Puffin Hostel Vík
Víkurbraut 24a, 870 Vík, Iceland – Great location - show map
The staff at the hostel was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Though we had bad weather the evening of our check-in, they were helpful and were able to assist us with drying our wet clothes from the day. The kitchen was small but well-equipped, and the common area was pleasant. The beach was only a short walk from the hostel.

The location was great and the bed was comfortable enough, but it was the teeniest room I've ever been in -- like a closet with a window. Still, that was fine for me...it was the noise level that was difficult to live with. OMG.

Very friendly staff! The guy at the front desk was very helpful and gave me a list of places I could visit while I was in Vik. It is an old building and the stairs are squeaky, but those were minor and not an inconvenience. It's a very nice place and there is a very yummy soup shop nearby as well as a grocery store.

The room is very small but just perfect for one night stay.

Would definitely stay here again. Everything was convenient and uncomplicated. And the place was spotless!! All the nature activities were an average of 15 mins away by car. Loved the place, loved the location, loved the staff.

Everything was perfect. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in.

The guy at the reception showed us multilingual talents when waiting for our turn at the desk. The instructions were given clearly. Our room was in another property new to the reception and the house was beautiful and old. When staying upstairs, you need to climb very steep and narrow stairs so not so easy if you have trouble with your knees or heavy luggage. The kitchen was big and had everything we needed. There was a good restaurant next to the hostel. A walking distance to the beach. Lots of trails to walk nearby but we didn't have good weather during our one night stay.

Built from timber and clad in a corrugated metal exterior, the hostel opened in 1913 and has been preservd in its original state ever since. It was designed for traveller accomodation, which makes it the longest-running hotel/hostel in Iceland. In this respect, we would like to remind our guests that this house is over 100 years old, which means the interior is old as well, with creaking floors and narrow staircases. Nevertheless, we are certain modern-day travellers will enjoy the charm of this historical building.
