Pros:

We were originally staying at another hotel that night, however, upon arrival our previously booked hotel was not up to our expectations. Thankfully we were able to book a room here on such short notice. The employee at the front desk graciously agreed to pack us a bagged breakfast as we were leaving early for a tour and would not make it in time for the breakfast.

Misrepresented the room as suitable for 3 people
Pros:

They misrepresented a room that was advertised or 3 people. The room was tiny and barely able to accommodate 2 people. The bed at the bottom of a bunk bed was supposedly to sleep 2 adults. It was really a less than double size bed in which they had put on 2 blankets. Unless you want to sleep with another person at very close quarters, have no room for luggage and no room to turn around, don't be deceived. We had to find another room at great expense for the 3rd person in our group.

We loved Vik and are glad we stayed there but wish a nicer, better value hotel had been available.
Pros:

Location, location. Vik offers a great base for exploring Southern Iceland. From the hotel, you can walk to a black sand beach with views of dramatic sea stacks. The Skogafoss waterfall, sea arches, glaciers, and the site of the 2010 volcanic eruption are all within easy driving distance. Vik has a grocery store, gas station, and other necessaries. The Troll Hotel is centrally located and was easy to find.

Cons:

The price was exorbitant—more than $500 per night for a triple-bed room. For that price, the room and amenities should have been luxurious. Instead, our room looked like a dorm or backpackers’ hostel. It was adequate but shabby with no decor. The window looked out on a trash dumpster.

Cons:

Le prix comme tout ce que l’on trouve en Islande. À force de faire tout payer par hôtel très cher, les gens est en train de tuer sa poule aux œufs d’or .
