The breakfast selection was excellent and delicious! The front desk staff were very helpful and were always ready to answer any questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend Hotel Vellir. The rooms are quiet and comfortable, and the location is excellent. It offers easy access to the highway towards Reykjavik or to Keflavik airport, making everyday road trips a breeze.

Wonderful value for the money, hottub didnt have any steps to get into it but it looked like they were working on it. Sauna. And great gym available. Glass artwork throughout the hotel was actually for sale! Breakfast was minimal but sufficient, thin waffles, boiled eggs, dry cereal, and yogurt available 7-10. I would stay here again! No fridge or microwave in the room but didnt need jt.

Didn’t spend much time here but sports bar food was ok. Breakfast was included more of continental style with local flare. It is all pretty pricey in Iceland already and then add on hotel mark up for food but price of the hotel was decent for the quality.

Stayed at this hotel twice, once in the beginning, and also at the end of our trip around Iceland. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of well lit parking, it’s just off the highway, but quiet, We preferred the rooms on the back of the building. The breakfast was excellent, and the tv actually had some good channels.

Good hotel. Comfortable. Radiators were noisy when turned on. Also had a well stacked gym with a sauna and hot tub but I didn’t get chance to use it. Was a bit of a distance from central Reykjavík, I had a car, there was a bus stop just outside to take you to the centre but again I didn’t use it so won’t know how long the journey would take

Nice simple hotel. Great place to book for a couple of days after flying from States and before a cruise. Quiet and away from Reykjavík but not to far to access with a 15 minute drive.
