The hostel has a really nice location. Our room was clean and prepared. The shared bathroom wasn´t big but was also clean and nice. The kitchen is well equipped. I liked the hostel. I like that on each floor was a small toilet. The beds were comfortable.

Klára, Czech Republic

Really comfy place, the kitchen its fully equipated. I didn't use the showers but the bathroom was okey too. It's good for a night or two if you are traveling around and the price it's really good too, especially for Iceland.

Marina, Argentina

The stay was perfect and the staff was pleasant. Would definitely recommend to friends and family for future bookings.

Shreya, India

The rooms were small, as said, but nice, with enough room. Very friendly and helpful staff (note that there are no workers at the hostel itself, but they're at the hotel, which is just next to the hostel). The kitchen and eating area were OK too. It was pretty centric (although it was a 12min walk to the shops/supermarkets). For beign Iceland, the price was fare too. Overall, I would recommend.

Fènix, Spain

Staff were so nice We had been gotten a car accident so we had to wait. They allowed to wait in there. Hostel was clean and comfortable There had enough kitchen equipments

Hyeonjeong, United Kingdom

Fine room with comfortable beds. Nice to have tea and coffee in the hallways. Lovely view from our room on the church.

Michael, Netherlands

The single room was the perfect size for a solo traveler.

Evelyn, United States of America

Nothing. The best part was the location and although that might be appealing (it was to me), it is definitely NOT WORTH IT. Try to stay a little bit away from Vik that is cheaper.

Nina, Netherlands

Nice located, the kitchen is super equiped, beds are comfortable.

Qumran, Israel

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

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.

We had a weird smell in our room, that wouldn´t disappear even after opening window. The room was really small, there is basically space only for the bed and one small table. Otherwise is a nice hostel.

Walls are thin, so you hear pretty much all, i had earplugs tho, so wasn't a problem for me but it was for my friend.

The plug on the room didn't work very well, and the charger fell off. The room is small, but with enough room. The showers are on the first floor, so if you're up it can get a bit uncomfortable to walk down. And there is only one toilet for each floor, all the others are downstairs. I came off season and it was fine, but I imagine it could get crowded otherwise.

The house is very old which means you will hear every time anyone does anything, so bring earplugs! The toilets were few and far between.
The single room was the perfect size for a solo traveler.
