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.

Great stylish hotels, super nice staff, and very good food by islandic standards. The proxomity to the geothermal power plant next door iw certainly interesting and representative for Iceland. It can however alsonlead to some srong sulfur smell. Not for everyone.
