Hotel Edda Akureyri

The budget rooms were full and we were upgraded to rooms with bathrooms. They were spacious, clean, with small kitchen, TV, and quite luxurious compared to other accommodations. I would highly recommend spending the extra money for these rooms, as the quality was much much better than the typical student dorms this hotel chain provides. Located up a hill from town center - we drove rather than walked, but in good weather it is probably walkable.

No - this was the best budget accommodation we found on our trip.

These are student rooms, so very basic, but the beds were comfy, plenty of storage space & everything was ultra clean and tidy. None of us had to queue for a shower or use of the shared bathrooms. There's a common room with 2 pool tables, music system and a grand piano. Lots of settees around the common areas to relax. Breakfast was basic but plentiful. Really lovely, helpful staff. Situated 5 mins walk from Akureyri, a lovely town. Really great value for money in what can be a very expensive country.

The hotel is located in a good position close to the city center (5 mins walking) and to the botanic garden one of the most interesting things to see in the city. The staff was really nice and helped us with any request even when not directly related to the room we booked. We stayed in a cheap double room with a washbasin but without bathroom. The room was clean and wide enough to keep our luggage and stuff. Overall for the cheap price we pay the service was good.

cheap and nice

Fairly central, although up a hill - but that can't be helped

Would have preferred a shower / bathroom in the actual room.
