We really liked Ion Adventure. The only thing less than perfect was the Silfra restaurant - our wait staff was excellent, but the food was not. I tried the "beet burger", and someone else had the falafel, and they were not good. Otherwise we really liked the hotel.

A unique hotel situated in a remote location, only 40 minutes drive from Reykjavik, and on the golden circle route. The welcome drink was appreciated. Worth mentioning are the wonderful staff, always welcoming, professional, kind and service with a smile. The Swedish male waiter at dinner was super! The rooms were nicely decorated, clean, and quiet. It got a bit hot during the night but opening the window cooled it quickly. The bar at the front of the hotel was great for enjoying a pre-dinner drink, and the barman kindly concocted a mocktail for our children. Breakfast was thumbs up from the whole family. Worth staying for an authentic Iceland experience.
