6/10 Good

Room was clean but the highway noise is a legitimate consideration. The parking lot is used by all sorts of vehicles busses etc. The breakfast was better than expected. All in all not a bad place for last night before leaving but also not the best.

Excellent and helpful staff!! We had issues with Iceland Air losing our bags and the hotel staff was so helpful in being able to receive our bags and store them when they were delivered while we were out! Room was cleaned and spacious. Location was convenient - easy to drive to both the city center and to the airport. Well stocked, fresh breakfast was also available every morning in the lobby!

The two female receptionists (not the one guy!) were awesome. The hot tub and steam room weren’t working, but they resolved the issue in a very positive and satisfactory way. Their service took this hotel from good to awesome.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Vellir was a great place for our trip to Iceland. Rooms were very clean and staff were super helpful and friendly! When informed we would be leaving early in the morning, staff offered to make us "to-go" breakfast bags in case we didn't have time to sit down. Location is especially good if you have a rental and plan on exploring the southern coast and city. They helped make our trip amazing and I highly recommend them!
