Only negative feedback is they need better lighting in the parking lot. Other than that our stay was great. Large spacious room, comfortable bed and cozy comforters. Great filling breakfast!

The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Facilities in the guesthouse like the kitchen and sitting area helped us feel at home, On the day we had an early tour and could not get the free breakfast, the staff was nice enough to pack us a sack breakfast to take with us, which was so helpful! We were also able to see the northern lights one night from the balcony. Yay! Location was good as well, only 1 hour from Skaftafell National Park and about 1.5 from Glacier Lagoon. Just what we needed.

Overall a nice property. Breakfast was good. Has a hot tub as well which was nice. Horses were beautiful to wake up to and the option to the riding there is great. An older property though and the front desk staff could be more personable.

I rarely write reviews but Eldhestar deserves one. This suburban hotel is clean, with great view, conveniently located if you want to stay close to Reykjavik or along the golden circle. Through our window, we saw hundreds of horses. The hotel includes great breakfast, free coffee/tea and cookies all day. They also have a couple of outdoor hot tubs. The staff in the hotel is super friendly. We have stayed in 6 hotels during our trip in iceland, Eldhestar is the best, though cost the lowest! Great place to stay and can also take a horse ride tour!

Extremely clean and friendly. The hot tubs were perfect and the breakfast buffet even allowed for a little to go lunch. My only suggestion would be to add coffee makers in the room.
