to get started.

Staff and service were exceptional. Location was beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable and cozy. Slept very well!

Rebecca, United States of America

Location and proximity to popular touristy spots were our primary reasons for staying here. The fact that it was a "designer" hotel was a disappointing second reason. The place photographs well, but doesn't live up to the hype, and ultimately falls well short of a serious luxury hotel.

Walter, United States of America

The bed was very comfy! The room, though small, (typical in Europe) was well appointed with coffee and tea service as well as a small mini fridge, the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Christina, Luxembourg

The hotel itself was an awesome design. I really enjoyed the hot tub. The rooms were clean. And the receptionist was so helpful and nice. The bar area was gorgeous and the bartender was extremely nice!

Laura, United States of America

Comfortable room, beautiful setting, good breakfast. Wish we stayed more than one day. Was a great jumping off point to go to Golden Circle sights.

Debra, United States of America

The design of the hotel is both unique and comfortable! The restaurant was outstanding for any city! Cudos to the chef and waitstaff!!

Rise, United States of America

The location and surroundings are beautiful and great place for seeing the northern lights. The welcome drink was a nice touch. The spa was lovely. The staff were very friendly.

Emma, United Kingdom

The staff was incredibly accommodating and what a terrific hotel! We couldn't get to the hotel due to bad weather and they were able to change our reservation to the next night. Also, we met the chef of Silfra Restaurant and his menu is delicious.

Lindsay, United States of America

The Facilities were good but not outstanding, A little high priced for what you got. NO other restaurant for miles to eat, so I felt like the menu was way over priced . even at Iceland high price to begin with .

Mikeabet, United States of America

The food was absolutely amazing. Every meal. The location was stunning and was a great jumping off point for both the South Coast and the Golden Circle drives. The staff was incredibly helpful with directions, especially helping us navigate road closures (this is tricky!), restaurants and attractions on our drives, and booking experiences.

“Nice hotel -- but failed to live up to our high expectations”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The location was a bit odd; on the shores of this gorgeous lake, but no views of it, and right next to a power plant, which means some light pollution and glare. The spa pool is very small. The food is very delicious but very expensive, and there are no other restaurants nearby (they should really include free breakfast)! The staff was very nice and accommodating for the most part, but despite me booking dinner reservations for my husband's 30th birthday, and me telling both the restaurant and hotel staff of the special occasion, they failed to even bring a candle out on the dessert we ordered. So all and all pretty disappointing for the price.
The Deluxe room was well appointed, clean, and comfortable, but small. The food at the restaurant was amazing!

“Loved every minute of our stay here!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Unfortunately we only had the option for fine dinning, which although the food was fantastic, we found to be very expensive. There were some light snacks available at the bar, but no moderately priced typical meals. If this is an inconvenience for you though, it can easily be planned around. Nevertheless, it is a minor issue when you consider the brilliant experience offered by the hotel in all other aspects.
Loved every second of our stay at the Ion Adventure Hotel. The hospitality, facilities and cleanliness were of a high standard. The hotel is situated in a remote location, miles away from the nearest town allowing for the scenery and landscape around the hotel to seem untouched and vast. During our stay it snowed, creating a beautiful environment all around the hotel. There are several hiking trails immediately accessible from the hotel parking and Tara the hotel's friendly dog will be happy to accompany you and make sure you have a safe journey. Highly recommend spending a couple of nights at the Ion Adventure hotel if you're ever in Iceland.

“Skip ION - not worth the price”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe Double or Twin Room

The place looks and feels run down. Carpets could use a good cleaning or replacement. Walls repaired and repainted. Finishing touches missing or fudged IE visible wires, exposed structure from damaged plaster, burnt out lights not replaced in public areas. General disrepair here and there quickly took the hotel down a couple stars. Even my in-room coffee machine was broken, and not replaced during my $550.00 USD a night stay. The bathrooms are tiny and using the shower soaks the anything in the room. The rooms smell of nearby geothermal plant sulpher. The hotel was clean, but not spotless, and serious repairs needed to be made. The spa was disappointing, and mico hottub/pool was disappointingly tiny. Men's locker room was horror movie dark, damp, and needed attention. My friends had black mold hidden behind the curtains in their room, so this scares me what we didn't notice.
Location and proximity to popular touristy spots were our primary reasons for staying here. The fact that it was a "designer" hotel was a disappointing second reason. The place photographs well, but doesn't live up to the hype, and ultimately falls well short of a serious luxury hotel.

We actually couldn't fault it on anything! You come to this hotel to switch off and enjoy being in the middle of nowhere, so while you only have one restaurant and the spa facilities, both are perfect.
The isolated location is wonderful, the service, food, quality of the room and the bathroom, and the heated outdoor pool.
