Hotel Eldhestar

The radiant heated floors were great! Unfortunately, my room had a small draft of cold air coming thru the outside door. The seal on the door was not tight and when it’s blowing 40-50mph outside the draft was coming in and at times would make a whistling sound. The shower drapery was a little odd, where there really was no designation from the shower to the main bathroom other then a teeny little lip. The water escaped to the bathroom and there was really no proper bath mat/towel to lay down. The pillow is super fluffy but very thin. I asked for another pillow and got one without hesitation. I think 3 would feel like a regular pillow. The water in Iceland is delicious. No need to buy water anywhere, just fill your canister up from the sink. The breakfast to my surprise was fairly good. I was anticipating a continental breakfast but to my surprise, they had waffles(delicious), scrambled eggs (a little salty), bacon, little smokie beef links, hard boiled eggs, assortment of cold meats (hams/turkey), cheeses, yogurts, cereals, fresh fruits, various breads with butter, jam, cream cheese, peanut butter, and apple juice, orange juice, coffee, tea, water. The only other downside was they had a lot of ambient light on outside in the parking lot. You would have to drive away to see the northern lights if it was weak Aurora, but it wouldn’t be a far drive to get somewhere dark from there. I would definitely stay again. It’s a great bargain on the south coast for my first time in Iceland.

Spotlessly clean throughout. Fantastic dinner and service
