Vik HI Hostel

Great location. Room had a great view of the ocean. Up on a hill. Breakfast included. Kitchen was nice and big. Close to the main vik area. really a nice cozy place with dogs, a cat and few bird species to keep you occupied.

Easy life Very comfortable atmosphere. Friendly guests and owners. Very cozy.

I’m writing this right from the hostel sitting on my bed (bench with a thin mattress on it) We had booked 2 nights but I have booked another hotel for the 2nd night as we will not be staying here another night. On arrival it looked ok, except noticed constant buzzing noise from air conditioning unit on wall in reception area. No one around to greet us just a note stuck to the reception window telling you to pick up a letter from the basket, this had details about room number etc. we were asked to remove outdoor shoes and leave in reception, there were flip flops /slippers available if you wanted We were in room 2 which was down some stairs into the basement. The room is tiny stuffy and smells damp. There are 2 very narrow beds which are more like benches with mattresses, you have to make your own beds up with bed linen that has seen better days a very long time ago. No towels have been left so we can’t shower, not that I’d want to as shower room is grimy and shower full of black hairs. Apparently there are only 2 bathrooms with integrated toilet so if they are in use and you need the loo you have to wait…a long time….because it seems they are constantly in use. This is in a building that can accommodate 20+ guests! The walls are paper thin so you can hear every movement and conversation from your neighbours and the constant comings and going’s from the bathroom by people clumping up and down the steps make it near on impossible to sleep. In fact take into account the smell of damp, old grey bed linen, blinds and door that don’t fit properly so the light seeps in, uncomfortable bed and pillow, dirty bathroom constantly in use, noise from neighbours next door and above, constant buzzing from air con unit (yes it can be heard from bedroom) a room so stuffy it’s making me cough I can’t wait for the morning so we can leave If it hadn’t been for the fact we have an activity booked in the area for tomorrow we would not have stayed tonight On top of this there is no one available to speak to about these issues so no chance of being refunded for a sleepless night. Oh well it’s now nearly 1:30am only 5 more hours to go Apparently the breakfast is good, we won’t be staying to find out

It was a delightful place to stay! We felt very much at home here but also got to meet people who live here. Fascinating history of their town, Staff were pleasant and welcoming as well. We had a car so it was not a hardship to get around and enjoy the sights and scenery. They were booked full, we shared a full bath. The breakfast in the morning was unique, filling...we could have stayed all day!

Non avevo grandi pretese quando ho prenotato in questo ostello,ma non pensavo potesse essere peggiore di così. Camera piccolissima con un letto infilato sotto il tetto spiovente roba che se di notte ti volessi fare il regalo di dimenticarti dove sei appena alzi la testa la sbatti e ti ricordi dove sei finita. Polvere ovunque inutile stare ad elencare i posti. Biancheria da letto che ti sfalda tra le mani se provi a tirare un po' più forte. Senza riscaldamento in camera a parte una ridicola stufetta elettrica che buttava calore quanto il mio sospiro,e finestra dal quale entrava un sacco di freddo. La cucina non l abbiamo nemmeno vista ,avevamo visto già abbastanza nella camera. Bagno pulito di notte un disastro la mattina. Uno dei due bagni presentava lavorI di ristrutturazione a quanto pare x cui avevamo un bagno in tutta casa. Colazione buona ma non a sufficienza a compensare la nottataccia passata. Tutto sarebbe stato giustificato se il prezzo fosse stato basso ,ma pagare 94€in due x un camera con bagno in comune con mezza casa mi sembra un po' troppo. Non posso fare altro che sconsigliarvi questo posto. Mi spiace ma è stata na bella fregatura. PS nonostante non fossimo in un hotel 4 stelle viene espressamente richiesto di togliersi le scarpe nell' ingresso principale e lasciarle li alla mercé di tutti.Lo abbiamo fatto nel rispetto delle regole però non e gentile nei confronti di chi vi sta pagando e anche bene

Guest House sympa sur la route de l'Est. Excellent et copieux petit déjeuner. Chambre petite mais suffisante pour une nuit. Manque de sanitaires pour le nombre client mais des travaux sont en cours. Cuisine commune bien équipée. Au dessus du tarif moyen constaté pour des prestations similaires. Bref, on peut s'y arrêter.
