ION Luxury Adventure Hotel

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff. The room was exquisite with a modern fresh design. The food was very good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love that the staff extended their services in assisting with logistics driving back to Reykjavik.

Amazing boutique hotel in the middle of Nesjavellir. Gorgeously designed to fit in with the rocky terrain. Incredibly friendly staff who did whatever they could to make you feel at home. Rooms were like the Ion City hotels: well designed, great bedding, and phenomenal water pressure for showers. Also has a great heated pool to soak in as you wait for the Northern Lights to appear - which we were fortunate enough to see the night we were there. While you're remote, you can also easily drive anywhere from 30m to an hour away to see some pretty incredible parks (Thingviller) and and waterfalls. The restaurant is excellent (a little above average for iceland restaurants) and I had some of the best steak tartar I've ever had. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you're able.

We just spent 5 days in Iceland last week and had the most wonderful time! The country is breathtaking. Our stay at the Ion Adventure Hotel met all our expectations. The staff is friendly and accommodating...really lovely. The rooms are simple modern, yet comfortable and cozy. The restaurant food is delicious and nicely presented, even though it's a small menu. The sauna and geo-thermal pool were lovely to have at our disposal. And we could see the Northern Lights 3 nights out of our 5 day stay. The lights weren't super strong, but it was still thrilling to see them right over our heads! Since the hotel is located in the middle of Thingvellir National Park and Golden Circle area, it's beautifully remote. Yet the drive from the airport and to and from Reykyavik is easy to do. I can't say enough good things. The only minor issue is the sulfur smell from the geothermal water can be strong at times. But knowing that it's natural and from the water, we were ok with it. Some people have trouble with it. However, I have to say that my skin and hair benefited nicely from the water. Check it out for yourselves though. I think you'll love it.

I can’t complain about the staff, they were super friendly . But as others have said, the odour out and inside was very strong and uncomfortable. The bathroom was very worn . Dinner was mediocre but expensive. Iceland was amazing but this is one hotel I wouldn’t return to.

Fantastic! As described. Remote, quiet, respectful of privacy. Great location to relax, hang in private spaces including thermal tub, northern lights bar, and other communal spaces (off-season). As a Marriot Titanium Lifetime member who has spent a lifetime in hotels , this is now one of my favorite places. It is remote -(their website and every travel article tells you so), there is only one restaurant (same as above), it's next to a geothermal plant and you see it..(facility was first dormitory for the builders of the plant), you can smell Sulfur (like most of Iceland - it's from the geo thermal vents - not something controlled by the hotel). I love this property. We'll be back!
