Hostel The Barn

Norðurfoss, 871 Vík, Iceland –

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

to get started.

Everything was very clean with a classy atmosphere. Shoes were required to be taken off at the entrance which made even the floors very clean. The kitchen was also built up very well. The reception was very very nice and helpful for advice on things to do and places to eat later on in our stay. Complimentary towels were also a plus

This was my second stay there in the same holiday. I would again like to mention that the beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms are extremely clean. The kitchen has all the amenities you can think of. The location is great, just a few meters from Reyjnisfara Black Sand Beach. I would rate the place 100 out of 10. Also, they mailed my North Face jacket to the hostel in Reykjavik when I had left it there by mistake. Great people!

This is an amazing hostel. The staff is super fun and accommodating. Everything is very clean and modern. The guest kitchen has everything you will ever need. The beds are very comfortable and include outlets and privacy curtains. The showers are amazing, and have steam heated floors so the stone slabs never feel too cold.

There are many good things to consider: 1. It's a newer hostel and is beautifully decorated with modern rustic feel. 2. The kitchen is fantastic but.... it's dark. There is no lightening in the back near the countertops. We had to report to the staff the kitchen had no towels again or counter spray for cleaning. 3. The beds were very comfortable! 4. Staff was accommodating and willing to help. 5. There is a small bar downstairs and the grocery in Vik is only a few minutes away. 6. Wifi was strong!

There was hands towels all over the floor of the bathrooms because of very little dust bins. Bigger ones or not paper towels at all would be an easy solution (every guest gets a fabric towel). It was really hot in the rooms and in the hall and bathrooms.
The kitchen was very complete and big enough for the quantity of people.

Room in dorm was roasting the first night but by opening the windows and switching radiator off it was easily solved and fine our second night.
Kitchen had everything and lovely atmosphere with all nationalities from around the world staying there. Comfortable mattresses in the dorms and showers were perfect as place is only recently opened. black beach is amazing and the local heated pool was great and cheap.

This is one of the cheapest Hostels that I have found in Iceland. At the same time it is the nicest and cleanest Hostel I have ever seen. It is simply amazing!

The most economical option is to have 2 people per bed, which was a little strange for some in our party.
Everything was very clean with a classy atmosphere. Shoes were required to be taken off at the entrance which made even the floors very clean. The kitchen was also built up very well.

All was good
The place was modern looking, very clean and every design detail was taken care off. It was an surprisingly nice place even if it was a hostel with multiple beds in each room. There is something different about the place that we only encountered there
