Fantastic location in the town near the beach opposite of microbrewery
Hotel Katla is located in South- Iceland, 5 km from Vik i Myrdal. The surrounding South Coast is a land of dramatic landscapes and unforgettable natural treasures, all within easy reach.

Everything was absolutely amazing. All the staff was super helpful. My room was large, the hot tub was surprisingly amazing and relaxing after a long trip, great breakfast with a lot of selection.I will definitely come back in another opportunity to Iceland. Thank you for all the assistance.

Great little charming town in the middle of nowhere. close to Dyrholaey, the Black Sand Beach and many waterfalls and glaciers. Excellent base for southern coast. Has everything you need including a few great restaurants, grocery store, liquor store(very expensive), and store for outdoor wear if you need it.

How can one come to Iceland and not stay in Vik?
How can one come to Iceland and not stay in Vik? We had a fabulous dinner at a restaraunt that was in an old white building, like a house, cannot remember the name. We had a delicious bread basket with fresh butter, pesto, and a red aioli. Dinner was trout and arctic char that was caught locally. For dessert we shared an amazing apple pie that had a tiny bit of crunchy morsels in the streusel topping with a side of ice cream. It was top notch.

The black sand beach was amazing but other than that and it being a convenient stop for folk visiting the glacial lagoon and diamond beach, we preferred other locations in Iceland.
The area along Route 1 is quite commercial with a large hotel and apartments, a shopping complex and a gas station. Unfortunately the guesthouse we booked into was sub-par and we were so keen to leave we didn't venture into "old Vic", so can't really comment on that part of the town.
Of the places we stayed in Iceland, Vic was our least favourite in terms of access to other key attractions in the area, but we were there in September in some questionable weather so can't really comment on hiking opportunities or anything.

Vik is a cute town and the beach/rock formations and church are beautiful. We ate at Wok in Vik which was very good--and from there you can take the path to walk to the beach. It would have been great for Northern Lights viewing but was too cloudy when we were there. It is about a half day visit unless you decide to do horseback riding or other tours.

A lot was happening in this small town.
A lot was happening in this small town. Besides the iconic black sand beach, there were many restaurants, shops and markets. Several tours met in the town which made Vik a convenient spot to stay. We stayed only one night, but could have easily spent more time there.

The Smidjan brewpub provided excellent beers and delicious food. Vik has several helpful stores, including a hardware store, a grocery store, and the large Icewear store. There were several phenomenal hikes in the area (Reynisfjall mountain and Black Sand Beach right from town), and the Solheimajokull glacier and Kirkjufjara Beach a short drive away. We had a car, but it was easy and convenient to walk everywhere within Vik.
One of the best host in Iceland. If you traveling to Vik a Must have as a Gesthouse.
We did get a lot of recommadtions and tips for our travel. The Host was super friendly and we Could easyly Talk over everything. 10/10
Ideally located hotel in Vik as a stop over so that one can visit beautiful south of Iceland. Clean room and helpful staff. Recommended. Good breakfast. One of the black sand beaches is within walking distance.
Room was nice and the staff were really nice. I think for what you get compared to other hotels in Iceland this hotel is lagging behind. No spa etc and gym was awful
