Hotel Vellir

"I’m leaving this review based on how the hotel handled a serious GDPR breach. I booked through Booking.com and was later contacted by fraudsters pretending to be the hotel. Neither the hotel nor Booking.com responded adequately, but the hotel in particular showed little concern or responsibility. No clear explanation, no proper follow-up — and the issue remains unresolved. Guests should be aware and cautious of any suspicious contact claiming to be from this property."

"This is a very nice hotel. We especially enjoyed meeting the lady at the front desk. Unfortunately we did not get her name, but she is from Tanzania. She was kind and helpful. The free breakfast was delicious and plentiful. It included waffles, deli meats, cheese, sweets, bread and cereal. It's in a good location, about 15 minutes from Reykjavik and about 25 minutes from the airport."

"I stayed here for three nights on a recent trip. I felt a bit overwhelmed with where to stay in Iceland. I knew I didn't need to stay in downtown so this looked like a good place to stay. We had a car so plenty of parking available. I believe there was a bus stop close by but I imagine it would be a bit of a pain waiting around for buses. Check in was easy and friendly. We had a quick drink in the bar before heading up to our room. Room was spacious and clean upon arrival. Plenty of towels. Tea, coffee etc in the room. I bought lots of snacks with us including some cuppa pastas so we had that and some meat for dinner to try and keep costs down. Breakfast was plentiful and whilst they do ask not to remove food, I did take a small tuppaware box with me and took some cheese, ham and bread to eat later. I also took a coffee flask with me so was able to bring a hot coffee with me in the car. There isn't much to this hotel other than rooms and bar/breakfast area. It's very quiet. I was disappointed with housekeeping. They simply emptied the bin. Didn't make the beds or hoover. we arrived Friday, then came in Saturday and nothing on Sunday. I shared a Tiktok of the breakfast so please search the hotel name or our name explorewithethan2021 to view."
