Best stay

We needed to check in early due a medical issue. Our room wasn’t available but just as we were about to leave the hotel staff ran out to tell us it was available. She got us checked it, ordered a morning breakfast, and got us situated. Absolutely the BEST customer service. This was on August 12th at 3:00. She was absolutely the most kindest person during our trip.

Nice accommodations and excellent breakfast. The room was very clean and spacious. The area is quiet. Our recommendation is to extend the sauna hours. We were looking forward to enjoy the facilities but it closed at 6 on Sunday. It would be nice to have it available until 10-11 pm.

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.
