Very clean, friendly staff, and fully stocked kitchen. The ambiance is great! We took a private bedroom room which came with very modern private bath. Little pricey…but same as everywhere in iceland.

Paid a hefty price for a place that has no available receptionist in the morning for checkout and no breakfast. The bar is loud and disturbing to guest rooms. Common bathrooms and kitchen do not make up for the price by any stretch.

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet location and a view of a glacier and the ocean. Close to Black Sand Beach and Vik amenities. Clean and stylish common areas. Good kitchen although there were no freezers available for guests. We had a private room. It was clean, but worn out in places. The bed was uncomfortable and sloped to the center as if people only slept in the middle of the bed. The door was very difficult to lock and unlock. The woman working the front desk was not helpful and was curt when asked basic property related questions. It was expensive for what it was.

While this Hostel facility was newer, beautifully designed and impeccable, sharing a room with 4 beds with other guests just wasn't for us. Staff was awesome. We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but opted for a regular room for night 2. If you don't mind the hostel experience, then you're good to go!
