Guest Reviews
Terrible, terrible spot to stay. It looked dodgy and straight out of the 1980s in the worst way. The parking/drop off situation is also not ideal as you need to unload your luggage about 20 feet from the hotel. It doesn't feel like a hotel either - it looks like it could've been a school in the past. Rooms are dingy and the bathroom looked dirty. Strongly suggest you stay elsewhere.
The hotel was not obvious to find, neither was reception. The building looked liked it was 1980s Eastern European.
I work in a school and this was definitely like a school! Somehow I had missed this when booking,
The room was very dated and to get your own bathroom, I think you had to book a 3 bed room?
Desks in the room and 80s curtains which didn’t pull totally across the window. However, we did have a great view of a lake.
Our bathroom was tiny and the shower was old and very tired looking. Neither of us wanted to shower in it, so didn’t. It did not look acceptable to use.
Basin and toilet were clean.
Beds were clean and with softer pillows, which I like. Had a good night’s sleep.
The lady on reception was super friendly.
There was no place to eat in the evening, except for a weird set up of soup and bread with free coffee.
Breakfast was basic but nice enough but staff not friendly at all.
If I’m honest, I couldn’t wait to wake up, have breakfast and leave. Very glad we only stayed one night.
Great location. Bed is comfortable. Room is big. Plenty storage room for personal stuff. The view of outside is great. From windows you can see river. Kitchen can heat the food for you.
No shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the bathroom.
We were booked into this hotel by our bus operator. When we arrived I said that this felt like a school. Well, it IS a school. Apparently the 'Edda' hotels in Iceland are all boarding schools that are turned into hotels over the summer months, That's also the reason that there's no TV in the rooms, but instead two desks, also no hotel bar. Breakfast is pretty basic, with water-like coffee and stale bread. If I booked myself I would never ever stay in an Edda.
La ubicación
El olor del agua, la cortina de la ducha se pega y no deja ducharte. Para ser una residencia de estudiantes no está mal, pero lo venden con tarifa de hotel.
This is dormitory that is converted into a hotel for the summer. Our two level room did have the beds promised and a small bathroom - but no blackout shades, the windows had no screens (most of Iceland does not have screens) and the room was full of biting midges (new to Iceland in the past decade) - Our 7 yr old was bite over 75 times! Outlets were hard to find, no mini fridge, the entry from the parking to our room was a long convoluted walk resulting in bags being carried up and down 1/2 flights of stairs. Of our 10 different stays in Iceland - this was our worst and I would suggest avoiding if possible.
The room was big, clean and it had a nice view, staff very friendly and nice.
Very small bathroom, with a fixed shower, also the parking far away and hard to bring your car closer to the hotel for dropping off the baggages
Rauhallinen alue hieman kaupungin ulkolaidalla. Omalla autolla kulkevalle ei ongelmaa. Huone hyvän kokoinen ja sänky ok.
Huoneessa ei ollut televisiota, hotellista ja huoneesta tuli mieleen "urheiluopiston" majoitustilat. Aamiainen ei sisältynyt huoneen hintaan, joka oli reissumme kahdeksasta majoituksesta silti kallein. Aamiaisen olisi saanut ostaa erikseen, mutta hinta tuntui aika kovalta. Kuuma vesi tuoksui kananmunalta, niinkuin oli kyllä etukäteen Islannista informoitu, mutta muissa hotelleissa kuuma vesi oli todennäköisesti lämmitetty kylmästä vedestä, eikä tuoksua niissä havainnut.
Mjög góð þjónusta
Góð staðsetning.
La comodidad de sus camas
The room has a lake view window and the staff was really kind
the room was too big for a family of three, with a dangerous staircase not suitable for small children which risk a high fall. the room was dirty, with bad furniture and the bathroom was really really small. The hotel itself smelled quite bad and the whole of it was really outdated

Efficient check-in with friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a place to crash after adventuring all day.
It was just a little too far to our room but, to be fair, that's always an issue the bigger the hotel is.
This was by far my worst night of sleep. It feels like a dorm and as it turns out, it is a dorm for a secondary boarding school. The beds were so uncomfortable, the pillows were flat and there were no extra pillows if you like more lift during sleep. The orientation of our room made it like a greenhouse - so warm. Open windows just invited in a swarm of gnats. Our curtains were so thread bare they were useless.
The one positive…it appeared to be clean.
