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!

I stay at the Eldhestar whenever it is available. Being a photographer, I travel to Iceland a lot (19 times in the last three years). This hotel has the most bang for your buck. Great rooms, nice people, and you get to say hello to the horses each morning on your way out. Near the Golden Circle, Reykjavík, the south coast, and even a day trip to Jökulsárlón is easily doable. I always come back to Eldhestar, and will continue to do so.

The staff were excellent and very helpful! Check-in was smooth and they suggested dinner at their in-house hotel since we checked in the evening. Dinner took us by surprise, very good! Both the pricing and portion sizes are great, which is hard to find in Iceland. Breakfast is plenty with hot and cold options, lots of selection and buffet style. Free parking is also available. Lots of cool amenities that we unfortunately couldn't use due to time but they have hot tubs, horseback riding (extra), and much more!

All good: staff, hot bath outside (albeit a bit too hot!), very good breakfast, tea/coffee and cooking available in the lobby at all times, but the shower floor design is flawed: the water rolls into the room from under the door. And there is no fridge.
In general, very good for the price.

The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful with many options! The room could have been a bit cleaner. There was hair on the blanket and also on the shower wall, as if this had not been cleaned so well. The walls are also a bit thin, so make sure to bring ear plugs or use a white noise machine. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well. Overall a decent stay.

Clear instructions, generous size of room, clean. The hot tub was such a great bonus! Restaurant was excellent and offered a generous selection for the free breakfast (TIP: book a dinner reservation before checking in, if you can). Tea and coffee station was appreciated. The pillows and towels were less than stellar and the window coverings are not blackout. Note: there was no microwave or fridge in the room (which was tough if you have a cooler full of food for the rest of your travels).

My son and I spent three nights at this hotel. This is a hotel that caters to horse lovers and riders. Though we did not do any horse back riding, we did appreciate that each room was dedicated to a past or present horse on the premises. A plaque with the horse's name and other information was next to each hotel room. The room and bathroom were very clean. There is a restaurant on the premises for dinner and breakfast. The breakfast buffet was extensive and dinner was a la carte and delicious.

Check in was a breeze. The room and bathroom were very clean. The blankets on the bed were super warm. I did not come for the horseback riding experience, but i think anyone who loves to ride horses would be happy here.

It was such a lovely stay. The horses were a highlight of our trip. Upon having to leave a bit early the staff made us breakfast bags for the next day. That was so wonderful and ended up being our biggest meal of the next day due to travel issues. Highly recommend and wish we could of stayed longer.

Great property for one night stay. The staff is very friendly and the free breakfast was great with lots of options. We also ate dinner at the in-hotel restaurant—it was delicious and we particularly enjoyed the dessert.

Highly recommend this property especially if you LOVE horses. Staff was so helpful and check in was so easy. The beds were so comfortable and was a great stay for our family with small kids. The free breakfast had a great selection and their property is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this property especially for families with small children.

Very limited dinner and breakfast options for vegetarian and vegan. We ended up paying for an extra room even though my family members were comfortable to stay in the same room, this costs us extra money.

Overnight stay at Hotel Eldhestar

We enjoyed our one-night stay at Hotel Eldhestar. Our room was clean, staff were friendly, and the overall atmosphere was very cheerful. We went riding the next morning (my husband is not a rider!), which was also fun.

Our room was cold. The heat did not work despite claims by the staff that by turning up the thermostat, the floor would heat up. It did not. We had to leave the door open so that the heat from the hallway would warm the room but this was limited since everyone who walked by would look into our room. We were located as the first room down the hallway next to the lobby.
