Hotel berhampiran Vik Church, Mýrdalshreppur

Great location and beautiful building! Plenty of bathrooms and showers - although at peak times only cool water was available in the shower. The bedrooms were well equipped but way too hot on a sunny day. Be aware that the rooms have no locks and there is no place within the shared rooms to lock up your belongings, although there are lockers in the hallways. The bar has nice but expensive drinks. Surprisingly not social for a hostel with a bar - there were a lot of families and groups seemingly staying.

Black Sand Beach was superb for holiday, the suite was equipped with almost everything we need, definitely will come back again on my next holiday trip.

We stayed here as the mid-point stop on our way to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. It is true that because it’s one of the larger hotels in the area, it is used by large tour groups, but that did not interfere with our stay at all. It is a roadside hotel, don’t expect any luxuries, but perfect for a one or two night stay. The rooms are very spacious and clean (because it’s a busy hotel, your room may not be ready before check-in time). The restaurant is large and they were able to accommodate us with no problem for dinner, and their breakfast buffet (included in the rate) is fantastic. It also has a great view. The location is great, close to Dyrholaey, Vik and Reynsfjara (black sand beach). Pro-tip: if you have dirty laundry, they will do it for you for about $25 per bag regardless of the size. I thought it was expensive so didn’t do it, and regretted it - everywhere else was either more expensive or didn’t offer the service at all. The staff works so hard - I saw the same person cleaning my room helping out at the restaurant, and everyone was very pleasant.

Located at the beginning of the town is this quiet guesthouse, where we were able to rest very well thanks to its comfortable facilities. The room was very spacious, clean and with a comfortable space to work on the laptop for a while. The shared bathroom was very clean, I liked that a lot. It also has a shared kitchen and a large living room with large windows overlooking the town where you can relax for a while playing board games. The place offers breakfast for a separate cost that you have to book. It was a good idea to rest here to continue our trip along the Ring Road, I recommend it.

提前告知我是honeymoon trip，因為對象睡覺容易被驚心，想要安靜的房間。然後被安排到走廊最深處超大超大的一套房 巨巨巨開心。感謝老闆的貼心 躺着看窗外的日落 很滿足的一次住宿。衞生也可以 早餐廳比較大，自助的品類很豐富了！是我吃過最豐盛的一頓三星級民宿的早飯了！ 值得安利！

Our family of 4 wanted to stay close to the Black Sand Beach, and make our own meals, so we decided to stay at the Puffin Hostel. The hostel is an older building, and has everything on the 1st floor; dining with plenty of seating, kitchen with a tall refrigerator & a couple of ovens with stove tops, sinks, separated showers & bathrooms. The room we had was on the 2nd floor (1st floor was common areas), and a small water closet was next to our room. In our room was hot (a window can be opened), and 2 bunk beds with towels and linen are present. Not many sockets on the wall, but we were prepared with double usb phone chargers. A grocery store is nearby & gas station (No man pump) & the Lava Show was a 5 minute walk from the hostel. Puffin hostel is in a good location, has a normal road (no gravel/dirt), plenty of parking, so if traveling the Ring Road on a budget, and VIK is on the travel itinerary, then here for 1 night works.

malgré un lieu sympathique et un personnel accueillant, nous avons vécus une mésaventure qui nous a laissé un gout amer. Coincé à l'extérieur de l'hôtel a notre retour de notre chasses aux aurores boréales suite a une coupure d'électricité. nous sommes rester environ 30 minutes dehors sans pouvoirs joindre personne. heureusement une cliente de l'hôtel nous a remarquée et a fini par nous ouvrir. une fois à l'intérieur j'ai essayé à plusieurs reprise le numéro qui était disponible à l'accueil mais rien à faire nous resté dans le noir. Au matin nous avons demander au personnel de nous faire rentrer en contact avec la direction, qui n'a pas daigner se montrer. au delà de l'inconfort occasionné cela pose un problème de sécurité majeur. en effet la porte électrique qui ne fonctionne pas lors des coupures de courants est indiqué comme une sortie de secours. nous déconseillons ce lieu.

The apartment was more spacious than we imagined, more than enough room for 2 adults and 2 children. Very clean and the laundry room was an extra bonus. Location was directly on 1 walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, black sand beach, etc. staff was very helpful even when we had a late check in. I’d highly recommend this place as a stop over between Golden Circle and Glacier Lagoon!

Check in were smooth and the hotel was located near a convenient shop. Breakfast was good and staffs were very friendly and helpful.
