Summary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryHotel Vík í Mýrdal is a three-star hotel that seems to surpass expectations for many of its guests with some even suggesting it feels like a four-star hotel. The hotel's location is incredibly beautiful, providing a visually stunning entrance area. It's considered one of the best high-end options in southern Iceland and offers a good breakfast that stands out for a hotel in its category.
However, the experience can be mixed. Some rooms appear old and worn with dated decor and low ceilings, while others seemed outdated compared to their promotional photos. There are reports of cleanliness issues, including in the showers and beds. The air conditioning is often noted as inadequate and there are mentions of poor security features.
The facilities are fairly basic, lacking amenities like refrigerators and sufficient bathroom space. Rooms, particularly the standard ones and those not in the more modern "glass building," can feel small and underwhelming. The hotel seems well-suited for large groups like bus tours, which could affect the experience for individual travelers.
Despite the price, which some find high relative to the service and facilities offered, the hotel remains a decent choice within its range. It provides a reasonable standard and is a step above more rustic accommodation options like cabin camping. Overall, it's a great little three-star hotel, albeit one with room for improvement in several areas.
