Great location. Central in Vik, walking distance to all of the town and black beach. Kitchen clean and well stocked. Rooms comfortable but small, couldn't fit much luggage in rooms.

Bianca, United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly, as were the other guests. We were informed that the house is over 100 years old, and it was full of character.

Sydney, Canada

Very good location to visit everything around Vik.

Nicolas, United Kingdom

Very clean, easy to locate, next to the black sand beach.

Sophie, Denmark

The staff was excellent and the location is close to the Black Sand Beach. I recommend taking breakfast with your reservation.

David, United States of America

Full kitchen and nice quiet rooms, comfortable beds. Lots of dining space and quaint old building. Nice to have sinks in each room and bathrooms on main and second floors so people on third floor didn't have to go too far.

Analise, Canada

The kitchen was fully equipped with oil, salt, sugar, pans, pots and even rice cooker. Impressed ! Also I like the fact that people had to take shoes off before coming into the common area.

Ngon, United Kingdom

Good clean hostel with all the usual facilities. It's right on the route 1 highway. The bed was comfy and I slept well.

The, Ireland

The staff was really friendly, the check-in and check-out were absolutely seamless. The size of the room was totally fine and it even came with a TV. Another plus is that it's centrally located and easy to find.

Pia, Israel

There was an initial issue with our rooms when we checked-in, however the alternate room the property offered was even better. We had our own little suite. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was great, and very helpful.

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.

“Tip - choose another hotel”

- • Budget Twin Room with Shared Bathroom

눉- The room is the smallest room in my life. - The bathroom and kitchen are in the ground floor and the room is on the third floor. The stairs are terrible. We have experience with steep stairs - our children live in Amsterdam. But these go beyond any notion of normality. - The heating did not work. They offered an additional electric heater, but then we had to choose either the electric heater in the room or me and my wife.

눉Showers annoying in that you had to press the button every 30 seconds to keep shower running and couldn't control temp. No toilets on top floor which meant had to come down 1 or 2 flights of narrow stairs at night to use bathroom.
눇Great location. Central in Vik, walking distance to all of the town and black beach. Kitchen clean and well stocked. Rooms comfortable but small, couldn't fit much luggage in rooms.

눉It looked rather old for Icelandic standards. The rooms were very small with no hangers. The staircase was very narrow, so it was difficult to access with the backpacks/luggage. The carpet was very old.
눇It was ok and practical.

눉The showers had push buttons which you had to keep pressing but you couldn't control the heat so you were stuck with one temperature. It was an ok temp but not hot enough for some. No storage in shower area- could use some shelves and more than 2 hooks. Otherwise really nice place to stay.
