Vík Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay here! The apartment check-in and parking was straightforward and simple. The suite was clean, modern and prepared with things like washer, dryer AND laundry pods. Minutes away, walking distance to Bonus (grocery and everything store), gas and restaurants. Would highly recommend and stay again!!"
"This was my favorite hotel that we stayed in on out Icelnad ring road trip.
So good that we started and finished here.
The check in was great. The Hotel staff were polite and accommodating.
The breakfast is killer here. The buffet alone for breakfast is worth staying.
The rooms were clean and quiet.
You are downtown Selfoss, so many food and drink option within walking distance.
Ill be staying here again for certain."
"From the moment His Majesty and I crossed the threshold of this resplendent Icelandic haven, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of understated opulence and Nordic charm. Our three-night sojourn felt less like a hotel stay and more like a curated experience in refined hospitality. The staff, ever gracious and impeccably mannered, anticipated our needs with the kind of intuitive finesse one typically reserves for palace attendants.
Our suite—an exquisite blend of modern elegance and cozy sophistication—boasted every amenity one might desire, from plush linens that whispered luxury to a décor so tastefully orchestrated it could have been lifted from the pages of Architectural Digest. The view? Positively cinematic. Each morning greeted us with a panorama so breathtaking, it felt as though Iceland herself had arranged the landscape for our private enjoyment.
The location, too, was nothing short of perfection—close enough to the pulse of adventure, yet secluded enough to preserve our royal tranquility. Needless to say, we are already plotting our triumphant return."
"The room was very cute and comfortable. We had the Henhouse and there were chickens sleeping in their bed. Up on the hill behind the place were water falls and striking hills. This place is really one of a kind and Anna shares fresh baked cookies. Don’t pass this place up if you are looking at a place on the south ring road!"
