Top Hotels in Hafnarfjordur with Spas

I would probably give this hotel 3.5 as it was a little hostelly but the quirkiness kind of made up for it. After reading previous reviews I was actually expecting the rooms to be smaller. They were small but perfectly adequate for single rooms. My son and I had a room each at ground level. If I went again I'd go for a higher floor as had to shut the curtains when people used the hot tub outside the window. Also we were woken by the laundry a few times in rooms 28 and 29. Although the rooms weren't cheap, they were very reasonable by Icelandic standards and I liked being out of town with the harbour, the elf park and the wonderful restaurant ”Krydd” nearby. It was easy to get into Reykjavik on the no 1 bus and some of the tours pick you up at the hotel. The tour desk were very good for organising our trips (link provided by the hotel) and Gatway to Iceland run a brilliant Golden Circle tour - reviewed separately. Also it was a great perk that the Flybus to and from the airport stops there. I enjoyed breakfast- a cold buffet with porridge and waffles. Many hotels in the capital don't offer breakfast at all or charge an awful lot for it so it was very welcome. The fish and chips, fish soup and burgers at the restaurant were very good and I liked the people there. It wasn't luxury but it made for a great Iceland experience.

The # of stars rating for this hotel is irrelevant. My wife and I have never experienced such kindness and curtesy well beyond and above the call of duty. Stranded in Iceland due to weather, not an uncommon winter event, and stranded by the poor response and complete lack of service from hotels.com, the front desk staff here jiggered the ir rooms, and found us one. All flights had been cancelled; we thought we had booked, thru htelos.com-they failed, Hotel Vellir came through with flying colors. while waiting in the lobby to see what they could do for us, we were served coffee! When has that niceness been shown to any of us weary travelers recently? The hotel is clean;+ comfortable, with a sports bar attached serving food on a Sunday eve-again no small feat. Breakfast too the next morning-and then kindly called us a taxi. Such hospitality in the hospitality industry- many could observe and learn from the staff here. The Hotel Vellir staff are ambassadors for Iceland- and deserve all the kudos one can muster. (Btw , you've never really lived until you've watch a football/i.e. soccer match called in Icelandic! So cool!) Thank you Hotel Vellir- you helped make what could have been a disaster into a warm and welcoming experience!
