Black Beach Suites, Vík

4.5 (16 reviews) Upscale
Sleek and modern self-service apartments with sea and mountain views, kitchenettes, and outdoor spaces

Overview

Located almost equidistant from the black sand beaches of Víkurfjara and Reynisfjara, Black Beach Suites surrounds you with the otherworldly volcanic landscape of southern Iceland. Reynisfjara is just a 5-minute drive, while Víkurfjara and the neighboring town of Vík are both 10 minutes away. You can find an array of restaurants, shops, and sites in Vík, making this an ideal stay for those who want a mix of seclusion and conveniences. Reykjavík is a little under three hours away, and the airport is just over three, so this is a convenient base if you're exploring Iceland along the Ring Road.

Two categories of rooms are spread across two rows of buildings: Standard Studio Apartments and Superior Deluxe King Studios. All have a modern style, incorporating black and gray tones to evoke the volcanic geography. The surrounding landscape of the sea and Dyrhólaey Cliffs is the focus, which you can enjoy from your private patio. If you're keen on having an unimpeded sea view, book a room in the front building. Standard Studios can sleep up to four on beds and sofa beds, and all options include dining areas, kitchenettes, and sleek bathrooms with rainfall shower heads.

While these are primarily self-service apartments, you can also indulge in some of the on-site facilities. There's a reception area, where staff will ensure you're comfortably checked in, and you can grab a drink at the bar after a day of exploring the area.

This hotel appears to be very chic and swanky. The rooms are very updated and feature a kitchen. Unfortunately, you could not lock the doors once in the room. I ended up putting our suitcases in front of the door to keep someone from coming in. They gave crazy directions about how to use an Icelandic lock but we stayed in several places that had plain old deadbolts. Would not recommend or stay there Read more

Fix the locks - all the fancy in the world does not make you safe. Also no breakfast provided

This place is so stylish and modern—very nice! It has a great little bar to unwind. If you’re traveling with a larger group, it’s a good idea to book the same type of rooms so they can be put next to each other. The whole property is broken up into a few different buildings. Some only having 4 rooms. We had a standard room and one with a bit more flair, but they were in different buildings. With kids needing to split up, that was a bit of a challenge.

Beautiful setting and very nice room with a view.

Authenticity & Character
Modern facilities. So not a lot of character but very nicely appointed room.
Location
The hotel is located on the west side of the mountains that sit above Vik but is close enough that driving into Vik for dinner was easy.
Staff
Staff was polite and helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Comfortable bed and nice shower. Quite a bit of room, too. With a nice deck.

This hotel is a great location. The hotel overlooks the Black Sand Beach and the view is wonderful. You can walk to the Black Sand Beach from your room. The rooms are spacious and had a small kitchenette which was nice. There is not restaraunt on site but Vik is just 10 minutes away. I recommend the Black Pizza as it was great. The hotel does offer coffee and pastries for purchase at the main house. Read more
