This is a hostel, not a hotel or guesthouse. Rooms were up a very steep stair. One toilet for the entire floor, and it ran out of t.p..Shower is downstairs. Big enough and clean, but the drain backed up. Not good. Kitchen was nice and big. Common area was good.

This was my first hostel experience. It was great!

The rooms and common area are not top modern, but then again the building itself is old and preservable, so I am happy with my stay. Actually I also stayed a night in 2023 and who would go back if it was not worth it. Within walking distance from Reynisdranger beach. The breakfast restaurant is well worth it.

Very small old building, doors were short, my son kept bumping his head, bathroom was not on same floor and stairs were very steep. Bathroom ran out of tp. Very loud! Everyone echoes through the building, can hear everything.. doors slamming all night long. Did not get much sleep at all.
4.0 / 5.0
The place is really cute and has a lot of character. The rooms are really clean and the place has everything you need. It's centrally located but just beware that there are no puffins lounging around. If you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs because the house is pretty creaky.

The town of Vik is amazing and worth a visit. The Hostel was ok, a little noisy in the evening, but was a clean place to sleep.

I got the room with the two bunk beds but the best was horrible! It felt like I was sleeping on a rock.
The kitchen was fully equipped with stuff which was great

The hostel is located in an old building, which has not the best possible layout for a hostel. All the bathrooms are located on the ground floor, as well as the toilets except for one, while the bedrooms are on the two upper floors. The stairs are really steep and the place is not suitable for people with any mobility restrictions. The rooms were small, but clean. You could get breakfast at a reasonable price from the hotel next door.

For a small price, the Puffin Hostel was lovely. Definitely an older building where you can hear others walking around, but the room was nice and clean and great for our stop through Vik!

Nice location and the rooms are clean

Smells like old house but is good staying for a night, and rooms are in the second and third floor, bathrooms are small and washers are fine, in general is just good for the price and a clean hostel.
5.0 / 5.0
Property was great ! Very good free breakfast especially since Iceland is expensive.
Next door is a hostel to stay at which has a living area and kitchen too if the rooms are booked fully.

The reception of arrival was far from warm. The condition of the main staircase was not really great, narrow winding steps and a banister that was unstable. The rooms are basic, to be expected in a hostel, and the beds comfy. Staying with other hostel guests who left their rooms doors open made the stay slightly uncomfortable.
3.0 / 5.0
Very creaky building where even the slightest noise will be heard by everyone. The restrooms are quite small and on the floor I stayed on there was only one. Kitchen and dining area were incredible but the room felt like I was in a mental asylum… and to add, my sheets were dirty and stained, I slept fully clothes as I was uncomfortable from touching the sheets. Location was convenient tho. I did the Katla Ice Caving (with Troll expedition) and the pick up point is right across the street.

Ok accommodation, rooms are tiny and its quite noisy at night as the walls are paper thin. The kitchen area is well equipped and there is a communal area to relax in.

An old building located at Vik town. Our room on Level 3 and the only way was to climb up a spiral staircase. It was really a challenge for us to bring up 2 L Size luggages to the room. The room is narrow and beware of the door height which easily hit your head.
2.5 / 5.0
Great rate for simple rooms. We had a smaller room, but it was exactly as described. The hostel was very clean. And the common areas were very clean. Will stay again!

Not a bad place to spend a night, the bunk beds were loud every time you moved. Overall, I’d stay here again

Older building with narrow stairs to climb the 3 floors. Rooms were small, walls were thin, it was clean.
1.0 / 5.0
The room is too small, only 8x6 square feet,so it’s very uncomfortable. It didn’t worth it with the price. Also the staircase is too narrow and steep. It’s totally unsafe to travel up and down with luggage. Other than that everything is clean.
4.0 / 5.0
The hostel/hotel is clean and affordable though you must consider these are hostoric buildings and therefore old and small. Beach is beautiful (volcanic), the town is nice except close to the beach where many buildings need a make up and have scrap. Vik is a good stop for food and gas.
