Hotel Edda - Laugar í Sælingsdal.: "Hotel Edda - an Icelandic hotel chain." Top 5 Page for this destination Iceland Hotel Tip by Regina1965

Hotel Edda is a hotel chain all around Iceland and is only open during the summer time as they serve as a school during the winter time.

The rooms are basic, but lovely. I booked a room with only a washbasin in the room. There are showers and toilets in the corridors. There is a good closet space and the rooms are spacious. The only thing that was not up to par was the heating, there was some problem with the heating in our room and the staff at the reception was very helpful and came and tried to fix the radiatior. When they couldn't get the heating on they gave us another room on the next floor - but unfortunately there was no heating there as well. I guess this was only a temporary problem and that they had it fixed.

Unique Qualities: There is a swimming pool by the hotel but you have to pay extra for entering the pool as it doesn't belong to the hotel. Rather than using the pool I recommend you try out Guðrúnarlaug hot tub with natural geothermal water. I loved it and my main reason for staying at this particular hotel was visiting this pool. This area is a pure Viking area and this pool (a replica) belonged to one of the most famous women of the Saga Laxdæla (see my tip on Guðrúnarlaug).

The hotel is situated in a lovely walley and there are so many things to do and see in this area and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Check out their summer-offer - you can get a VERY good price on certain dates. I certainly took advantage of that and paid less than I would have at a guesthouse.
