Evelyn, United States of America

Very comfortable hostel in a charming old house. Very clean and well maintained. Would stay again!

Jen, United States of America

The rooms are extremely small, not enough space for personal belongings. The fire alarms went off around 6 in the morning and there was no staff to help or assist with stopping it. We had to figure out dialing emergency service to make it stop. Did not get any sleep.

Siddhartha, United States of America

Great community vibe - access to the kitchen was very convenient. Overall a very clean please to stay in.

Daphne, United States of America

Our hostess went way out of her way to accommodate our late check in. Despite late hour, she was so graceful and lovely and it made a big difference in me feeling welcome.

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.
