Perfectly located for us being close the Skogar area hiking that we explored. Especially pleased that there was a restaurant for dining and did not have to go searching for any after a long day of hiking. Accommodations and amenities were top notch.

Please note that there is not kichen just a microwave and a mini fridge for 16 rooms. We bought groceries before getting there and we couldn't use them. The picture on the accomodation shows an old kitchen which they not longer have. Nice breakfast and 20 min away from Vik.
