Clear information to check in at puffin hotel. Nice, friendly staff. Great for one night stop overs which is what we did. Very comfy beds with lovely pillows and quilts. Good kitchen facilities to prepare and cook meals and several shared showers and toilet facilities which were very clean. Old building, but well maintained with colourful interior.
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.
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
Un guesthouse equilibrado, vale la pena hacer un paseo hasta la playa.
Debidamente equipado y con unas habitaciones correctas.
No destacaríamos nada, para arriba ni para abajo, OK 👌
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!
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.

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.
