Hotel Edda Akureyri

I was a bit worried initially from some of the bad reviews but actually pleasantly surprised. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Yes it’s a university building some time of the year but actually really good. Highly recommend. Private en-suite bathroom too.

Rooms were ok, quite tight. TV in room was a pleasant surprise until we realized there are no channels. Cleanliness could use an upgrade - there was remnants of lipstick on the drinking glasses in the bathroom. Despite the above still giving 5 stars due to exceptional service. The front desk staff, specifically Kasper, went out of his way to try and help us brainstorm solutions for putting through an insurance claim for a chipped windshield. Thank you again!

Great room with private bathroom. It does not feel like a standard hotel because it is a dorm used as a hotel during summer - which is perfectly fine! When I had an issue with my room the manager helped me out great and went above and beyond what he was supposed to do! Thank you.

We have stayed in hotels like this before (college dorms turned hotel in the summer) so we knew what to expect. However the shared bathrooms were dirty, and had no soap, toilet paper, or paper towels and were not maintained.

This is indeed a student dorm. Shared bathroom stalls. Rooms are bare lacking even basic amenities like a tea kettle. Breakfast is 3400 isk per person extra. Seems like they have commercialized everything and just wanna make as much money as possible

they steal the money from your credit card, never give them your credit card when they ask it for "deposit"! We already paid in advance, at our arrival they requested the credit card "for guarantee", they said, but in reality they took 1074€ without any reason. Now they don't answer to the phone, they ignore my emails to reservations@icehotels.is and so I have to report the case of theft to the icelandic police

Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean, no elevator, but only a few stairs to access our room. Super spacious bathrooms!

This is a cozy place to stay, but doesn't have all the amenities and American would expect. The wifi is super fast.
