Staff, room, and food were all amazing and the location is at the base of the Golden Circle. Look no further!

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.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the huge room that we got for a family of four with views of grassland and horses grazing right outside the room. The breakfast was great.

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.

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!

We enjoyed our stay along with the meals (complimentary breakfast). Everything was comfortable and the staff were helpful with road and weather conditions. We also rode the horses, which was very enjoyable.

The hotel is closed to a farm with many horses running and playing in the field. The hotel is clean and the room is bright. The room has a private washroom. The hotel provides free breakfast and dinner is available. Parking is easy. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again.

Beautiful play to stay a bit off the road so it isn't loud from the traffic. Room was perfect for our stay, staff was friendly and they had gluten free bread to go along with the delicious breakfast.

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.
