It amuses me that people book a certain hotel and expect something else, and owing to their lack of research proceed to give low ratings. The Edda website clearly states that this hotel has shared bath facilities and twin beds--so one shouldn't be expecting 5 star luxuries. This hotel is a perfect example of the creative re-use of school buildings... More

Stopped here to stay the night after a long day traveling from East Iceland to North Iceland (spending most of the day in Husavik area and then seeing Godafoss). In fact, I checked in at 10 p.m., exhausted, and woke up at 8:00 a.m. to leave for Akureyri. The hotel was great for that purpose -- a place to sleep,... More

We stayed in building to the west of the main building. The rooms are small and extremely basic. Uncomfortable, cold and unwelcoming. Doesn't offer much for 100 Euros/night without breakfast, however there are few other lodging options in the area. Some of the staff seemed uninformed and poorly trained-couldn't answer basic questions. Others were helpful and well-informed. The breakfast buffet,... More

My wife and I stayed at this sleepy little hotel for one night during our holiday to Iceland. I was not impressed. I am painfully aware of the high costs in Iceland, but for what we got out of it, this place would not be my first choice, should I have the opportunity to choose again. Here are the good... More

We booked a night here simply because of its location so we knew what to expect. The Reception desk is in the main building but our rooms were in a building back down the entrance drive and on the other side of the road. We entered a typical boarding school - functional but worn. Rooms were basic but reasonably clean,... More

I picked this hotel simply because it is the cheapest. This hotel chain in fact uses school dorm in summer. There is no private bathroom but at least there is a washbasin in the room. It is a comfortable stay. Breakfast is good!

We were in the second building which lacks the wifi connection. Showers and WC were in a rather small numbers (2 of each for the whole floor) and the room is quiet small, really looks like a student room (as this is probably one).

My husband and I visited family in Iceland and decided to do a drive round the country. We were looking for something cheap and clean. We have never tried this type of accommodation except for when we camped 2 years ago. I am often not keen on shared baths/toilets but we wanted cheap so that's what we booked. We booked... More

I have been quite disappointed by this hotel: very small bedrooms, tolet and shower very limited in number (and the shower was quite dirty and water coulnd't go away quickly). There is no free internet connection like in many other structures in iceland. All the hostels and guesthouses that I have been in Iceland were cheaper and better than this... More

The most known volcano in the world which blocked lots of flights across the world this year is just behind your window. Hotel is located in the school as all edda hotels. Rooms are spacious, shared bathroom. If you want to be as close aspossible to the volcano it is the best choice. Also Skogarfoss one of the biggest waterfalls... More
