Good place, prices a little to high regards to the quality - but in total, a good experience. The dinner was good, and it became an experience when the staff stopped the dinner and said to the guest.. you should all go outside, the northern light is gloving. By god it was. 2 km of pure green shine dancing on the sky. Amazing, but the price tag a little to high.

Spectacular setting of this very specially designed hotel. However, I would say that it is slightly overpriced given the level of interior design and amenities, which did not live up to the very high expectations I had and given the price. The staff was very friendly and helpful, fantastic food. We did not use the spa so couldn‘t speak about that.

The restaurant was wonderful for both dinner and breakfast, as were views from the bar and the heated dipping pool. Room was modern and clean. Our expectations were low as we drove in past the neighboring power plant (geothermal) and the construction equipment spread out across the parking lot and near the main entrance, but we had a nice stay.

he Adventure Ion Hotel offers a unique location, nestled in a serene and remote setting away from civilization and light pollution. However, the experience falls short of its advertised promises. While the Northern Lights Bar is suggested as an observation deck, it disappointingly lacks the expected views, and the promised wake-up calls for the lights were untimely. The spa, advertised as a luxury amenity, turns out to be a modest geothermal pool and a small sauna, not meeting expectations. Additionally, both breakfast and dinner options are limited, with repetitive vegetarian choices and high prices for what's offered. Despite its promise of luxury, the overall experience feels sparse and doesn't justify the cost.

Beautiful location; spa and geothermal pool a bonus. The staff are amazing! Loved the “check in beverage” very modern and clean. NOTE: closest gas is 32 km away. Make sure you have enough gas to get there and back as the road from Selfoss to the hotel is very very empty of other cars and houses so if you get stuck it’s a long long walk!

they should consider a low light time in order to see the northern lights like 11-12 am 30$ for dessert item is a bit overpriced

A nice place in the middle of the national park. A couple of hiking trails around and helpful stuff. I’m general, being in Iceland for the second time and having a chance to compare good hotels and small wooden houses, I would say that the hotel is very much overpriced. - it is located right next to the power station (so you can expect typical Icelandic smell all the time) - the only change to have a meal is at the overpriced restaurant (the breakfast is average too) - spa includes only a relatively small hot tub (which is usually super full of tourists), a room where you can chill and read a book and a sauna - you can literally hear everything what is happening outside the room (whether it is someone going to the hot tub or running for the northern lights or just taking shower in the next room) I have visited better places in Iceland with a more fair pricing, service and comfort. Nevertheless this is an understandable marketing concept from the location.

The hotel is fine, rooms are on a smaller side, there is some construction going on the property so it can be loud at times. However, the issue is hotel is NOT in Selfoss. It's not even close to Selfoss, around 45 min out of town of Selfoss, in the middle of nowhere. Not sure why it shows up in Selfoss.

All of it was pretty great, just not sure it’s worth the high price. Definitely avoid the restaurant, very expensive and not worth it. Spa was awesome, northern lights bar was a great venue. The property is under construction but we hardly noticed. Half the rooms have a great view on one side of the building, the other half have a good view but that includes a power station which kinda spoiled it. The staff here are beyond excellent.

I really wanted to love this hotel, but I feel like a pictures don't represent what I experienced in person. The hotel is really remote, but is right next to a power station that keeps its lights on all night. I originally thought this was the issue of the light streaming into our room at night, but turned out to be the hotel lobby light. When I mentioned this to the staff, their answer was that’s what the black out curtains were for. I was under the impression they were for Iceland's long summer days? Overall it gave me the impression they don’t really take into consideration people’s experience there. I wish instead of spending the money to expand they would update what already exists. We didn't know renovations were taking place and did not have a great first impression upon arriving. Overall half of the hotel feels dark and outdated including our room. Our bedroom and bathroom were not represented in the ones pictured. And on top of that bathroom shower just felt like it never got hot enough. I’m glad we made reservations for dinner because the restaurant was at capacity and I could see people waiting in the lobby for tables to open. Despite my feelings about the hotel itself, our dinner was delicious. If you do stay here request a room on the other side of the hotel away from the plant and as far away from the restaurant as possible to ensure the least light pollution and the most privacy. Make dinner reservations and plan to use the spa at sunrise when it’s quiet.

The guest service is off the charts here. Swift was amazing at the desk in helping us reareange our trip due to a storm coming in (cancelling hotels, getting a room back in the city, etc.) The entire team is so friendly and we felt right at home. We will have fond memories of Ion Adventure. 🙏

All in all a great stay. Surroundings are amazing, staff wonderful and the heated pool brilliant. A couple of things that wasn’t so great: pool was closed for cleaning one of the days we were at the hotel which was a bit annoying as we only spent one night. Also the hotel restaurant is ridiculously expensive - as in crazy expensive😳😂

I enjoyed the solitude of the stay, it was very relaxing. The bar is beautiful with large windows and very good drinks. I love the remoteness of this hotel and the hot spa outside was delightful. I felt it was a touch overpriced, especially since no food or drinks were included, and the menu was very pricey. Other than that, it was lovely.

One of the most memorable hotel stays. We stayed for two days in December. It's far enough from Reykjavic (about an hour drive), isolated and remote. Super chill vibes. Picturesque scenery. A winter wonderland retreat. The weather was snowy so we were concerned about driving there. Check road conditions often on roads.is. It turned out fine though: nothing a small AWD vehicle can't handle, even with moderate snow.
