Fantastic 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!

GreatStayed with partner
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.

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

FantasticStayed with friends
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.

Great staff, breakfast was good, free drinks. gave us an older room maybe? Stains on our beds, did not upgrade my room which other hotel usually will do with my Expedia benefit.

FantasticStayed with kids
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.

Fantastic 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.
