cami_m07Worst hotel i stayed in Iceland
Terrible, terrible spot to stay. It looked dodgy and straight out of the 1980s in the worst way. The parking/drop off situation is also not ideal as you need to unload your luggage about 20 feet from the hotel. It…

We were booked into this hotel by our bus operator. When we arrived I said that this felt like a school. Well, it IS a school. Apparently the 'Edda' hotels in Iceland are all boarding schools that are turned into hotels…

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Hotel Edda Egilsstadir
What time is check-in and check-out at Hotel Edda Egilsstadir?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Hotel Edda Egilsstadir allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Hotel Edda Egilsstadir?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Hotel Edda Egilsstadir have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Hotel Edda Egilsstadir have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Hotel Edda Egilsstadir?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Hotel Edda Egilsstadir?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
