An Inside Look at Puffin Hostel Vík

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.
