Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Edda and found the location to be its biggest advantage, with convenient access to the surrounding area.

The hotel has a very traditional feel and is quite old. While it has its own character, the facilities are dated and do not offer the comfort or amenities you would expect from a modern hotel. The rooms were also quite cold, likely due to the older construction of the building.

One area that especially needs improvement is the curtains. During the summer, the long daylight hours made it difficult to sleep because too much light entered the room. Better blackout curtains would greatly improve the guest experience.

Overall, the location is good, but the hotel would benefit from upgrades and modernization

Cons:

Hotel trascurato, non valeva assolutamente il prezzo pagato, camera scomoda con la scala a chiocciola in mezzo, bagno e sopratutto doccia piccola, arredi datati e rovinati.

Pros:

Ubytování má 6,9 hodnocení, což popravdě nechápu. Jasně, není to žádný luxusní hotel. Ale když cestujete Islandem, tak jediným cílem je se dobře vyspat a případně (pokud nemáte vlastní možnosti) se dobře nasnídat, což obojí bylo splněno na jedničku. Ubytování je čisté, postele jsou fajn, na recepci byla sympatická češka a k tomu všemu Egilsstadir je fakt kouzelné malé městečko. Pokud máte půl den navíc, tak stojí za procházku, dát si někde jídlo, drink a zakončit to v lázních. Za mě tedy 10/10.

Cons:

Nic
