There wasn’t a mini fridge in the room

EVERYTHING!!

Stayed in November 2023

The rooms were functionally limited for a property of this caliber, eg limited storage and bathroom space

The location, and in particular the warm plunge pool were excellent.

The restaurant needs to improve. The food was just okay. The Northern Lights Bar was amazing.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location. You feel like there is no one else on earth except for the people at the hotel. The spa was also a big plus for us after a long day of sightseeing.

One of the staff members at the reception was not so friendly

We drove to the hotel from the airport very late (close to midnight), following Google Maps. 20min before reaching the hotel, the only road from out of the blue had a "no entry" sign, and turning back and taking taking another route would add over 1hr. We called the hotel for an advice - which was not very helpful, so we took the risk and drove pass the sign, which was ok, but a bit stressful not knowing where we were going. The hotel should have communicated better these details prior to the arrival. Vegan options on the menu would be appreciated.

It was just a bit more basic than expected.

It was a nice but basic hotel. The breakfast and dinner were lovely and there was a good wine selection. View from our room was very good but the power plant next door dominated the area.

Lava spa was amazing as well as the restaurant and its world class food and the Northern Lights wake up call was a great touch

My room felt dated. For the price paid, I had a certain expectation. Even before entering the room, the damaged/dated door frame was concerning. The towel warmer in the bathroom was non functional. Our room was right behind reception and we heard loud noises of people talking and laughing late into the night. I knew the hotel was full so didn’t bother calling the front desk as I knew there was nothing they could probably do. The location of the hotel was spectacular. The staff were absolutely amazing from check in to room service, to check out.

Dinner was overpriced. Breakfast was not included.

The hotel is very sucluded so the only food without travel was in the hotel which while absolutely gorgeous was quite expensive. Would recommend bringing snacks as there are no nearby shops.

We spent two nights previous to this trip on tours looking for the northern lights without luck. We spent two nights here and we were able to see them both nights from the window of our hotel room

They could have a bar service at the pool

I recently visited the Ion Adventure Hotel in Iceland, and it truly lives up to its name as an amazing destination. The fact that it's featured on the BBC's "Amazing Hotels" speaks volumes. My experience at the hotel was highlighted by a special and incredibly tasty dinner. The culinary experience here is top-notch. However, I did find that breakfast was a bit on the expensive side, and it might be more convenient for guests if it were included in the room price, especially given that the room rates are already on the higher end. One thing to note is that the hotel is currently undergoing expansion, which has the potential to be fantastic. Still, there's always a concern that such growth might lead to a loss of the hotel's original charm. I hope they can maintain the unique character that makes this place so special while expanding. Overall, the Ion Adventure Hotel is a remarkable destination that offers a memorable experience, especially in terms of its dining. Just keep an eye on the breakfast pricing, and let's hope the expansion doesn't compromise the hotel's unique charm.

Although we did not get to see the Northern Lights (which is why I booked this hotel), we very much enjoyed our stay! The scenery on the drive to the hotel is spectacular (if not a little scary if you're in wind/rain/snow), and the hotel is very, very cool! We enjoyed getting into the warm geothermal pool and sitting in the Northern Lights lounge after dinner. The food is fantastic and the staff was more hospitable than anywhere else we had experienced on our 10-day trip.

We were looking forward to our stay at ION and it far exceeded our expectations. Location is remote and beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable, the restaurant was great and appreciated small touches like the welcome drink. But the highlight was when we got the midnight wake up call to go and see the Northern Lights - we could see them even from our room window! Truly spectacular.

Restaurant menu never changed, limited hanging space in room nowhere for wet clothes. No milk or creamer for coffee or tea. Limited car parking. Duvet wasn't big enough for bed.

Lava pool and sauna. Friendly staff.

There was nothing we did not like

The ION is a special spot, with a gorgeous view from the Northern Lights bar, where you can sit and unwind after a day of adventure. The restaurant on site is exceptional, serving an amazing breakfast buffet, lunch, and a superb dinner. The selections are excellent, and the food was artistically plated. The room felt spacious, the bed was comfortable, and we had a fabulous sleep. All in all, we would highly recommend the IOn, from its helpful and friendly staff to its gorgeous location.

Iceland salmon for breakfast was a bonus. The view from here is spectacular and it's even better from the hotel spa. The location is pretty remote and incredibly beautiful.

The restaurant menu needs improvement. Selections are very limited.

The staff was amazing. We particularly loved being in the mountains.

The pool and sauna in their spa area were cold. The food was the most expensive we had seen in Iceland as well. You’re also staying right next to a power plant which is not apparent in the photos of the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful and we loved the view from the bar.
