The ION Adventure was a great landing spot for our stay just outside Thingvellir National Park. The hotel was new, modern and sustainable. It offered great amenities like the pool, sauna with complimentary buffet

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.
