Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern rooms with fantastic views of the black sand beaches and ocean. The service was very helpful and attentive. The central location in Vik is a major plus, along with the proximity to the sights of the south coast of Iceland. The dining experience was great with a variety of options. Overall, a top choice for a stay in Vik.
Staying at the Icelandair Vik was a mixed experience. While the room with a seaside view and a great bathroom turned out not to be as impressive as expected, with an average view, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering a stunning sight of the famous sea stacks truly blew me away. The service, while good, lacked a bit of the warm and engaging touch found in other places. The location was superb, providing easy access to various natural wonders and being conveniently situated in the town center. Dining, although included in the rate, left much to be desired with its high prices and lackluster quality. The facilities were decent but had room for improvement, reflecting the overall value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, were a bit disappointing compared to other places we stayed during our trip in Iceland. The service was friendly, with staff offering helpful amenities like dinner reservations and wake-up calls for the northern lights. The location was ideal for exploring the south shore attractions, but the dining experience fell short of expectations. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel was a good starting point for adventures in the area.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though smaller than expected, were clean and had a great shower, but my room felt like a damp wooden hut separate from the main building, with a tiny, windowless bathroom. The service was friendly and accommodating, with a mix-up at check-in that was quickly resolved. On the bright side, they graciously loaned me an electrical adapter overnight. The location was wonderful, just beneath the lovely church on the hill, with a black sand beach across the street. The dining was adequate, offering standard European fare, but a bit overpriced for what was provided.
The hotel offers stylish and comfortable rooms in a convenient location near Vik and Reynisfjara beach. The service is proactive with suggestions, but lacks friendliness at the bar and restaurant. The dining experience is good but slightly overpriced. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel's location is a good starting point for expeditions to nearby national parks and waterfalls. The rooms offer either stunning views or less appealing sights of nearby buildings. The service is attentive, but slight improvements could be made, such as more smiles and pleasantries. The dining options are varied, with room for improvement in pricing. The facilities are up to standard, offering a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel is clean, comfortable, and located conveniently near Vik, offering spacious and modern rooms. The staff is friendly and accommodating, especially guiding guests to the best aurora viewing spots. The dining options are diverse, although at an additional charge. The location is easily accessible from the Ring Road, with some drainage issues reported. Overall, a good value for money choice in Vik.
The hotel rooms were lovely, clean, and warm with a good view of the ocean. The service was absolutely lovely and friendly. The location was convenient to see the black beach and get to Hofn. The dining experience was in every way excellent with Icelandic produce. The facilities were superb.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, despite being on two levels and having a nice view, turned out to be small, old, and poorly-equipped, which didn't justify the cost. The location was convenient off the main road in Vik, but it was a bit disappointing to have a view of the backside of other rooms instead of the coast. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there were some missed opportunities in making the experience exceptional. The dining experience, although an additional charge, was below expectations, but the breakfast service managed to meet some standards. The facilities at the hotel were adequate but not outstanding. Overall, the value for money was questionable in some aspects.
The hotel offers beautiful views from the spacious and clean rooms. The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating, although Northern Lights spotting might not be guaranteed. The location is ideal for exploring the South coast, conveniently situated in the center of Vik. Dining options, while simple, are in a central location near the beach and chapel.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although I regret not booking earlier to avoid the extra cost for a family room. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for exploring the beautiful sights in the area, but dealing with a credit card transaction issue caused some inconvenience.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was excellent for exploring Southern Iceland, just a quick drive from the black beach and right off the Ring Road. The rooms, however, were a letdown as we ended up in what felt like a damp wooden hut with no views, separated from the main building. The service was friendly but lacked genuine care, with repeated apologies that didn't seem sincere. The dining experience was average, with a continental buffet in a conservatory overlooking the plains. The facilities were decent but not outstanding.
The hotel is nestled on a hill covered with wildflowers and nesting birds, offering a unique view of a rocky cliff full of seagull nests - an interesting sight during this season. The room had two separated twin beds, albeit a bit small, providing a peaceful retreat at the back of the hotel.
My stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The location couldn't be better, nestled right next to the breathtaking black sand beaches and within easy reach of all the must-see sites along the South coast. The rooms were incredibly clean and comfortable, boasting huge windows with blackout blinds that provided the best views of the cliffs. The service was top-notch, with the receptionist being exceptionally friendly and even recommending local attractions. The dining experience was delightful, especially the breakfast with a variety of dishes. Overall, great value for money with the added bonus of proximity to stunning natural wonders.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy and bright with floor-to-ceiling windows, but privacy could be an issue with noise from neighboring rooms. The beds, though small, were surprisingly comfortable, and the bathroom was a real highlight with a huge walk-in shower, rain shower, and heated floors. The service was a bit of a hit or miss; while some staff members were very friendly and helpful in recommending local eateries and accommodating an extra night due to bad weather, others seemed indifferent with repeated apologies that felt insincere. The location, perfect for a stopover between exploring the waterfall in the south coast and the glacier lagoons in the southeast coast, lacked character despite being modern and clean, offering a cozy space for travelers to share stories but lacking in atmosphere. Dining options were decent with a continental breakfast featuring European fare, but an additional charge per person may not align with everyone's idea of value for money.
