    It is difficult to get to the room with luggage, some rooms require you to had take a half flight of stairs. Only one way out, go the wrong way, and you get lost, no map. Parking could be identified better.

    Good location in town.

    The place was not very clean and the shower kept switching its temprature. Bit cheap for the price we paid.

    The hotel was fine. Beds were comfortable and the staf was friendly. The room had everything we needed.

    Way too expensive, too little value for money.... The hotel looks like (and probably is or it was) a students college , which is not in use during summetime and is therefore transformed in a hotel.. Room are spacious and beds comfortable, but the furniture is ruined and overall appearance is really basic. Overall it is ok a for a one night or short staying, but for sure it is too expensive for what offered. I have paid much less for luxury apartments in Reykiavik, so I would definitely adjust the prices .......

    The hotel is ok for one night staying, good breakfast

    The price was not worth the amenities as it was very basic. There was no hand soap in bathroom and the curtains could be better to block out light at night.

    The facility was clean and location worked for us.

    All good! We anjoyed our stay. Basic room but we know what to expect.

    The room was small, nice, basic, and comfortable. It is a dorm room during the school year and hotel in summer. This is common in Iceland and makes good use of the building! It is affordable, comfortable, and great for saving money on hotels when all you need a bed and shower. We travel this way in Iceland and this was a lovely hotel that fits.

    The overhead lights. The hotel uses dimmer switches and ours did not, at least, we could not make them work correctly. Two different rooms, same issue. Suggest replacing with standard on/off switches. Also, the shower curtains in both rooms needed attention.

    Ended up staying here 2 nights due to severe weather. Ring Road (Rt 1) was closed going both West and South. Egillsstadir is a nice little town to explore. Satisfactory for what we needed.

    There is a bit smelly and dirty (some old little towel left when we arrived) in the toilet of 1 room. (Another one is fine.)

    We are group of family (6 people) and booked 2 triple rooms which they managed the room to be closed as requested. The triple rooms have 2 levels (2 beds on the first floor and the other one on the second floor) which is really lovely. There are big windows to see the view which is different between first and second floor. The view from the room is beautiful. There are a lot of parking lot available, and we can temporarily park near the building to bring our luggages down first. The checkin and checkout process is easy.

    The room was extremely basic with absolutely no frills. The hotel generally looked a little tired.

    The location was great and it was comparatively cheap in Icelandic terms. Everything was very clean.

    Small and smelly bathroom (we did not use that shower…no way) Breakfast room was overcrowded (bus tours seem to use that hotel frequently) and selection limited (given the room rate) Clearly overpriced (even for Iceland)

    Central location (small town anyway) A lot of parking Comfy beds Would have been a perfect youth hostel accommodation (if not for the price: 280,- € per night)

    Good location between North Iceland and East. Decent breakfast, good value for the price. We stayed in a quadruple room, so it was close quarters but we knew that when we booked it. Front desk staff was very friendly.

    Although there is an elevator, many rooms still require ascending a flight of stairs to get to. Our room was quite small for fitting four people.

    Breakfast was great, with a variety of foods. Our room also had a nice view of the lake.

    We had to wait a while for someone to come to the coun ter to check us in and the signage did not match where our room was. We got lost in the many corridors twice!

    Every time I stay at an Edda hotel I have the best sleeps. The bed is comfy, and the room is nicely heated or cooled. This was an older hotel and was a little tired in some areas but we had a loft room giving us extra space for 3 people. This was a true 3-person room, not just an extra bed in a double room. The breakfast room was huge with a good selection of cold breakfast items.
