The hotel is not in the town of Vik, but very close to the black sand beach, a five-minute drive away. The facilities are very comfortable, and it is the best configuration I have ever stayed in Iceland. My baby happened to have a fever at the time, so she rested in the hotel for an afternoon, and recovered the next day. I didn't take pictures of the room, but the interior is very warm, and it also has a kitchen counter. The hotel has a good view, and I also saw a beautiful sunset. After a night of rest, I continued on the road the next day with full energy.
Nice hotel property in beautiful little Vik. A very welcoming and pleasant staff greeted us. We chatted with the check in person plus bartender and both were easy to talk to and shared their experience of living in Iceland. The room was reasonably priced, comfortable and just right for our one night in town. The restaurant is situated so diners have a nice Mountain and church view, plus the food was very good. Breakfast buffet was way above average and included in the price. Our only regret was our lack of time we could spend in Vik, so many places, so little time.
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!

The room was clean and cosy. The temperature in the room was high. The breakfast was good and the overall services and shared bathrooms were satisfactory. There is a Krónan Supermarket nearby. It is a good place in Vík. The staff was very nice. The walls of the room were very cold (Room No.: 102). The kitchen and the main door were close to our room and the walls were thin, there was a noise that came into the room.
Self-driving Iceland did not do a Raiders map in advance, and booked this hotel. Breakfast is average, the health looks pretty good, but there is hair on the bed, and I don’t know if the sheets are replaced, and the surrounding mines are empty. The most unexpected thing is to take off the shoes at the door, but do not provide disposable slippers. Put a few pairs of dirty slippers at the door and say that you should wear slippers. If you have already booked it, you can't cancel it. Although I don't dare to book a hotel in advance during the tourist season in Iceland, I can live in the road after I experience it.
My visit to Vik, Iceland, will be etched in my memory forever. The hotel was a reflection of the spectacular land that surrounds it, with impeccable cleanliness and exceptional quality. The owner, a young woman who was attentive and friendly, made me feel at home. But the true spectacle was witnessing the Northern Lights, a phenomenon that defies description. This place was not just a stopover; it was the stage for one of nature's most magnificent displays that I had the privilege to witness.
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.
Hotel Katla is located a few miles outside Vik. There is a central building that houses the restaurant and a number of separate buildings with guest rooms. There is an outside hot tub and a small lake. The rooms are good quality and spacious. The breakfast room is large and the breakfast was fine although we often had wait for items that had run out to be topped up. There is plenty of parking on site.
The common kitchen is perfect and the kitchen utensils well organized. A little set back is the bath room. There is only two for seven rooms on the 1/floor which is a bit inconvenient
