Disliked: Cleanliness
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 accom
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.

Great stay!
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!

Didn’t worth the price
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.
