Location and Landmarks

Hotel Edda Akureyri is located in Akureyri, Iceland's second city and capital of the north. It is 5 km from Akureyri Airport. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the town center and the Eyjafjördur Fjord shore. Landmarks nearby include the Centre for Visual Arts (0.5 km), Hof Cultural and Conference Center (0.5 km), and the Christmas House (1 km). The hotel is also close to Arctic Botanical Gardens and Catholic Church. A number of museums are nearby, including the Folk Museum, Natural History Museum, and Nonnahús, the home of Jón Sveinsson, a well known Icelandic children's author. Akureyri Botanical Garden and Hlidarfjall reflect the area's natural beauty.

Hotel Services

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and facilities for disabled guests. A small café is available in the lobby. Safety features include a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, a security system, and a first aid kit.

“The hotel positions itself as a budget-conscious base with practical proximity to Akureyri's attractions, including the appealing Botanical Gardens; I noticed some discrepancies in cleanliness and room amenities, however, the communal lounge and geothermal facilities add value. While some may find the accommodations basic, its location for exploring northern Iceland and the fjord is a definite plus. For travelers focused on seeing the region without high frills, it's a viable option.”
