    Pillows were uncomfortable. We prefer thicker firm pillows. These were rather thin. Breakfast was not a great value, the waffle maker didn’t actually cook the waffles all the way through, even with extra time.

    Loved the location, especially that the botanical gardens were so close. Easy to find. Friendly staff. Rooms were good size, with tons of storage. Bathrooms (we were on the third floor) were incredibly clean and nice. Showers were large and had exceptional water pressure.

    4 floors with no elevator - carry your laguage yourself. Smallish room. Only one reading light and one electric socket by the bed. The shared bathrooms has a half stair in the entrance - banged my toe on it hard.

    Splendid breakfast with good variety. Big parking space.

    Bed was a little hard and the front desk was frequently crowded, having to queue up twice (once to check-in and once to check-out) could have gone smoother. Would prefer to leave the key somewhere in the morning.

    Room and shared facilities were clean, the hotel and surroundings were quiet. Loved being close to the botanical gardens and centre of town.

    Ordered a room for two adults and one 11 year old or three person room. Child got a very thin mattress on the floor and woke up with back ache. Also the price booking gave me wasn't correct. Had to pay extra for the awful thin mattress on floor. Am not happy with that and not going back.

    I liked the common room and the location.

    I stayed for 4 days and the room had shared bathrooms. The toilets ran out of toiletpaper too often. Very negative to have to ask for refill every day. Should be easy to fix properly. Too much noise from other guests so it would be a good idea to have signs wich signal "quiet hours" at the hotel. People were speaking out loud like they were the only people in the hotel.

    Friendly staff and responsive. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. Location was great for us because we were attending a football tournament at KA training facilities.

    Overpriced basic accommodation
    • Leisure trip

    • Economy Twin Room

    Room charges for this basic accommodation are the same as for the Kea or Icelandair Hotel and thus clearly too high.

    The continental breakfast was great with a wide choice of food. There is ample parking and the location is not too far from the "city" and next to a Sundlaug. Edda Hotels are basic student residences which is no problem for us.

    Dont like to go with my family and meet people that are drunk all the day as my neighbours. And as very common situation if you are drunk then you call your neighbours at 04:30 In the morning because you don’t know what is your room. Please never mix families with teenagers, even though they pay same. Or do not let drunk people in your business, to avoid situations like this.

    Super clean ! Breakfast amazing and staff from breakfast adorable 😊

    The standard of the hotel rooms was just too basic, first thought is that this has to be an old hospital or maybe dorm room at school (it is still my guess) I guess we could tell it wasn’t going to be super fancy rooms and with shared toilet och showers but this was just too basic.

    The breakfast was nice.

    I wish that the hotel had been less busy with tour groups, as breakfast was crowded. It seemed like being on a huge cruise ship. It's probably best to go down to breakfast right when it opens, to beat the crowds.

    The staff were very helpful to us. The front desk manager allowed us to use the phone to contact whale watch company about a cancellation due to bad weather. We loved our room, which was large, clean, quiet, had comfortable bedding, a good shower, and overlooked a wooded area near the botanical garden (highly recommended, by the way). The morning breakfast buffet was worth the cost, as there was a variety of hot and cold dishes and plenty of options for vegetarians like my husband and me.
