Było super tylko krótko, przyjedziemy na pewno nastepnym razem

Hótel Eldhestar to miejsce, które w pełni zasługuje na pozytywną opinię. Zaczynając od obsługi, która zawsze przywita Cię uśmiechem i profesjonalizmem, po przytulne pokoje utrzymane w tradycyjnym islandzkim stylu. Restauracja serwuje pyszne śniadania, a personel zawsze chętnie doradzi w wyborze potraw. Co więcej, lokalizacja tego hotelu to prawdziwe arcydzieło natury. Otoczenie gór, pól i niezapomnianych widoków sprawiają, że każdy moment spędzony tutaj staje się niepowtarzalny. Dodatkowym atutem są liczne atrakcje oferowane przez hotel, zwłaszcza dla miłośników koni. Możliwość uczestnictwa w jeździe konnej to niewątpliwie jedno z największych doświadczeń, jakie można tu przeżyć. Hótel Eldhestar to idealne miejsce dla tych, którzy pragną zarówno relaksu w otoczeniu natury, jak i aktywnego wypoczynku. Polecam każdemu, kto marzy o niezapomnianej przygodzie na pięknej Islandii.

Clean, comfortable hotel with a nice included breakfast.

Clean, comfortable hotel. The included breakfast was well maintained by the staff and provided an array of options. The hot tub was a nice feature to relax at the end of a hard traveled day.Some family took part in horse riding and others were allowed in the barn to see/pet the horses.

One of the hot tubs was not fully full and cooler than desired.

Ein anstrengender Aufenthalt

Die Umgebung ist schön. Das Hotel liegt etwas von der Hauptstrasse weg. Es sind ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden und das W-Lan funktionierte gut. Die Vulkan Pferde sind wirklich großartig. Das Frühstück ist gut, es wird schnell aufgefüllt und auch die Auswahl ist prima. Die Betten sind hervorragend.

Unser Zimmer war nicht sauber. Unter dem Schreibtisch, lag eine Menge Staub und auch bildeten sich Wollmäuse auf dem Boden. Das Bad mit der Dusche, eine Katastrophe, Es ist eine begehbare Dusche, wie es in Skandinavien oft üblich ist, aber hier lief das Wasser über den ganzen Boden. Wir haben es der Rezeption mitgeteilt und es kam auch jemand, der uns einen neuen Duschvorhang aufhing, der bis zum Boden ging. Leider war es danach nicht viel besser. Das Zimmer war etwas spärrlich eingerichtet. Nur 1 Sessel, und ein Holzstuhl am Schreibtisch. Einen Tisch gab es nicht. Das Abendessen im Restaurant, war mittelmässig und teuer. Wir hatten Aussicht auf eine Baustelle, direkt am Hotel. D..h. der Lärm des Baggers und der LKW war von morgens bis Abends. Wir hatten auch das mitgeteilt, man meinte nur, man wüsste nicht wie lange die Baustelle dort ist. Die "Terasse" bestand aus 4 Steinen, alles krumm und schief, die Bepflanzung, alles war rausgerissen, und Erdreich überall. Das Hotel war nicht ausgebucht, aber man hat uns kein anderes Zimmer angeboten. Wir können das Hotel nicht empfehlen. Leider..Schade !

Un buen hotel para descansar.

La atención del personal es de 10. Así como el pequeño detalle de bienvenida de té o café caliente diario con galletas. Está bastante limpio y el desayuno es bueno para los estándares Islandeses (en España es más variado). Habitaciones curiosas basadas en nombres de caballos. Decoración rural.

Cogimos tres habitaciones. La triple tiene un sofá cama que puede resultar incómodo. Si bien la decoración es rural puede estar un tanto anticuada. Notamos mucha variabilidad dependiendo del ala de donde estaban las tres habitaciones que cogimos siendo algunas más modernas que otras o el acondicionamiento térmico, etc.

Amazing!

The location is perfect! Staff were truly so kind and helpful. Our room had a door to go outside which makes it convenient when you’re waiting for northern lights sightings. The hot tub was super relaxing. The hotel is also close to a small town from where you can walk 3,5 km to natural hot springs. We highly recommend this! Everything was perfect!!

Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis mit Möglichkeit, direkt am Hof auszureiten

Super freundliches Personal. Nette Zimmer. Jedes Zimmer hat den Namen eines der Pferde, die auf dem Gestüt gelebt haben :-) Frühstück war auch gut.

Good for a one night stand on the way to Southern Iceland

The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is very good and rich.

Overall, it makes a somewhat dated impression. The fact that we were given a not exactly large double room with a sofa bed and a very simple folding bed...all lined up in a row without gaps along the wall...as a 4-bed room, can be described as impudence...especially for this elevated price! There was practically no open space in the room, only a smaller closet and only a sink in the bathroom. We had arrived in the evening and there was no alternative. A part of the rooms show to the highway, so there is quite much noise when you keep the window open. Book your room to the quiet side of the hotel! Don't use the jacuzzi, it doesn't look inviting. Luckily we only booked one night!

Well located comfortable hotel offering great touring experiences

It's a really cosy hotel; my room was spacious and warm. The breakfast buffet was very good, including fruits, bread yoghurt porridge. I booked a horse trekking tour which was a fantastic experience, great guides and incredible scenery and I was able to combine this with a whale watching trip with all transfers included which is a very impressive arrangement. It's a convenient driving distance from Keflavik and the area is also convenient for visiting other nearby things like Thingvellir which is 30-40 minutes drive. There is also a hot tub but unfortunately I didn't get to experience it as the huge snowfall made it not possible to operate (out of the hotels control) so this would be nice to experience some other time! The onsite restaurant had very good food (the mushroom soup was exceptional) although was a bit expensive so I wouldn't be looking to eat there every night of my stay. There are some other restaurants in the town nearby and a supermarket which is convenient

great hotel and friendly staff

staff on reception and bar were very friendly and helpful. They gave us all the information about the area. We went for a horse riding tour which was very well organised from the start to the end. Ana who was the tour guide was very friendly and made sure everyone was safe and happy. Hot tub is a good addition to the hotel. We’re very happy with the stay.

Exceptional

It's been 3 years since I stayed. The hotel was still great. Breakfast is the best in Iceland(I've used over 20 hotels and guesthouses)

No hairdryer and radiator in the room(you can control your room's temperature by floor heater so not cold. Even it's hot if you are on maximum power. There is a tiny radiator in the toilet so it would be not enough to dry your cloths)

Not the best value for money

They provide a decent breakfast. The location is good as it's near two nice towns with things to do. The hotel was well heated. Our room was cleaned every day.

The room only had one lamp. There is a small television but only one channel. Our bathroom didn't have a tub and they don't provide a floor mat, so our floor was soaked most of the time. Also, the hot tub wasn't available because the controls were under snow. However, they're perfectly able to dig their electric car charger out of the snow, so I question this excuse.

Perfect for Northern Lights chasing

Location was lovely, slightly in the outskirts providing full glory to northern lights than polluted by typical city lights. Room was spacious and comfortable. Staff (a young lady manning the booth during evening) was also great as she notified us of the most beautiful Aurora we've witnessed during our trip, which without her call, we would never have caught it. Last, breakfast was fantastic, typical Icelandic breakfast spread and more (DIY waffles). We'd gotten dinner in the neighboring city so no comments to that.
