Inexpensive, but the sound proofing of the room was very bad, people checking in at 3.30 am woke us up and we heard every single one coming and going. The bad was not great and the pillows aweful. The breakfast was very nice.

Great hotel! Clean and quiet. Free parking. They do serve breakfast for 3,400 isk per person and they have a dinner buffet for 8,900 isk per person. We thought this was a bit expensive but if you want food right there that’s an option. Would recommend booking a stay !

Its a fine property, but you really need to pay for the private room as this is also a college dorm. If you do a shared space it will be with college kids. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean and well maintained.

We were originally assigned a student room with bathroom down the hall. We asked for a better room and were transferred to the "hotel" side of the complex. The front desk staff was kind and very informative, almost entertaining. We enjoyed the area.

The property is great, but difficult to spot from the local roads; and the maps application took me to the wrong place (the school campus).
The rooms were spacious, so that was good!
Old school keys are interesting touch!

If you looking for basic accommodations, Hotel Edda is a good choice. Location is great. Parking is free. Sharing a bathroom isn't too bad; however, the walls are thin and noise travels quite easily.

Amazing Location, very convenient
Nice modern and clean hotel. It’s almost a suite with microwave and a fridge. Very spacious. Most of all, the location is very convenient. A few minutes walk to the church, botanical garden, and downtown. No need to drive to go to downtown.
