"I usually don't go for Hostels but this one was exceptionally good! The pods were small but just right for sleeping with good storage for a small space. I liked how the rooms were private and you could control the AC/lighting. The bathrooms were clean and safe (private stalls for both shower and toilet). I like the amenities and it was enough for us to use a fridge, microwave, and tea kettle so we could save some money eating in rather than going out for every meal. It was very secure, you needed to scan your wrist band for every floor and the front door would lock at a certain time so only guest with wristbands could enter late at night which made me feel safe. Someone is also at the front desk 24/7 which was super helpful and awesome for safety! I loved it and would recommend!"
"Hotel is standard for Iceland chain hotels. The room doors are hard to close (you can hear all the other guests slamming the doors to try get them to close properly). There is no parking at the hotel, you have to park on the street and it’s metered parking. "
"Staff was not very welcoming. Young man working the check-in, in a t-shirt, seemed as if he could have cared less that we were staying. If this was my business, he would no longer be employed. The room was bare basics. No mini-refrigerator to store my meds. I ordered 1-queen size bed, the room we were given had two twin beds. The surrounding area had absolutely nothing for bars, shops, or restaurants. Won't go back!"
"What an amazing view from the front of the hotel! Our north-facing room also had a great view. We stayed here in April 2026 on a cloudy and somewhat rainy day. The building is long with a lot of rooms. There is a restaurant, but we opted to drive to Vic for dinner. The breakfast was great. Wifi was a bit spotty but worked overall. Our room was a good size. There were no outlets next to the sides of the bed (plenty in the room though), and there were lights positioned right over the pillows, a real ouchie if you forget. The walls are a bit thin, but our white noise app helped with that. Overall, a great stay outside of the town of Vik."
