Icelandair Hótel Vík
HOTEL

;
Klettsvegur 1-5;d from Ikr24,500; )
This sleek, black, window-fronted new hotel is improbably tucked just behind the Hótel
Edda, on the eastern edge of town, near the campground. The hotels share a lobby (and
have the same friendly owners), but that's where the resemblance ends. The Icelandair
hotel has suitably swanky rooms, some with views to the rear cliffs or the sea. The light,
natural decor is inspired by the local environment.

;Sigtún 5;B&B per person without bathroom Ikr9900; )
German Erika is a warm hostess with a lovely panorama-filled house and a couple of guest
rooms. Her highly praised breakfasts feature homemade jams, syrups and herbal teas
(many for sale). Bookings essential; cash only.

www.hoteledda.is
;d with/without bathroom Ikr24,500/21,700; May-Sep; )
With a lengthier opening season than most Edda hotels, this modern place on a busy spot
near the Icelandair Hotel and the N1 petrol station has unmemorable but decent rooms, 31
of which have phone, TV and bathroom, and 10 cottages with en suite bathrooms.
Puffin Hostel
HOSTEL
( 487 1212;
www.vikhotel.is
;
Víkurbraut 24a;d/q without bathroom Ikr21,600/29,200)
It's pricey for what you get, and probably best only as a last-ditch place to stay, but this
century-old hostel operated by Welcome Hotel is very central. Walls are thin, everything's
small and cleanliness spotty. Guest kitchen. Towel and linen included, but blanket costs
Ikr800.
Welcome Hotel Vík
HOTEL
( 487 1212;
www.vikhotel.is
;
Víkurbraut 24-26;d/q incl breakfast Ikr32,300/44,500; )
This busy complex of basic, pebble-floored rooms is packed in high season, often by tour
groups. Prices are a bit stiff for what you get, but all rooms have tea/coffee-making gear.
Occasional deals on booking.com. Its
Restaurant Lundi
is popular among visitors.
