Outstanding service

Hotel Vellir staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Receptionist in the evening of 6/8/25 was FANTASTIC and exceptional at her job with recommendations and assistance. Convenient location to get to the airport the next AM. Gym was the best gym we’ve ever been to. The only thing I would change was this was the least eco-friendly place we stayed in Iceland. Would have been nice to have a recycling bin in hotel room. No microwave or fridge available in room.

Great staff! Great Breakfasts! The property is very clean and conveniently located on the way to the airport. The area around looked industrial to me, but that was not bothering as it this was the last night before leaving Iceland.

Clean quiet hotel. Traveling as a family we appreciated having a room with 4 real beds (no one wants to sleep on a pull-out couch). The breakfast buffet was nice, although they don’t have any to-go coffee cups. If you have a rental car this is a great option, its an easy drive to Reykjavik. The hotel information desk staff were very helpful.

The hotel was average. Room was extremely small. Not much dining options available nearby. Not much breakfast options for vegetarian customers as well. Room was clean though and customer service was good.

Very limited options for the continental breakfast. The hot tub, sauna and gym were not part of the hotel but next to it and a whole different facility so it felt weird going in there to use the hot tub. It did serve its purpose though and it wasn’t to far from the city center
