Very well presented hotel. The outside was very attractive and inside was nice rooms and communal areas. Nespresso coffee machine, smart TV with streaming apps were extras we appreciated.
Doors opening onto own decking area from the room, easy to walk to nearby restaurants and a nice hotel bar for drinks. Breakfast had lots of choices and a great view of the mountain. Good location for exploring the southern coast. Thanks for a great stay!

Our room was very spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly person and made arrangements for a great dinner. The breakfast, which was included, was very good with many choices. I would definitely stay here again.

The separate buildings were warm and the breakfast was good. It was a little way outside Vik but we had a car and that didn't matter to us.

Location was really good if you have a car, very quite place with lots of nature surounding, only around 10 min by car to reach black beach, and also around 10 min to reach Vik town. The apartment was very bright and had nice view to the distant black beach. Parking was easy and always avalable. Rain shower was relaxing and nice.

Cozy town tucked against a black sand beach with beautiful mountainous terrain and multiple viewpoints and other attractions within short driving distance. Definitely a town everyone should stop in when they are visiting Iceland.

Must try black crust pizza.
Must try black crust pizza. The lookout point at Dyrhólaey panoramic views, don't miss it and of course the Black Sand beach. To visit the crashed US plane, either we can walk for 3 hours (both ways) or take shuttle which will cost ISK3000 per person.

Vik is a picturesque gem tucked along the country's stunning south coast! Reynisfjara Beach is easily accessible, where black sand meets crashing waves with towering basalt columns as the backdrop. The wind can get too strong which makes a part of the beach dangerous (sneaker waves warning), but it is still well worth visiting. The town is charming with cozy cafes (try the black crust pizza!), the locals are warm and welcoming. This town is the perfect location to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in Iceland's raw beauty.

We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it.
We stayed in Vik for 3 days. Totally loved it. It is quite a small town, but has a big supermarket (kronan), a really great quality hiking clothes/supplies store, plus a number of cafes and places to eat. We recommend Sudur Vik Restaurant especially.
We did the Katla Track ice cave tour which was amazing and left from Vik!! Also recommend Icelandic Mountain Guides Snowmobile tour - meeting point 25 mins drive from Vik. Black Sand beach is great, as is local open air pool.
We stayed in the Vik hotel which is fabulous, but as we were there for three days, I would have preferred an apartment. The hotel also operates the Vik Apartments (which I hadn't realised before I booked) - they look really good.

We based our family of 5 in Vik to explore the southern coast over 3 nights with our rental car. We found it easier to have one base rather than a different hotel each night.
We visited the Skogafoss Waterfall, Black Sand Beach, YODA caves, gorge hike, Glacier walk at Skaftafell and then onto the Glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach.
We didn’t eat out as it was expensive for what appeared average food so we went to the local supermarket and cooked back at our self catered apartment.
Vik offers lots of adventure based companies who organise tour and expeditions.
Lovely place with a view just a 10-20-minute drive away from Vik, the Black Beach and Dyrholaey. (You should have a car (or bike), though.) Everything's clean and cosy, and the surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful. If the weather's game, the deck is also a great place to just have a coffee and enjoy the view! Rather good value for money compared to other places (in Iceland). We were sorry we had to leave after two nights! The hosts were also very helpful when we asked for an earlier check-in time, which we appreciated a lot!
This was an extraordinary stylish and beautiful hostel. My daughter and I stayed in a room with 6 bunkbeds. The showers and bathrooms were spotless. There was a small bar and you could purchase coffee and baked goods for breakfast. We didn't cook but they had a great kitchen for those who prefer to carry and make their own meals. The location was excellent on the same road as one of the most famous black sand beaches in Iceland.
Located just 10min from Viki and the amazing Black Sand beach in a peace and quiet this place was absolute amazing. Little small but very cozy, and very comfortable.beds, in the kitchen we had everything we needed, fresh towels. Perfect place to stay in south of Iceland as many amazing places are to see and what's the bonus we got to see the aurora just from our balcony one night which was an unforgettable experience
Lovely location. great friendly staff! lovely Breakfast with Smoked Salmon fish! a MUST stay!!!!! Our best time among all hotels in Iceland. This is a PROPER hotel with masks and sanitizers for guests. Extremely clean. The room we got, seemed as if we were 1st guests. Nice bathrooms. Very very accessible to Vik, the crashed air plane and the Black beach (Reynisfjara).
Super stylish property just outside Vik on the main South coast road, near the black sand beach/needles. Great value for money as long as you don't mind sharing (in fact we got our own room as the hotel was so quiet). Kitchen facilities are excellent (self-catering in Iceland saves you a LOT of money). Plenty of hot water and very clean. Very highly recommended.
It was a usual basic guesthouse in Iceland. Close to Vik about 8-10 min drive. Instructions were very clear. Kitchen was well equipped. There are enough tables & chair for 12 people & nice couch as well. The room is quite big if we compare other places we stayed. Beds were comfortable. The old viking house; horses & gang of sheeps are great bonuses.
It was quiet and tranquil but over-priced. The internet was spotty the bathroom was meh and the amenities non existent (at this price point of $280 a night, there should be shampoo and conditioner in the shower and multiple pillows and extra blankets. We have been all over Iceland - I have had much better value in the country’s 2 star hotels.
I would return to Iceland just to stay at this Lodge again. the warmest welcome on arrival, fantastic location on seafront 5 mins from Vik, so cosy and homely. Breakfast was delightful. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Amazing value for money, will be recommending to everyone.
Super clean and comfortable apartment just on the other side of the street of the local supermarket. Ideal location for a lot of spots close to Vik. The best bedding while we were in Iceland. Even a Nespresso with capsules has been in the apartment.
Everything, very comfortable modern hotel, fantastic breakfast with lots of options, accommodated request for extra pillows, beautiful view. Restaurant for dinner was one of our best meals in Iceland. Quick, easy check in.
Amazing accommodation, very clean, comfortable and Beautiful. The location is convenient to move around the main attractions of south Iceland, and close to the city of Vik (which has great restaurant options).
This was our favorite hotel of our entire trip to Iceland. The jacuzzi was great, the location was quiet, the rooms are beautiful, staff is friendly, and we enjoyed our dinner immensely.
This hotel was one of the most comfy hotels during our stay in Iceland. Good value for money, comfortable rooms, nice bathroom with floor heating, cosy lobby, great breakfast selection.
We arrived quite late at night and left early the next morning so didn’t experience too much of the hotel. Biggest room on our trip around Iceland and enjoyed a really good breakfast.
Great hotel in perfect location in Vik. Great facilities and superb breakfast to get you started in the morning. Would strongly recommend to anyone travelling around Iceland
Perfect location for an overnight stay in Vik. Nice location next to some stores. Dont expect too much, it covers the basics you need on a round trip in Iceland.
