ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels

Location

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.

The biggest praise goes to the staff. Icelandic people are a gem 10/10. Second best thing was the serene location, between the mountains, absolutely quiet and beautiful. I drove everyday to different places including the city which takes about 45 minutes but the scenic drive never gets boring. Please mind that this was during June when the sun is always up.

Amazing location well worth the money spent. The place was absolutely incredible. Upon our arrival we were upgraded to a better room for free. Out of the 9 nights we stayed in Iceland in different hotels ION Adventure Hotel was the one we saw the northern lights in. The hotel offers wake up call service if the lights appear at any time during the night which is awesome (saves you time and fuel driving around all night looking to see them). Highly recommend this place even if you do not see the lights it’s a hidden Gem especially the Infiniti pool/spa. Thank you ION for the amazing experience and the great hospitality!!!

Wonderful Stay in Iceland! I had an amazing stay at ION! The rooms were clean, spacious, and offered breathtaking views of the Icelandic landscape. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the experience even better. They offered us champagne and coffee and also helped us with trip planning! The location was perfect—peaceful and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, and the outdoor hot tub was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. Highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and unforgettable stay in Iceland!
