Hotel Vik i Myrdal

Hótel Vík í Mýrdal is located in the village of Vik in Myrdalur. It is nestled under sandstone hills and is embraced by magnificent natural surroundings. The views are stunning as you look out over the beach, to the sea and the Reynisdrangar Pillars, and experience the spectacular cliffs and birdlife where the puffins in Mt. Reynisfjall are only a stone's throw away. Myrdalsjokull Glacier stands guard over the region in all its splendor and there are adventures to be had all around. The hotel has 78 elegantly fitted rooms, decorated with Icelandic design and inspired by the natural environment.

Good location, clean rooms, great breakfast

Reviewed By Rain W

Stayed for one night on our counter-clockwise Ring Road trip. Hotel Vik i Myrdal is a pretty standard "hotel" unlike most accommodations we stayed at, which were guesthouses. We were upgraded to Superior Double rooms from the Standard Double rooms that we had booked. There's not really a view, but we did enjoy our rooms regardless, which was spacious and clean. La Occitane toiletries were provided. Vik is a good location to stop in because there are a number of food options, a grocery store, and gas stations. Reynisfjara (black sand beach) is a very short drive away. Breakfast was fantastic, although I didn't fully appreciate it until I finished the entirety of the Ring Road. Hotel Vik Myrdal had one of the greatest selections of foods, including scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausages (which I didn't see at any of the other accommodations I stayed at) and a large variety of fruits. Breakfast was offered from 7am to 10am. Would certainly stay again.

Great stop over South coast Iceland

Reviewed By Passport652685

Our initial room was very basic and in the old part of the hotel so we asked for an upgrade and for 80 euros extra we had a fabulous room with view of the Reynisfjara Rock outcrop. Beautiful room spacious and modern very clean and lovely bathroom. So I advise asking for an upgrade if possible. We ate in the hotel restaurant, lovely buffet and so much choice. Very good value and lovely helpful staff. Great hotel for 1 night if travelling along the South Iceland coast

Vik Apartments

Welcome to Vík Apartments, which opened in June 2018. We offer fully furnished apartments for short-term rent in the heart of Vík. The apartments are bright and modern and have a fantastic view, with spacious south terrace facing offering magnificent views over the black sand beach and the Reynisdrangar pillars. The hotel’s environment is magnificent, surrounded by mountains, glaciers and the sea. All of the South Coast‘s natural pearls are in reach, and in addition, the bird life is varied; here are among the largest Artic tern and puffin colonies in Iceland. The village Vík is also immensely beautiful, so it is ideal to take a relaxed walk around it on a mild evening after a good dinner at one of the many great restaurants in Vík.

Spacious and Modern Apartment in a good location

Reviewed By Hoppy_Chicago

This apartment was quite large and perfect for my family of 4. We were walking distance to restaurants, groceries, etc. The in-unit laundry was definitely a huge plus as well (bring or buy your own detergent). Check in/out was a breeze at the nearby hotel reception. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay at a great price

Reviewed By BenedictePedersen

Was very pleasantly surprised by this place. The stay was reasonably priced, the rooms were spacious and modern and the bathroom was huge. The only thing I can complain about is that there was no ventilation, so it quickly became humid and bad air unless you opened the window. (Which I prefer not to do when it's minus degrees). Beyond this, everything was absolutely great. The breakfast was small and cozy, and contained the essentials as well as waffles which were yummy. The staff was also very nice.
