Good experience at Guesthouse Carina. - Good, spacious room with everything necessary.
Necessary. Double window overlooking Vik.
Common areas: two bathrooms, one slightly better than the other, were okay. The kitchen was not great; it was... read more small, there was no stove, just two microwaves, and a table with four chairs. We managed to have dinner at the table, but breakfast the next day had to be in the room.
There is also an ultra-modern room with tinted glass where breakfast is served for a fee. We did not understand if it could also be used for dinner. Overall, a good experience.

  Expensive but fine guesthouse - Staying in Vík is quite expensive, and this was the cheapest option for us. As a result, you do have to take into account a shared bathroom and toilet. We... read more were in room 1 on the ground floor and shared the bathroom with another room, which was ultimately fine to do. The bathroom was neat and clean.

Breakfast is not free, despite the fact that it is sometimes described that way; it costs about €20. The location of the guesthouse is really perfect in Vík, everything is close.

A disadvantage is that the guesthouse is very noisy, so you can hear other guests well. All in all a great option if you want to stay in Vík and be a bit more affordable.

There was something for everyone at breakfast. Breakfast is homemade.

The room, shared bathroom and kitchen were amazingly clean even though there a lot of people coming in and out, indicating that it is properly maintained. We got a big room and very comfortable bed, also big clear window. We were not opted to have breakfast at the house, but brought our own from Kronan shop nearby and had our meal at the communal kitchen. In addition to our comfortable stay, we are lucky to witness the aurora early at 7pm just outside our room.

Overall, this guesthouse is a fantastic choice for those looking for affordability without sacrificing comfort, all while being close to Vík's beautiful coastline.

  Great value accommodations in Vik  - Great location – on a quiet residential street just off the Ring Road – with parking in the front. The guesthouse is a “traditional looking” 3-story building with a large,... read more beautiful glass addition in the rear that serves as a breakfast room in the morning and a lounge/common area during the rest of the day. I stayed in a single room. As advertised on the web site, it was rather small with limited storage for clothes and it had a shared bathroom, but everything in the room was bright and clean, the furniture was in good shape, the bed was comfortable and there were plenty of electrical outlets. The window had blackout curtains which would be especially important in mid-summer. The bathrooms on my floor (of which there were several) were also clean and readily available. There was a communal kitchen adjacent to my room and guests respected the 10 pm quiet time so there was no noise coming from the kitchen by the time I was ready for bed. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection but waffles were the only hot item available. Also, if you want to have breakfast, be sure to let the staff know the night before, especially during the off-season. The host was friendly and recommended several restaurants in the area for dinner.

  Like staying at a friends', would definitely book if in Vik again  - The stay at Guesthouse Carina was like staying over at a friends', or a family member's house. As soon as I stepped in the door, I got homey vibes and... read more my room really exceeded my expectations. My room was on the ground floor between one toilet and one bathroom which I thought was great, and all bathrooms and the toilet were clean and inviting.
I did hear people talk outside the door, but not to a degree that it was disturbing me. There was a pair of ear plugs on the shelf, so it seems they are aware that some guests are more disturbed by people talking outside their doors.
I hadn't booked my stay to include breakfast initially, but on the day of check-in I got an offer to book breakfast for 1900 ISK, so I did. The breakfast was served in the glass patio, which had a beautiful view of Vik and the black sand beach and the breakfast was really good. I loved the homemade Icelandic rye bread, it tasted like gingerbread cake!
If I ever go back to Vik, I will definitely try to book a room at Guesthouse Carina again.
