1908 Hostel by Ourhotels

Great hostel, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is complete with kitchenware. And lucky me, i can watch northern lights in front of the hostel

Clean&nice

The location is great, the hostel is centrally located in Vik and that's about the only good thing I have to say about it. Oh, the man working in the reception in the hotel was very nice and the bed was comfortable. I'm too old to stay at places like this, that are more than basic. I advise anyone over 25 to look elsewhere for accommodation, and if you still think it's a good idea to book this hostel, pack light. I had to lug my suitcase up two narrow stairs to my cubbard. The room had a bed and a chair in it, nothing else. Outside of the room in the hallway was a small sink. The room had one electrical outlet by the door, and no ventilation. You could hear every word spoken by the unfortunates who joined me on the top floor of the building. There was a small toilet on the first floor, and the rest of the toilets (3 of them) and 4 shower stalls were on the ground floor. There were no sinks in the toilets on the ground floor, they were outside between the showers and the toilets. The showers turned themselves off after 30 sec-1 min which I didn't really have a problem with, I just kept pushing the button every now and then to have a steady stream going. I would have liked to have a shelf or a chair or something in the shower stall to put my toiletries and clothes on while I was showering. There was one hook in the shower stall. I payed way too much for a stay in such a basic place and I will not recommend anyone to stay here unless your other option is camping.

Strange single temperature shower - you have to continually push a button like a shower on a beach. There is no way to adjust the temperature and the water pressure is a dribble if someone else happens to shower at the same time. Comfy bed and affordable private room though. Bring an eyemask in the summer - there is no way to really darken the window
