Hostel The Barn

Norðurfoss, 871 Vík, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for The Barn – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very new property, good decoration & design. Super nice and cozy place to stay. We stay in 6-Bed dorm which is very comfortable. Upstair has full kitchen we can cook everything there. Like everything here!!

I Couldn't have been more impressed with the Barn. This is by far the nicest hostel I have ever stayed at! Clean rooms, great location, HUGE kitchen (I wish I had this kitchen in my own home), and friendly staff and other travelers. I stayed here for two nights and the second night right outside the door of the Barn I saw a spectacular showing of northern lights. I will never forget that experience.

Madeline, United States of America

Perfect location, easy and free parking. Cool building, with more upscale decor than I’m used to seeing in a hostel. Loved the privacy curtain on the bed.

Tyler, United States of America

The kitchen was very extensive and had everything you could need. Lots of very clean bathrooms and very comfortable bed

Alanna, United States of America

Very clean, modern facilities. Including incredibly clean bathrooms and comfortable beds. Nice common areas and kitchen. Friendly staff, seemless check in and out.

Samantha, United States of America

We were caught in a wind/snow storm. Woke up with no power. The hostel and its staff were not helpful in the slightest. No power, no water, no food. Made our way into the city to Vík because by staff we werrr told they had power. They had none, we used what little gas we had to try to make it to the next town.

Griffin, United States of America

The hostel is very organized, comfortable and has an extremely equipped kitchen, being able to cook quietly. Everything in the hostel is very new, totally clean, anyway, it was a great choice!

Rodrigobom, Brazil

I enjoyed the rustic feel of the place and how clean everything was.

Abigail, United States of America

Everything from the amenities, washrooms, and beds were amazing. The pictures online definitely got me excited but once we got there, it was just so beautiful to see. This was my first hostel stay and I now I have very high standards. The bed, comforter and pillows were amazingly cozy. I didn’t even mind sharing a room with 10 other people. We went with a group of 8 and we originally booked separate dorms, but the receptionist was able to accommodate us so that we weren’t all separated. The guys working there are super awesome and everyone staying there were so friendly. The bar downstairs let us bring out our own drinks and we were up until 2am. The lounge area was as cozy as the dorms. I’d stay here again and again and again. Not to mention the price 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Melissa, United States of America

Best hostel I’ve stayed in, very clean, front desk was super helpful and beer was reasonably priced!

This was a first ever hostel in my life and it absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. Starting from extremely comfortable beds and a view from our room where we could see Nordic lights while falling asleep to heated floors in bathrooms and complementary tea and coffee in the kitchen. The staff was very helpful and stayed up for our check-in until 11 pm, which was very nice of them. And the location is just perfect.

We slept in double bunk beds. 6 Doubles per room meant 12 people so it could get a little too noisy. Also, we shared a blanked which may be great for couples but for friends it was weird.
Great big kitchen with waterfront-view. Many separate showers and bathrooms.

“Modern with good amenities”

We stayed in a six bed dorm with double bunk beds - the dorm was quite full and got very very stuffy and hot overnight which made it very hard to sleep. This hostel also does not offer lockers or any other space for you to keep your stuff in. Not even a shelf for small items in your bunk - which makes the full dorms pretty messy as everyone is forced to leave their things on the floor (although there were a couple of stands for suitcases - unfortunately these didn't quite do the job).
This hostel seems rather new and the interior is well though of and stylish. There are lots of showers, toilets and sink so no queuing for amenities necessary. The kitchen space is amazing and very spacious with a lovely view out to the beach - definitely the best part of the hostel!

Only the price. It was as expensive as a hotel to rent the private room.
I had a private room, which felt new and clean. Basic. Kitchen was quite nice, all the equipment needed for several groups to make meals at the same time. Shared washroom was clean, and private.
