am. Staff were courteous, polite and gave us coupons for wine tasting and breakfast the next day (the breakfast was received through the website where I booked the hotel). The next morning, we stopped back into the lobby for coffee before exploring the town. Every single staff member who we came into contact with were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was also very clean and per their website, recently upgraded (2020). If you're passing through town or looking for a place to stay, I recommend Vinland. It's right on the edge at the beginning of the village, so you can easily loop through and end right back at the hotel!

We had a very nice overnight stay. Check-in was quick and efficient, and the front desk staff was very friendly. Room was spacious with comfortable beds, and there was a neat partial open concept, where the bathroom sink and mirror were essentially part of the living area. The shower/tub and toilet are in their own room, which was a little cave-like. Shower pressure was super-strong, which caused some problems as the water easily splashed onto the bathroom floor, so make sure the curtain is completely closed. AC was effective, but a little noisy. Wi-fi was decent, but we oddly had to sign back in every time we came back to the room (rather than the network remembering our devices for at least 24 hrs). We really could've used more electrical outlets; consider bringing your own powerstrip or a charger with multiple ports if you have a bunch of things to plug in. The fridge did not have a freezer section (which we had hoped for, since we had an icepack for our cooler) -- the front desk directed us to the bar, who cheerfully agreed to store the icepack in their freezer until we needed it. There's also a microwave and Keurig machine. No in-room safe. Plenty of complimentary covered parking, and there are two 12A Tesla chargers (which charge at about 6 miles/hr), first come first served. We didn't have time to take advantage of the pool or hot tub. The pool is small but looked well-maintained -- best for cooling off and playing with the kids rather than swimming laps. The hotel is located at the west end of the main downtown area -- not in the very heart, but the downtown area is small enough that it's still an easy walk to reach all areas. Overall, this is a very good hotel choice. The issues I mentioned above were all pretty minor in the big picture.

My family and I were extremely disappointed with our stay. We were looking forward to our stay and thought that the hotel would be wonderful based on the reviews and pictures. We were very wrong! The hotel was dirty, smelled like poo, and the heater was very loud. Our room was so bad that my daughter kept begging for us to leave and find another hotel. Do not stay here! Pictures on the website are very deceiving!

I recently visited Solvang for the first time and explored different options for our stay. The hotel we chose was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with a cozy fireplace adding to its inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, the front desk experience left much to be desired. While the person ahead of us received friendly and engaging service, we barely received a smile or any conversation. However, we shrugged it off and headed to the coffee station that offered refreshing cold brews. As for the rooms, they were fairly basic without any extravagant amenities. I'm thankful I found a deal on Hotel Tonight for this room, as the full price may not have been worth it. The highlight of our stay, though, was the bartender. He was the only person in the hotel who was genuinely nice and engaging. He even crafted delicious holiday cocktails for us, making our evening more enjoyable. While exploring the town, I didn't come across any other accommodations that seemed significantly better than Vinland. Overall, the hotel is a 3 1/2 star, with cozy decorations and a friendly bartender being the highlight of our stay.

The room is so hot I'd rather be in Las Vegas at 116! My gosh it's horrible !!! The person at front desk routed us to the wrong area, and as a recent surgery patient - wondering around the hotel was terrible!!!!

Newly built hotel, nice hotel. There's a lounge and 24/7 cold brew behind the front desk, front desk service was great. I love the king room, very big and comfy, it feels like a relaxing hotel I ever stayed at. Totally recommended

The Mrs. booked this hotel because of the reasonable price. It was a decent room. A little small but it has all the amenities needed. We didn't stay in the room much, but it was clean and convenient to all the downtown area. We walked to several businesses from our hotel. The only bad thing was the TV wifi. It kept freezing and going out but it wasn't a game changer, since the Mrs. and I listen to music more than watch TV. They have a nice lounge/bar area and pool and spa area. When we do take another trip to Solvang, we will most likely book again. Thank you to all the staff for a pleasant stay.

What a lovely little place to stay for the weekend! Vinland is located on the west end of the Solvang's main road, which is a quick walk to literally everything. Check in was a breeze, the staff were so welcoming, and we arrived in our suite to a lovely handwritten note of grats with a bottle of wine for our anniversary. Let me tell you, the suite was perfect, with a lovely separate living room, and balcony with a nice view of the valley. The bed was SO comfy, like can we get one sent to my house now- such a good nights sleep. What I loved most about the hotel was the cold brew bar- this cold brew obsessed lady was in literally heaven! The V Lounge, is just a delight- with a great happy hour, and the food is awesome. They have a great wine list, but the bartender also has some incredible drink specials he whips up. MUST try the meatballs. The pool was perfect on this unseasonably hot weekend! I love the ample parking, the views from the back of the hotel, the easy walking to everything, and that they have such a wonderful lounge on site. Plus they had fresh apples in the lobby all day, for a nice snack before you wine and dine yourself silly :) We will definitely be back!

My family and I unexpectedly ended up at Vinland after a late notice cancellation at another hotel. What I thought was going to ruin our vacation turned into one of the best trips I've ever had and it's all due to the amazing people who work here! Serenity at the front desk was a complete sweetheart, always so friendly and kind to my little girls whenever she saw them. While we were there they even offered a Saturday movie night which was awesome because it gave us a kid friendly activity to do as a family. Rick the bartender has such a great personality, everything you want in a bartender, wonderful guy! The location is at the start of everything so you wont feel like you missed anything if you are up for walking around the town! Highly recommend!

There were several pet-friendly hotels in Solvang recommended by BringFido, but Vinland Hotel & Lounge caught my eye because of its 5-bone rating and affordability. A couple of things to take into consideration are their nightly resort fee and one-time pet fee for $50, but their parking is free. I booked a one-night stay for a room with a king-size bed, and I was highly satisfied with the overall stay. Our Iggy acclimated to the place as well. I thought the hotel had a great location. Even though Vinland was located at the start of Mission Drive, all the Danish restaurants, bakeries, and other attractions were so close and easily accessible by walking. The staff was great. The gentleman who helped us with checking in was very friendly and helpful when we asked about good restaurants for dinner. We took him up on one of his recommendations, and he did not lead us astray! Our room was clean and huge. This was perfect as my dog had plenty of space to roam around. The bathroom shower was very nice. It looked newly remodeled. Loved the waterfall shower, which had the right amount of pressure and heated up quickly. We had a Keurig, microwave, mini fridge, and safe. At first, I thought we were missing a closet, but I realized that the wall by the bathroom was opened up to create space for storage and hanging clothes. We used this open space to put our dog's food and water bowls. I didn't mind that our room didn't have additional furniture like a lounge chair. We had a decently big balcony with patio furniture that made up for it. Candidly, there were a couple of areas for improvement, such as the lack of available outlets, the sink area needed towel hanging bars, and they readily had body and hand towels but no wash cloths. We couldn't find the smart TV's remote. We had the remote for the cable, but we wanted to log into our streaming accounts to watch TV. Not the end of the world, but we thought it was odd that this remote was missing from our room. On the flipside, I don't think I ever had a hotel room that had full-blown Comcast! So we weren't at a complete loss and were able to catch up on our premium channel shows.

Rick Sly is one of the most amazing bartenders my husband and I have ever met. He truly has passion, a love for the craft, and made our evening!

Solvang is such a cute town to walk around, eat and shop. We wanted to stay overnight and I found this hotel through Expedia. We had the loft with three queen beds. The hotel is within walking distance to the main touristy area of Solvang. It's just a two to three minute walk to Paula's Pancake house and Olsen's Danish bakery. The hotel lobby is very clean and it has a lounge. We parked in a parking garage and parking is free. The hotel rooms are very spacious and clean. I really enjoyed the rain shower head in the shower. There are two televisions one in the loft and one downstairs. This room is perfect for a large family.

Great location, great atmosphere and great service. Hung out in the lounge and was taken cared by Rick... What a great guy!!! So friendly, down to earth and just a great guy. Good conversations in between him taking care of the other guests. Our girls were a able to stay online and have dinner at a table near us as we sat at the bar. We don't usually have the girls on devices constantly but at times we allow them to use tablets just to get a break from keeping them from being at each others throats. Good night! Good drinks! And most importantly no need to leave and just chill! Thanks Rick! You're a good man!

Stayed for one night on a Sunday. The hotel is dog friendly, you can book any room and just pay $50/per stay. Easy (free!) parking underneath the hotel. We got a regular king room and it was really big, almost to the point of it feeling like wasted space. It included a mini fridge, microwave and free water bottles. There is a lounge and bar adjacent to the lobby that looked nice but we weren't able to take advantage of it since we had the dog (they are not permitted to be left unattended in the room) and complimentary hot coffee and (pretty good!) cold brew on tap around the corner from the checkin desk.

The stay at Vinland Hotel & Lounge was not as comfortable as we would have liked it to be. At the outset, when checking in at 4.05 pm (check in time is 3.00 pm), it was a slow process and the reception was not still sure if the designated room was ready to move in. We waited for a while. There was a levy of a resort fee (on an all paid stay booked through Agoda, which Agoda is gonna take care, now). We had requested on the booking confirmation for a room where there was lower noise. The room assigned was right next to the corridor door and super noisy all through. The room AC compressor was switching off n on all night and extremely noisy, so sleep quality was very poor. Two of the lamps in the room were not functioning, WC had leakage .. uff so many things amiss. The best thing I can think of was the courteous and helpful service staff and comfortable bed. Staff at the reception/check-in was quite stiff. Over all not too great an experience, so sadly, won't recommend the place.

Other than not being able to check for an hour past check in time, it was a nice place to stay. Especially liked the underground parking.

I checked in on a Tuesday afternoon. I had to change rooms to accommodate an additional person. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The bar was very modern and clean. There was a happy hour. However, your tab cannot be transferred to your room. You must pay at the bar. They had a Coffee available at the front desk. Our room was spacious. The water pressure from the shower head was great. The hotel Is walking distance to everything since the town is small. However, the room, a suite, wasn't perfect. Paint was peeling in different locations of the room, including the bathtub. One door knob was secured/repaired with a round gold metal plate. Another door know had a hole. The tub was slow to drain. The street view was a bush and retaining wall. The tv in the bedroom was awkwardly next to the widow. The bathroom lacked shelves or drawers. In the bedroom I could here the family talking next door. For some reason there were a group of flies flying around our front door, it was annoying. The parking garage was limited to 6 feet in height. I saw vehicles illegally parked in the handicap zone making it difficult other vehicles from allowing their passengers from exiting. I don't know what the other rooms are like but I wouldn't pay to upgrade to a suite.

This hotel is one of the top rated ones that show up on my Expedia search. The price is pretty up there, more than I expected to pay a couple weekends ago. We booked it for around $250 a night. Not including the $15 resort fee per night. But I was pleasantly surprised that the room was quite spacious. We booked a double queen. There was a lot of space between the beds and the TV which was really nice. The bathroom is clean and modern. The beds are comfortable. The pillows were not as soft and firm as I had hoped. My head kind of sunk right the middle. They had a couple of Tesla chargers in one of the parking garages, which was helpful for my friend's Tesla. Overall, I enjoyed staying at this hotel. Just really wish it were a little cheaper without Resort fees.

Planned a trip to Solvang spontaneously in a weeks amount of time, and the Vinland Hotel was one of the only "newly renovated" hotels that were available to book. I have been coming to Solvang for years and have never heard of it, thought it would be a nice experience, but we were severely disappointed. I should have read the reviews before booking, but it became obvious this was previously a 2 star hotel - got a hint of new paint, new flooring, and a lounge with only booze & 5 items for small bites, and all of a sudden it became a 3+ star hotel. Its blatantly obvious they put 90% of their "renovations" on a surface level aesthetic way. PROS: Parking was 5/5 for us, upon pulling in we thought it was just a few outside spots but we drove down the hill on the side and they have 2 covered parking structures with an ample amount of space. Its also a very short walk to the main village area. Although its located at the end of the strip, its a 5 minute walk to downtown. We parked our car on the first day and walked all weekend, it was definitely a plus being from LA where you have to drive everywhere. The beds are very comfortable. However the pillows, not so much. I think we're just spoiled with foam pillows at home.. CONS: The check-in desk is situated in such an awkward place in the corner of the room with a big living room like seating area right in the middle. There's no obvious way to stand in a line, everyone is pretty scattered around. We wrapped around the couches and just hokey-pokeyed around until we got to the front of the line. Get in the elevator to go up to the 2nd floor facing the "countryside". Look down & the building safety permit has expired in July 2023. We get to the second floor and we're outside before we have to go through another door to get to the rooms.. and once you step out of the elevator to the outside - especially at night, you're left in the darkness because the overhead outside lights don't work. We get to the room, and the layout is just awkward. To the right side of the door is the bathroom sink with a two-sided mirror, I'm assuming the other side of the mirror was supposed to be a vanity but there isn't one. The toilet & shower are in their own separate area with a door. The shower only has one flimsy curtain and no inside curtain to keep the water in. I took a shower making sure the curtain was closed all the way and when I turned the water off to step out, the bathroom had flooded extending out of the door, and onto the carpet in the room by the door. The fan inside the bathroom doesn't work, even though there's two switches clearly on, so all of your steam will pour out into the room. - And I guess the builder had some fun installing the sink because the hot & cold indicators are reversed. When on, its correct but the color coding is on the wrong sides. The air is extremely loud when turned on. The whole room sounds like a jet engine is taking off. Our balcony view was overgrown trees with a hint of a view of the nearby valley. The in-room wifi doesnt remember you when you come back to your room like it should for 24hrs atleast on your device. Constantly have to log back in when you come back to the room. The walls are EXTREMELY THIN. If you're a light sleeper like we are, you'll hear every footstep, every laugh, every conversation, every dog bark, every child screaming bloody murder, and the housekeeping talking extremely loud in the hallways in the early morning hours. We didn't get one peaceful night. There seems to be no regard for a peaceful stay. Bring earplugs if you plan to stay here. To top it off, there are NO DINING options at this hotel. And they know it, and they'll judge you from the front desk twice over for bringing takeout food to your room. The V lounge in the hotel has a 3 page menu for cocktails & a half a page of 5 items of "small bites". No entrees. Arriving Friday night after a 3 hour drive, we don't want olives and flatbread as dinner, we opted to order takeout from a nearby restaurant and have it delivered. My bf went to pick up the order from the driver downstairs in the lobby and he said the front desk gave him judgemental looks because of it. Overall, this stay quickly became a nightmare of sorts. The pictures online are deceiving, and this hotel needs many more upgrades to even be considered a decent stay. A Hilton hotel would give you much more than whatever one coat of paint was supposed to do here.

Great stay at Vinland but honestly this review is about the lounge and bartender Rick! He was incredible and professional. A true artist of mixology when it comes to delicious cocktails and the presentation was stupendous. His espresso martinis were some of the best I've ever had!

Booked a last minute trip to Solvang after Christmas during the holidays so everything was booked and I had only a few options left in Solvang. The pictures on hotels.com looked great and Vinland was in a convenient location. However, after I got checked in I realized the layout of the room is very weird. We got the two queens but there was almost no furniture so had a huge empty space between the bed and small TV and table area. They really should have added a sofa or another small table to make it feel homey. There were no good places to sit except for two chairs I would say are like the ones you find at conferences. Service is poor here as I called and messaged the hotel about having a crib or pack n play in the room but when I checked in the lady said "oh I don't know if it's there. Go look and call if it's not". Odd there's no record but it was late which is why I wanted everything in the room. Of course there was no crib so I called and waited 30min for one to arrive. Had some trouble setting it up so called again to front desk to ask for help and extra bedsheet and blanket. Called a 3rd time because we found out the heater is broken so they sent someone. Then called a 4th time since I forgot to get extra towels and at this point the lady in the front desk said they're busy and this would be the last time they can help us!! What? I've never had that response and it was 9PM so not sure how they could be so busy. It was extremely rude and I don't feel we were calling for fun. As for the broken heater, we were on the first floor so it was pretty cold. The guy who came couldn't fix it so he gave us a tiny space heater and the first night was miserably cold. In the morning I called again to have someone look at it who seemed to reset something and it was working. I come back at night and it's broken yet again! Called once more and the guy said it's just broken and he'll bring me another space heater since I said we were freezing the night before. Horrible experience here with bad service! Definitely would not recommend coming here if there are other options. Location is nice but there's other hotels in the same area.

Nice clean hotel room. Our room has a view of residential houses and mountains. Great coffee. They even have nitro cold brew coffee, very smooth. Good location - within walking distance to the village Parking garage is below the hotel - excellent to allow the car to stay cool. Reasonably priced

The Vinland Hotel is walking distance to everything Solvang. It's very modern, clean and comfortable. Easy check in and parking is ideal. Rick the bartender at the lounge is Absolutely Pleasant. He can make any desired drink and listens to what you prefer. The ambiance is perfectly coupled with Rick's welcoming personality. Stay at the Vinland or simply for a phenomenal drink with Rick.

Stopped in here after we got kicked out from the recent renovated Hadsten House. From their recent renovation, they are now not dog friendly. So we shot across the street to Vinland. They were very accommodating. Great happy hour and friendly. The lounge was very nice. We had a great time and our little pup enjoyed the calm quiet vibe. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a happy hour cocktail. I also look forward to staying here in the future.

Booked this place for our anniversary weekend. The pictures on the website make it look nice, and the location was right in the mix on the main drag of Solvang. Billed as a "luxury hotel" in the framed newspaper write-ups in the lobby. Here's what we got for our $750 for two nights: 1.) Got to our room and realized that, other than a small desk with a microwave that took up half the space, there was no furniture. Nowhere to sit other than the bed. Wires hanging out of the side of the TV, with no credenza or chest of drawers to put anything. A half-built open space (no door) with a small closet rod for your clothes. (see attached photos) The website states: "Service, Style & Sophistication. Every room in Vinland has been expertly designed to provide creature comforts with class." (Triple alliteration score!) lol 2.) Went downstairs to talk to front desk and the guy was in the back working on a burrito; when he came out, there was a big piece of it stuck in his beard. I asked about there being no furniture, and he just shrugged his shoulders and admitted, yeah, that's just the way it is. 3.) The next morning, I asked to have our bed made, and the woman gruffly asked us how long we were staying (2 nights), and then said "they don't offer that service for that length of stay." 4.) That afternoon we thought we'd check out the "V Lounge" and some staff had commandeered the bar with a big computer monitor and piles of paperwork. Felt like we had walked into someone's home office. Not super inviting. Or classy... ÷ [ I could go on, but I think you get the idea. We travel a lot for work and HERE'S THE THING -- all of this is acceptable, if not expected at a Motel 6 for $150 a night. Not for a place that charges over $300 a night that makes the claims it does of luxury and class. To be fair, I did get a call from the a customer service representative about the furniture (She said "they were looking into buying more furniture" lol) and offered to have some chairs and a table brought up.

Vinland was a nice little hotel , they accommodated everything we asked for . Their lounge area has happy hour ! Heated pools . Fresh coffee in the lobby area hot and cold ! The rooms didn't have much furniture tho . We had three rooms so we brought all of our chairs into one room so we could have enough seats to sit on.. no tables or anything inside . Every room does come with refrigerator and microwave tho that was a plus ! Will definitely book again if we come back to solvang !

Jacob was my bartender for the night and he made me a drink entirely out of scratch from what I was craving for the night. The atmosphere was great as well clean cute and quiet little bar. Will definitely be coming back!

Service was amazing! Clean and well kept rooms. We booked a standard king and they upgraded us to their Sanford Loft complimentary for my birthday! 10/10 experience. Cute lounge and lobby. Perfect nook off the Main Street and gorgeous views if you get a spot facing the park.

We checked in two days ago and a few things were kind of shocking to me. A) Insufficient power ports even for their own equipment. The Microwave, lamp and coffee maker were designated two ports below the desk, to use all three would mean asking for a power strip. Same goes for the bedside lamps and charger on the bedside table, which required three but only two were plugged in. B) No sound proofing in the walls. I had to sleep with ANC earphones in because of the constant noise from upstairs and the adjacent rooms. C) The AC sounded like an inconsistent jet turbine. It would turn up every 10 minutes, wind down, turn up again, for the entire night. If it was consistent I could've gotten used to the noise, but no. D) Housekeeping audibly yelling across the entire hall in the morning. The staff themselves were quite lovely but we could hear them saying things to each other across the entire hall. Annoying to say the least. E) Also kinda shocking that a kettle has to be requested from the reception, when all i want is a cup of tea when i walk into my room. F) Why are all the cups plastic? And why are all of them wrapped in more plastic individually? Just use ceramic mugs and wash them after every checkout... Overall it's a decent property, comfortable beds, visibly clean, friendly staff, well equipped, but id recommend bringing ANC equipment you'd be comfortable sleeping in.

This is a chic hotel located in the heart of solving. You can walk to so many good restaurants and bakeries. Staying in solvang is expensive and after I looked at all options, this place was a good value for money. Our 2 queen bed had a nice view, balcony with chairs. They also provided microwave and fridge. Lobby has complimentary water bottles, coffee and cold brew. I read some reviews about parking, but during our weekend stay, it was not a problem. My only concern was lack of closet space and storage in the bathroom and vanity area. Staff is friendly. We enjoyed the V lounge that has good selection of drinks and 2 happy hours.

The hotel was really pretty with pretty rooms, lounge and bar and a very friendly staff. Our room was spacious with a cozy bed. I really like the nook with room for a laptop and the wifi is free, both of which came in handy since I had an online training to attend one day. Another good point is that I t's walking distance to the main street. The one thing it lacked was a small table and/or a chaise lounger. The room was definitely big enough to accommodate both. One last thing was the window maybe needs an upgrade so that it blocks out the traffic noise as the place is located on the main road and our room was facing it. Other good points for this place is that there was a park nearby with tennis and pickleball courts.

The good: I loved my short stay here! The bed was luxurious and comfy. The sheets were layered just how I liked it (thick enough to be warm but not scratchy and thick). I slept like a log. It's the second hotel in Solvang I've stayed in and definitely the nicer of the two. The hotel was modern, spacious, bright, trendy and comfortable. There's happy hour in the lounge 4-6pm with an additional 10% off for hotel guests. You can also order food from the lounge delivered to your room as room service. There's a small pool that is 4.5' deep and jacuzzi that fits six people. The rooms have keurig machines, microwaves and mini fridges. The bathroom sink had a cool design with it being outside the bathroom and with a fun turning mirror that has two sides. Parking was covered under the hotel. The shower had a rainfall overhead shower head. The beds were plush and high. The hotel is dog friendly. They have Santa Barbara coffee and cold brew on tap in the lobby. The hallways are accessible with a keycard for added protection. There's a water machine on the lower parking floor and ice machines on all other floors. Hotel staff members were friendly. I liked the vaulted lobby ceiling with the giant red chandelier. The hotel is walking distance to all of the restaurants and Solvang attractions. The bad: The elevator can be a little slow. Our towel rack in the bathroom was a falling off the wall. You get wet if you turn on the shower head because of how the rainfall shower head is positioned and how you can't access the water lever from the door closer to it. The interesting: The windows open but there's no screen so it's completely open to the outside. Beware if you have kids.

PROS: Spacious room, clean with great water pressure. CONS: Lack of parking and didn't get the room I paid for. I stayed here for a recent birthday trip with my boyfriend. We paid a little more for the city-view room as I wanted it to be very special and have only previously passed through Solvang. I booked through hotels.com as I have status there. We arrived around 4pm-ish and checked in. Check-in was relatively smooth. However, the elevator up to our room was not and was a little rough in a way that made me slightly uncomfortable. It's an old hotel that has been renovated, so it didn't surprise me, but I wish it was just a smoother ride. Our room was the farthest it possibly could be from the elevator and we had to scan the room key twice to get through to our room. Great for security, but we didn't even need to scan our room key to use the elevator and access the first rooms, so I guess the far walk had some pros! We entered our room to find that our room was actually valley view and not city view. We had a dinner reservation to make at a nearby steakhouse, so we decided not to say anything and have to move rooms. It was slightly frustrating considering I really wanted this trip to be special and we did pay extra for the city view room. Not the biggest deal as we noticed the "city view" rooms don't even have "city views" because of the location of the hotel, but rather seem to look out at another hotel that they are renovating. When we returned from dinner, however, there were no parking spots in their two underground garages, nor the other spots surrounding the hotel. We drove around twice before kind of panicking. We went inside the lobby and the woman at the front desk said we could park on the street. It's a pretty busy street, so I was worried. Everything turned out fine, but I really wish they would have enough parking spots for their hotel guests. Would I stay here again? Yea....maybe. I liked the room and found it to be very spacious. The water pressure in the shower was also pretty great. But, is it a must stay? No. I'll probably see if I can find something without all these little kinks next time.

For the price, it was really good actually. My boyfriend and I were visiting Santa Barbara but couldn't find a nice looking hotel for the same price. We decided to check out Solvang. The hotel room was clean and nicely furnished. Every appliance was there and we enjoyed our stay. Definitely would come again.

Eh....... The Hotel itself is very nice but do not get a room that faces the mountain side right, outside of your balcony. It is very nice to have your own balcony but, we were faced towards the mountains, not the city, and all you can smell are the Goats and Goats bathroom doing. If you have allergies, do not get one of these rooms. I was truly disappointed with the overwhelming smell that I couldn't enough reading a book out drinking my beverage outside on the balcony. Another down fall is that there are not enough outlets for your phones, smart watches, laptop, etc. One of the two bedside lamps,( that does have a port to charge your phone) didn't work. The bathroom is very nice as are the amenities. Very clean. Beds are comfortable. The TV is very nice and since it is a smart TV, you have to option to use Netflix, You Tube, etc.. The staff are very nice! Very accommodating. Overall, good hotel but the Goat smell is overwhelming (even when swimming in the pool) and the lack of outlets was a downfall, especially when traveling with Teenagers.

The Vinland Hotel has been a delight...terrific customer service and the V Lounge was a deciding factor and Jacob the bartender was fantastic! So kind to share some ideas for day trips and so friendly.

Such a cute and cozy little place in the heart of Solvang. Best part is that they are pup friendly! It was my first time traveling w my fur baby so I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! The rooms are spacious and clean with a microwave and fridge. Definitely looking forward to my next trip!

I checked in on 6/29 at 3pm. I was greeted at the front by a gentleman whose name I just can't remember. He was absolutely amazing and helpful. Everyone on staff was amazing. The room was clean and very nice. Wife and I took time at 9 pm at the v lounge and the bartender whom I also forgot the name of she was great! And David the chef was awesome and our interaction was memorable. It's very unassuming, but the food was amazing particularly the Brussels sprout bites. I couldn't leave without speaking to the chef. Thank you for an amazing stay and can't wait to stay here once again!

This was my first visit to this hotel, and it was a nice stay. It is beautifully situated on the main street, and the accommodations were nice. The bed was SO comfy, and that alone would have me back! The check in staff wasn't unfriendly, but not overly friendly either, which didn't bother me, although I was expecting more warmth. The V Lounge is cute. Not fond of the food options, but the drinks are delicious. The space is very cute. The patio didn't seem to had been cleaned in some time, so it was not very inviting for me. Cobwebs and critters are an absolute no for me. Which leads me to the next morning, there was a large spider chillin on the wall and it freaked me out so much I couldn't even take a picture. The biggest complaint is how terrible the shower water pressure was. It made me so upset, lol. I was really looking forward to a nice good shower once we finally arrived after an almost 4 hour drive, and that shower pressure was mocking me! I did appreciate that the sink is outside and inside of the bathroom so you can still use the sink if someone is using the restroom or taking a shower. I only stayed one night. I would recommend. I would stay again.
