3 Star
Vík Cottages offers cozy and charming little cottages that serve as a satisfactory stopover for travelers passing through the area. Guests appreciated the warmth and coziness of the cottages, highlighting their suitability for short stays. The cottages are conveniently located next to the main Icelandair hotel, which can be quite efficient for check-in procedures despite initial confusion about the process.

However, the overall price-performance ratio has drawn some criticism. Many felt that the price was quite steep, especially given the views, which are mostly of the town or a parking lot, rather than the scenic vistas suggested by the photographs. Additionally, space within the cottages, particularly the bathrooms, was noted to be on the smaller side, which might be a tight fit for guests with larger luggage.

Breakfast, if not included in the rate, felt expensive to many, adding to the perception of an already high cost for the amenities offered. Despite these concerns, the inside of the cottages was described as lovely, making them quite sufficient for a night's stay albeit at a higher cost.
