Excellent customer service and front desk representative was amazing! Breakfast buffet was great with variety of options and staff that was very efficient and friendly. The one thing that concerned me was the parking lot conditions. The city had a freak snowstorm a couple of days before and the parking lot was still not plowed. The driving condition in this hotels parking lot was extremely dangerous and our 4x4 vehicle with winter tires slid a few times. My husband is an excellent driver and we did not get in an accident thank God.

Room and staff were great. However, I apparently got food poisoning from eating food (most likely culprit - chicken wings) in the bar. Beer also tasted a bit off, so there could have been disinfectant left in the glass when it was filled. I vomited the next mrning. Than symptoms gradually decreased.

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.

Good stuff. Good breakfast. Ideal location for those traveling by car around Iceland. The only thing for the hotel is a smell in corridors. And the linens could be a better quality or replaced soon.

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.
