"Staff was not very welcoming. Young man working the check-in, in a t-shirt, seemed as if he could have cared less that we were staying. If this was my business, he would no longer be employed. The room was bare basics. No mini-refrigerator to store my meds. I ordered 1-queen size bed, the room we were given had two twin beds. The surrounding area had absolutely nothing for bars, shops, or restaurants. Won't go back!"
"What an amazing view from the front of the hotel! Our north-facing room also had a great view. We stayed here in April 2026 on a cloudy and somewhat rainy day. The building is long with a lot of rooms. There is a restaurant, but we opted to drive to Vic for dinner. The breakfast was great. Wifi was a bit spotty but worked overall. Our room was a good size. There were no outlets next to the sides of the bed (plenty in the room though), and there were lights positioned right over the pillows, a real ouchie if you forget. The walls are a bit thin, but our white noise app helped with that. Overall, a great stay outside of the town of Vik."
"We loved the hotel! The desk staff was incredibly helpful, with information and recommendation about hikes and activities, and accurate information about driving time which helped us plan our days. The hotel alerted us during the night when the Northern Lights were visible -- we were delighted to be able to see them!"
