“Great stay at a lovely hotel with friendly welcoming staff”
Location was easy to find and the Hotel staff were all really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really good with a lovely selection to choose from giving you a good start for your day. We even booked a family trip with the Icelandic Horses which are operated from the Hotel too. We were lucky to have two really good guides Jule (from Germany) and Emily (from Sweden) who looked after our group and really supported our two boys to have a great afternoon despite the freezing wind. They both really helped make it an unforgetable experience.

“Location”
Good location, in or out of the golden circle. This was just a good spot for us...for others it's all about riding and horses. Nice breakfast, everything nice and tidy.

Excellent place to stay when driving Highway 1. Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast buffet. Room very comfortable and clean. Went into hot tub under the stars as full moon rose. Even saw the northern lights. Highly recommended as a top place to stay.

I am biased, as we were in the guesthouse and there was nobody else there, so we ended up having a massive space for ourselves. 4 individual beds were clean and comfy

“We actually stayed at the Hotel Eldhestar, clean room, lovely staff, excellent dinner (artic char)”
The staff is lovely, helpful and professional. We had a very nice dinner at the hotel, the artic char was excellent (I also got gluten free bread). The rooms are comfortable and clean. We stayed one night as we had to continue our drive, I would have enjoyed staying more nights. Very pleasant stay.
