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.

The fact that they do not sort trash, almost everything went into one trashbin. Except for the cans and bottles.
The rooms were clean, bright and warm, there were enough showers for all. The kitchen was fully equiped.

the Room was small for the price, up a steep stairs. The kitchen was cramped and windowless. No basics such as teabags available. Ok for one night but poor value for money overall.

We had a room on the 3rd floor, very small for 3 ppl and the shared bathroom on 2nd floor was too small. Stairs very small. We did not feel comfortable in our stay and there was a strange smell in the hostel. If the price was half the price maybe it would have been acceptable.
The location is good.

“Don’t stay here - spend more to stay elsewhere”

The room was small, with barley enough space for 2 people to stand with their bags, and the room has a bunk bed which feels a little cheap when you pay for a room with 2 beds (often times you will get 2 single beds or a double bed). The hostel also only has ONE BATHROOM on the second floor, with a sink and toilet (no shower) to service ALL of the second AND third floor guests. Our room was right next to this coveted bathroom, and with very poor sound insulation we could hear everyone lock the door and go pee and flush. It kept us up all night. Overall this place is a garbage hostel and I wish I had paid a little more to stay somewhere else.
