Hotel Vellir is a 3-star stay in Hafnarfjörður, set on the edge of the capital area with mountain and lake surroundings and the chance to catch the Northern Lights when conditions allow. It puts you within reach of practical city access too, with buses stopping next to the hotel and linking to the center of Reykjavík. Keflavik International Airport is 22 mi away, making arrivals and departures straightforward.
Inside, rooms are set up for an easy, independent stay. You can expect free WiFi, a satellite flat-screen TV, and parquet floors, along with a private bathroom that includes a hairdryer and a rainforest shower. The spaces feel clean and functional, with the kind of details that make it simple to settle in after time in the city or on the road. Where available, the calm layout and thoughtful basics help the room feel like a quiet pause between outings.
The shared amenities add another layer of convenience. Guests receive free entry to the Katla Fitness Center during gym opening hours, except on major public holidays, and Ásvallalaug Thermal Pool Center is just 1148 feet away if you want to swim or unwind nearby. Hotel Vellir also offers parking, a bar, a restaurant, and wellness facilities, so the rhythm of the stay can stay close to home when you want it to. With accessible features, free WiFi, and straightforward services, it is a practical base for a few unhurried days.
This part of Hafnarfjörður works well for travelers who want access without sacrificing ease. You can move between the hotel, the pool, and the bus stop with little friction, then return to a stay that feels grounded, comfortable, and quietly connected to the landscape around it.

Positive:
I stayed at Hotel Vellir for three nights and had a very pleasant experience overall. One of the real highlights was the access to the gym, which was excellent and very well equipped, a genuine bonus and better than expected for a hotel at this price point.
The rooms are a tad on the small side, but the beds were comfortable and, importantly, the rooms were spotlessly clean, which made for a very comfortable stay.
Breakfast was perfectly suitable for the price point, offering a good selection to start the day without trying to be overly ambitious.
Overall, it represents good value for money and I would happily stay again.
Negative:
Only that it was basic.
Summary: Overall, it represents good value for money and I would happily stay again.
