Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The modern design stood out right away—clean lines, stylish decor, and a thoughtfully designed space that felt both welcoming and functional. Everything from the lobby to the room had a sleek, contemporary vibe that made the experience feel a bit more special. Would definitely stay here again!

Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean, friendly staff, and fully stocked kitchen. The ambiance is great! We took a private bedroom room which came with very modern private bath. Little pricey…but same as everywhere in iceland.
Jaikanth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was helpful and friendly. We had a private room with a shared bath. Not too bad! The views of the bay were great. The communal kitchen was very well equipped and clean.
Howard, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place. Clean, great location. Like the kitchen . Still private even with shared bathroom.
MARIA SALUD, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great stay in the en-suite double rooms. Even though the radiator was off, the room was very hot. Other than that, it was an excellent stay.
Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great property with a great bar.
ashley, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Paid a hefty price for a place that has no available receptionist in the morning for checkout and no breakfast. The bar is loud and disturbing to guest rooms. Common bathrooms and kitchen do not make up for the price by any stretch.
Alexandru, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Double beds in a luxury hotel feeling hostel. Great self catering facilities. Clean and modern.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beyond clean and beautiful. Vík is 8 minutes away from this hostel. Very friendly and nice! Book it!
Sylvia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice and isolated

Nice, but missed breakfast as an opportunity.
Henrik, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet location and a view of a glacier and the ocean. Close to Black Sand Beach and Vik amenities. Clean and stylish common areas. Good kitchen although there were no freezers available for guests. We had a private room. It was clean, but worn out in places. The bed was uncomfortable and sloped to the center as if people only slept in the middle of the bed. The door was very difficult to lock and unlock. The woman working the front desk was not helpful and was curt when asked basic property related questions. It was expensive for what it was.
Nancy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The perfect place to stay in Vik! Right down the road from black sand beach and a 7 min drive into town! Gorgeous views
Adrienne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We thought the hostel was clean and convenient at an affordable price.
Bridget, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The common kitchen is great. However, watch your head. The ceiling in the double bedroom is low.
Hyesoon, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in a private bed/bath suite and it was amazing! Open and spacious room with great private bathroom. Easy parking on site and 5 mins from black sand beach.
