Things I wish I knew before booking this HOSTEL:
- there is nowhere to lock your things. The doors to the dorms don’t have locks, and there are no lockers anywhere.
- it’s not really walk-able to Vík. It’s a long highway with almost no shoulders to walk on, no lights and really strong wind.
- the kitchen is really nice. there’s no hot water for dishes, but there’s two sinks, two ovens, and tons of dishes and cookware.
- the reception desk was not very friendly. It might have been one person having a bad day, but it wasn’t a great first introduction to the hostel.
- if you’re looking for a very social hostel you might be a little dissapointed. There’s a little socialization, but less than I’ve had at other places.
- I recommend renting a car if you’re staying her or in the area. You CAN bus, but it would really suck.
- all the dorms are have double beds and honestly they’re so comfy. They have privacy curtains that block out all the light even if other people are awake.
