We really enjoyed the experience. Horseback riding was fun and the guides were very well prepared and friendly. We enjoyed the food as well and the staff was very friendly. The bed was also very comfy.

My daughter chose this place as the first overnight stop in Iceland. It’s situated close to a highway and located near a gas station. The place is so clean and nice. We were given a room in their Guest House with a shared living room, refrigerator and with some kitchen utensils to share. There’s a selection of teas that was also there for the guests use. There are 2 shared toilet and shower and one toilet for the guest house. Towels are provided and shampoo/conditioner and liquid body wash. There’s a restaurant on site that served dinner but the breakfast is free. The selection is excellent, from waffles to cereal, drinkable yogurt, toast, a variety of bread spreads , jams, cold cuts to make your sandwich, eggs, bacon and sausage, fresh fruit and orange and apple juice. Too bad it’s winter otherwise they also have a horse farm to see. Highly recommended…

Stayed here in Jan 2020. The hotel is conveniently located for visiting the golden circle and is great value for money. The staff were marvellous, all smiles and polite. Room and bathroom were spotless and comfortable. In the bedroom there was a hairdryer, soap and shower gel/shampoo, TV but nothing more. The room had heated floor and a glass back door with great view, which were nice touches, unfortunately we didn't see the northern lights when we stayed. The hotel offers horse riding tours, hence the hotel premises and rooms are decorated with a horse theme which was neat. Tea and coffee and cookies were available and self service in the lobby. There was a hot tub but we didn't try it. Breakfast was adequate. Compared to other places we stayed at in Iceland I thought Hotel Eldhestar was awesome value for money and can wholeheartedly recommend it! …

Dear guest, Thank you for staying at Hotel Eldhestar and thank you very much for the very nice, informative review. Your comments will really help other guests with questions they might have. We are happy to hear that you found the hotel to be a great value for the money :) I might say, one reason we don´t offer any appliances in the hotel rooms is because we are eco-labeled by the Nordic SWAN and have to be quite strict with our water and electricity usage among other things. We hope you come back sometime and will hopefully get to see the Northern Lights while sitting in the hot tub! Best regards, Tammy

We arrived after check in time (the staff accommodated us) and left pretty early so our experience was short. We mainly picked this location as it allowed for an early start on the Golden Circle the next day. While we did not have interest, I would imagine coupling the hotel with their horse tours is a nice benefit. The rooms and the beds were nice and befitting of the horse farm. They also had an eco friendly approach. The hallway had a tile floor so in the morning you heard people rolling their luggage. The breakfast was disappointing, it was picked over by the time we arrived at 8:30 and nothing new was brought out while we were there.

Dear guest, Thank you for staying at Hotel Eldhestar and for taking the time to write a review and are happy that you enjoyed your stay...even though it was short. It´s great to hear that you enjoyed room and the comfy bed and hope you slept well. However, we are sorry to hear that you heard guests rolling their luggage. The tile floors were chosen due to the rainy, snowy conditions in Iceland as this surface is the easiest to keep clean and the most durable. I am also sorry to hear that breakfast wasn´t refilled, I will absolutely speak to the kitchen about this as this is not acceptible. Thank you again for the nice review and we hope you consider staying at Hotel Eldhestar if you return to Iceland in the future. Best regards, Tammy Front Office Manager

This was a nice place to stay that is still close to Reykjavik. We stayed here to ride the Icelandic Horses and were not disappointed. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. It is always nice to have an onsite restaurant but we only had breakfast there so I can't comment on their dinners. Our rooms had a view of the horse pasture and we could watch as the brought the horses in for the night and moved them back out in the mornings. Hveragerdi is also a cute little town that was pleasant to visit. It is a good value for someone looking to be close driving distance from the city (Reykjavik) but not wanting to spend the price.
