Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly person and made arrangements for a great dinner. The breakfast, which was included, was very good with many choices. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is located at the exit of Vik, in a very quiet area with plenty of nature! The room is very nice in warm colors with an ocean view! Both the bathroom and the room were clean!The restaurant where we had breakfast is very nice, and the breakfast buffet offered by the hotel is impressive in its diversity; all the products were fresh and of superior quality... we loved the freshly squeezed orange juice.

Cozy town tucked against a black sand beach with beautiful mountainous terrain and multiple viewpoints and other attractions within short driving distance. Definitely a town everyone should stop in when they are visiting Iceland.

Must try black crust pizza.
Must try black crust pizza. The lookout point at Dyrhólaey panoramic views, don't miss it and of course the Black Sand beach. To visit the crashed US plane, either we can walk for 3 hours (both ways) or take shuttle which will cost ISK3000 per person.

Vik is a picturesque gem tucked along the country's stunning south coast! Reynisfjara Beach is easily accessible, where black sand meets crashing waves with towering basalt columns as the backdrop. The wind can get too strong which makes a part of the beach dangerous (sneaker waves warning), but it is still well worth visiting. The town is charming with cozy cafes (try the black crust pizza!), the locals are warm and welcoming. This town is the perfect location to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in Iceland's raw beauty.

We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it.
We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it. It is quite a small town, but has a big supermarket (kronan), a really great quality hiking clothes/supplies store, plus a number of cafes and places to eat. We recommend Sudur Vik Restaurant especially.
We did the Katla Track ice cave tour which was amazing and left from Vik!! Also recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides Snowmobile tour - meeting point 25 mins drive from Vik. Black Sand beach is great, as is local open air pool.
We stayed in the Vik hotel which is fabulous, but as we were there for three days, I would have preferred an apartment. The hotel also operates the Vik Apartments (which I hadn't realised before I booked) - they look really good.

We based our family of 5 in Vik to explore the southern coast over 3 nights with our rental car. We found it easier to have one base rather than a different hotel each night.
We visited the Skogafoss Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, YODA caves, gorge hike, Glacier walk at Skaftafell and then onto the Glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.
We didn’t eat out as it was expensive for what appeared average food so we went to the local supermarket and cooked back at our self catered apartment.
Vik offers lots of adventure based companies who organise tour and expeditions.
The location of the hotel is perfect. You have the famous Black Diamond Beach just a walk away, a petrol station, restaurants and the most beautiful view to wake up to. We got snowed in for two days and the hotel were very accommodating and understanding. We were able to organise to stay in the hotel for another night at the same cost as initially booking. Breakfast was lovely and the room was very nice and clean. The bathroom is wonderful and I had one of the best showers during my stay in Iceland. Overall highly recommended.
A comfortable room at the back of the hotel with a lovely view out to the mountains behind Vík. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was very good. The room was smaller than other places we stayed in Iceland, but hotel rooms in Iceland are generally fairly small, and it was very well organised to maximise the space. It is on the edge of town, but no more than 10-15 minutes' walk from most of the main restaurants. The public areas of the hotel are lovely and very stylish and the restaurant is very good.
This wonderful Guesthouse was more than we could have imagined!! Gudrun was such a wonderful hostess - so welcoming and friendly to us! The best was finding the homemade waffle batter in the fridge for us!! After many days of traveling around Iceland, it was a delight to have a full kitchen with supplies. Location is awesome too - we enjoyed walking around charming Vik straight from the guesthouse. One of our best meals was at Sudur Vik which Gudrun recommended to us. I hope to be able to visit again!
This is the one hostel that I stayed in during my Iceland stay and I was impressed. Excellent value for money and lively vibe. We shared a private room with a shared bathroom down the hallway. Bed was very comfortable. Shower and bathroom were clean and I did not have to wait. Lovely view from the room. There is a bar open till very late and kitchen available to cook. Lots of people chatting and cooking from all corners of the world. Close to the town of Vik with black sand beaches.
Nestled away in a small valley just east of Vik Hotel Katla is a hidden gem. Arnar was an outstanding front desk man/ manager dealt with him the night of check-in and at checkout. He was so friendly and helped us with all questions.
The room was clean and very modern. Very clean as well. Many amenities that we did not use due to time constraints. The included breakfast was phenomenal. Would recommend this place just off Iceland's Ring Road.
My son and I were traveling the Ring Road. We were looking for places we could easily check in and out of and that offered breakfast. Vik is on the eastern edge of the touristy south coast of Iceland, so it can be difficult to find lodging. I recommend a good B&B like Arsalir Guesthouse when you don't absolutely need the hotel experience or can't find a hotel. They were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.
The host was very nice. She rents out 3 bedrooms, but guests can use the Kitchen and living room. The house did not officially include breakfast, but the host had waffle batter and a waffle maker in addition to homemade treats. Smallish room but typical for Iceland. Short drive to Vik. 10 minutes drive to the popular black sand beach near Vik. Comfy mattress.
The location was quiet and pretty on the way to black sand beach and just outside of Vik. The Barn was beautiful, nice big showers and separate sink area and bathrooms. Really pretty and clean. A couple stoves to use and a few fridges, spacious enough. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Iceland in the Vik area.
My dad and I stayed at Puffin Hostel Vík for one night on our two-week trip to Iceland. The room and communal areas (shared kitchen and bathroom) were very clean and tidy. The location was very convenient - it is about a 10-minute walk to the black sand beach in Vík where you can see nesting puffins. :)
Perfect! This apartment has everything we needed in a beautiful location. Easy to pick up keys at hotel right behind apartments. This is the most comfortable place we have stayed in all of Iceland. Highly recommend. Even had washer dryer that’s e weren’t expecting which was a pleasant surprise.
Vik is obviously a small town, but this was located near the little church and across the street from a supermarket and gas station. It was convenient, the hotel staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. It was pricey, but everything in Iceland seems to be.
very pastoral, surrounded by farm animals and beautiful scenery! very comfortable bed, nice kitchen and living room for your use making it one of the best guest houses we have stayed at in Iceland so far! would definitely come back again if traveling around Iceland!
Clean and comfortable. Handmade wool sweaters the cheapest we found in Iceland and the workmanship was superb. We didn't realize what a great deal it was at the time. If you're in the market for sweaters, call them! We will go there next visit to buy one there.
Modern and spacious apartment with kitchen and seating area, and two good sized bedrooms.
The location was great as a base to explore the South coast scenery. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Overall good value in the Icelandic market.
Nice view but not excactly a "beach" view.
Exellenct location, just a few minutes drive from Vik.
This is the best room we stayed in Iceland!
Well equipped kitchen with all the essential bit like salt and pepper etc.
Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful, loved windows that opened to mountain, great staff all around, hotel desk attendant (Scottish woman) was great, dinner was amazing, lamb was best meal in Iceland, great breakfast
Lovely location close to Vik. The price was fair compared to the usual Icelandic standard. Everything was clean, we had a warm welcome from the hosts, and a nice breakfast in the morning (basic, but good)
Breakfast was slightly better than most hotels we stayed at in Iceland but still average. The location was convenient. Checkin was easy and smooth. The parking lot was nearly full when we visited.
