Facilities are super! Esp. The outdoor spa, the bar, views and experience was fantastic.

Has an exotic location-feel to it, yet is central to access Golden Circle and other sites. Very comfortable room, very clean. Great food, although overpriced and the dinner menu is very small. Excellent breakfast buffett and gluten-friendly.

It is good to have a transfer service for airport and downtown, search it on the ION website, it might save your money if you don't drive like me.

Amazing hotel, such an unusual location. Great hiking right from the hotel, beautiful views. We loved the northern lights bar.

Staffs are very nice and helpful. Two ladies at the reception helped us out when we had trouble with the car. The northern light bar got floor to ceiling window offering a perfect view. Too bad we didn't get to use the pool as it was too cold.

Dinner and breakfast were delicious, even though they were quite over-priced. The road to the hotel was beautiful, but only accessible from one side with a 2WD car.
The view from the room was great! So was the panorama view from the the bar and pool. Simply stunning!

Highly overrated hotel that won’t give you value for your money. The “free” spa only comprises of a small pool and sauna. Rooms are ok, but don’t expect any views. Restaurant is extremely pricy for small servings. Finally, the hotel displays being part of Bonvoy Mariott, but we were told that we’re not entitled to anything as a gold member.

The room is fairly tiny, compared to other European hotels in I have stayed with. There are paved roads to the hotel, but google map / Apple map might show you otherwise if you come from Gullfoss direction - not the hotel’s fault though.
Hotel is beautiful with a fantastic mountain view. The staff is very friendly and helpful, giving a lot of travel tips, especially when the weather was extremely bad when we arrived.

The staff was not very friendly at the time of check in. My husband told them how unhappy we were and they didn’t react nor tried to help. The pool was closed at the morning until check out time. It’s like they didn’t want us to use it. At the evening there was a storm so basically the only activity in the hotel was not usable the entire stay. Due to the storm we hoped to enjoy the bar and the view but it opened only at 5 and the staff was also not friendly- also almost nothing to eat. Which is problematic when the dinner is only at 6 and if you come hungry from a day trip you need to wait till dinner. Its in a middle of no where (not in a good way) so its not like you can go anywhere else. The view is bizarre - why would anyone want to look at a geothermal plant? In a nutshell- huge disappointment. We were hopping for a luxury stay and we got our worst stay at the end of our 16 day trip in Iceland. Would like to get my money back for this scam.

No gym. No airplay to tv. Small rooms. Your enjoyment of this hotel is extremely dependent on what room you get. Too close to the bar or restaurant and it is noisy. If you are on the right hand side of the building your view is a power plant :(
Very cool atheistic. Great views (so long as you’re not facing the power plant) Good restaurant and fancy bar. Loved the pool. Calm and peaceful.

Reception staff was busy and got trouble in a guest's double charge issue then kept us waiting for check-in for more than half an hour longer than promised. The waiting was good after all the facility is nice and cozy but perhaps systems and training could be better. There is quite limited space in the room so our stuff was in a bit mess. After all the logic is not intent to keep you in the room. Btw the water in bathroom smells strongly like H2S or boiled egg.
Facilities are super! Esp. The outdoor spa, the bar, views and experience was fantastic.

Decor a bit tired and not as clean as I like. Also our tv was burnt out Ask for rooms with odd numbers so that geothermal works are not in your line of vision
Delicious and unusual options on dinner menu but hotel felt a bit tired and not as plush or mod as I expected it would be. Our TV had burnt out and was not checked and bathroom not as clean as I like. On the plus a dip in the spa pool while pouring with rain around us was good fun.

You really pay for the location, design and the view; the room itself was nicely decorated but rather small, therefore we consider it a bit too expensive for staying a longer period.
Exceptional location, design and layout of the hotel. The Northern Light bar is phenomenal. It was fabulous to enjoy watching the northern lights from the gorgeous geothermal bath. We had a friendly welcome with a glass of bubbles. Staff was very helpful with driving tips to visit the area. Dinner was very good; breakfast OK.

For a place that is promoted as one of the best for viewing the Northern Lights, there are still too many artificial light sources. We suggested they block the kitchen's window to the patio b/c lots of light was coming out, which the mgr thought was a great idea but how did they not previously think of it? Also, the hotel is right next to a geothermal energy plant, which produces area light.
Has an exotic location-feel to it, yet is central to access Golden Circle and other sites. Very comfortable room, very clean. Great food, although overpriced and the dinner menu is very small. Excellent breakfast buffett and gluten-friendly.
