Our take
Families and couples who want a nature-focused stay within 30 minutes of Reykjavik will like Hótel Eldhestar: private entrances opening onto fields, nature-inspired rooms, an outdoor wooden hot tub and Icelandic horse riding tours. The setting is rural and geothermal, so a city feel is absent. I would choose it for a first night or a short countryside break built around horses.
