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 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.

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.
