Absolute 10 out of 10! Amazing Hotel! We had a very pleasant stay at Katla Hotel. The staff is great, polite and on point. The facility has a hot tub and sauna. The location is quiet and reserve. Private parking lot. Amazing dinner buffet!

Great little charming town in the middle of nowhere. close to Dyrholaey, the Black Sand Beach and many waterfalls and glaciers. Excellent base for southern coast. Has everything you need including a few great restaurants, grocery store, liquor store(very expensive), and store for outdoor wear if you need it.

How can one come to Iceland and not stay in Vik?
How can one come to Iceland and not stay in Vik? We had a fabulous dinner at a restaraunt that was in an old white building, like a house, cannot remember the name. We had a delicious bread basket with fresh butter, pesto, and a red aioli. Dinner was trout and arctic char that was caught locally. For dessert we shared an amazing apple pie that had a tiny bit of crunchy morsels in the streusel topping with a side of ice cream. It was top notch.

The black sand beach was amazing but other than that and it being a convenient stop for folk visiting the glacial lagoon and diamond beach, we preferred other locations in Iceland.
The area along Route 1 is quite commercial with a large hotel and apartments, a shopping complex and a gas station. Unfortunately the guesthouse we booked into was sub-par and we were so keen to leave we didn't venture into "old Vic", so can't really comment on that part of the town.
Of the places we stayed in Iceland, Vic was our least favourite in terms of access to other key attractions in the area, but we were there in September in some questionable weather so can't really comment on hiking opportunities or anything.

Vik is a cute town and the beach/rock formations and church are beautiful. We ate at Wok in Vik which was very good--and from there you can take the path to walk to the beach. It would have been great for Northern Lights viewing but was too cloudy when we were there. It is about a half day visit unless you decide to do horseback riding or other tours.

A lot was happening in this small town.
A lot was happening in this small town. Besides the iconic black sand beach, there were many restaurants, shops and markets. Several tours met in the town which made Vik a convenient spot to stay. We stayed only one night, but could have easily spent more time there.

The Smidjan brewpub provided excellent beers and delicious food. Vik has several helpful stores, including a hardware store, a grocery store, and the large Icewear store. There were several phenomenal hikes in the area (Reynisfjall mountain and Black Sand Beach right from town), and the Solheimajokull glacier and Kirkjufjara Beach a short drive away. We had a car, but it was easy and convenient to walk everywhere within Vik.
Hands down the best place where I stayed at.
Calling it hostel is reductive because it looks more like a 4 stars hotel.
- facilities are top notch: very big, modern and equipped kitchen, modern toilets and showers.
- Friendly staff
- Comfortable beds
- Everything was so clean
- Amazing location and view
If you want a gem during your stay in Iceland go to The Barn.
The hotel is beautiful. The staff are fantastic, the food in the restaurant is delicious, the restaurant itself is a fantastic room very high ceiling with a great view out to the cliffs behind the hotel. Bar area is nice and cosy with the drinks made also very very good. Breakfast was the best we had in Iceland by a long way.
The facility of the Guesthouse is excellent. We were so lucky to get a "very very budget price" to rent this excellent guesthouse at Vik.
The lady owner is very nice. She prepared waffle batter for us for the morning breakfast. She also provided homemade jam for us.
This is the best Guesthouse during our stay at Iceland.
The hotel is well located between Reykjavík and Jokusarlon glacier lagoon and few minutes to Reynisfjara beach and Dyrholaey beach where we were able to watch puffins. The rooms have a beautiful view (glacier or beaches). Big room. Good breakfast. Inclusive Iceland’s bread. No fees for parking.
