Las camas eran comodas y la ubicacion buena
Muy pocos baños. El area de duchas muy mal, juntas las de hombres y mujeres. Te tienes que duchar y cambiar en un cubiculo pequeño con solo 2 colgadores para las cosas. Muy caro

Good location near restaurants and brewery. Room was very clean and beds were comfy, especially for a hostel. Private rooms were a nice bonus!
To get to the rooms, you have to take a tiny spiral staircase up at least one flight which was extremely difficult to maneuver with suitcases. Putting a photo of that staircase in the listing or mentioning it would be nice so people can repack to bring in one small bag. Toilets were freezing cold because windows were always open.

I think that a lot of people with complaints about noise and the bathrooms are not used to staying at a hostel. On hostel levels - this hostel is very clean, with a kitchen with everything you need and the added luxury of private rooms. It is an old historical building which felt really special.

This is a very clean and cozy hostel, the kitchen is well equipped and the rooms are clean and warm. The bathrooms, toilets and showers are clean and tidy. Staff are very friendly and happy to chat
The building is small and old so a bit noisy with people walking around. The common room is also small and with no board games, TV or books. If you have your own entertainment then this place is perfect to rest.

As expected, hostel with common room and catering facilities in a. central Vik location (not that it's a big town). Access to rooms simple and everything worked and was clean. Parking on site and next to the hotel of the same name for food if wanted.
The heating was on high throughout the building so only complaint was that it was super hot and so difficult to sleep.

The receptionist was very nice.
Our experience was not very pleasant. The building was very old, with very narrow spaces. The room was very small, there was almost no space for suitcases, and the beds were separated. Only one kitchen for the whole hostel, which was very small, messy and old. The showers were somewhat dirty.

We booked private rooms in the hostel. They were just as described, so we knew they would be small. I haven't stayed in a hostel for a while but this is really as nice as it can get. The rooms, bathroom and kitchen were clean. There was a common area to hang out and play some games. Everybody was very nice and the place had a good vibe. The location is also great, very close to the beach and the attractions around Vik.

Showers, toilets were great. Also the kitchen is very equipped and there is a spacious dining area! There is also a large parking area. The location of the hostel is great! There are also some good restaurants in the area, supermarkets and also tour hubs.
The Wifi connection was not good, also the rooms are extra small, we had to leave the big luggage in the car as there was literally no space.
6.0
Almost everything seemed very clean. Check-in/out was easy. The other guests were respectful - no noise disturbances. We slept well.
Our room was blazing hot, even after turning off the heat. The cleanliness of the shower floors was questionable. The narrow stairs aren't even as big as my average-sized foot. The upstairs WC didn't lock properly.
