Very special hotel but overpriced

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.

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!

Hotel is NOT in Selfoss!

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.

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.

We made a last minute reservation, we booked a deluxe room for 3. Showed up after a long day. Front desk said they showed a reservation only for 2. We asked for a roll away and was told that was only for those 12 and under. My son (over 12) offered to sleep in same bed or on the floor. Front desk said they only allow two people per room. They made us book a second room for $600 for one night. No effort to accomodate in anyway. They knew they had us out in the middle of nowhere at evening time and took advantage of us. Will never go back
