to get started.

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

Simone, United States of America

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.

Preechaya, Thailand

Very good service. High End hotel in quite location.

Robert, United States of America

First impression, the hotel smelled divine! The place was gorgeous. The food was delicious and the staff incredibly courteous. While eating our superb dinner, waiter informed the guests the northern lights were visible which led to amazing views and photographs!

Michelle, United States of America

The Ion Hotel is in a great location very close to the main National Park in Iceland. It was easy to find. The rooms are very nice with great views of the surreal landscape surrounding the hotel. Even the geothermal power plant close to the hotel looks otherworldly and fits in the landscape. The food at dinner and breakfast was excellent. The hotel's giant outdoor hot tub was amazing: So relaxing to sit in there while enjoying the views.

Fabrice, United States of America

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.

“Really disappointing, would not recommend.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Considering the cost of staying here, it was extremely disappointing: - Facilities (hot tub/pool) was closed for a day due to maintenance (would have been good to know prior to booking as we only stayed one night). - No coffee, honey, brown bread and other basics at an overpriced breakfast. Eggs, and cooked food was also very underwhelming. - Towels and bathrobes were quite threadbare. - Shower water is natural so very strong sulfuric smell (on principle I don't mind, however no working extractor fan) so entire room smells quite strongly. - Walls are thin, so very easy to hear everything going on in the corridors/other rooms.
Good location.

“Remote location with poor service that is over-priced.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
The Service was poor. In fact, it came as a bit of a shock. The rooms were not ready, so we were ushered to eat a late lunch whilst they finished the rooms off. The food for lunch was good, though very expensive. The waiter was clueless. He poured the fish soup in the lap of one of our party - didn't notice and when she pointed this out, he found it very funny. He then did nothing to help her mop this up. Our cold drinks had to be requested twice and they eventually came as the meal was almost finished. The rooms were nice, though small. The shower had an eggy smell from the water - which, I appreciate does happen in Iceland sometimes, but this was the only hotel we experienced it - and we stayed in many hotels during this trip. Everything was expensive - even for Iceland, and the Service was poor everywhere. The bar was unmanned most of the time. When it came to check-out, their 'system was down' so we were unable to see our extras or take a receipt home with us. And finally, the location - yes it's quite beautiful. Yes, it's remote. But nobody tells you it's next to a power station which is belching smoke all day. That industrial view was not expected. Would I go back? No, I don't think I would. It was not value and not special enough to excuse the cost.
The ION Adventure Hotel is a nicely designed space and its remote location was very nice - especially with a very snowy backdrop. The little details like wool slippers were also nice. The food was also good.
