The location is very central and one can walk to almost anywhere in the city centre, with plenty of nearby restaurants and shops to choose from. However, the hotel is very hard to spot from the street - maybe I am just blind but I walked past the place a couple of times before I found it. The rooms are well appointed, clean, and comfortable. One major downside of the location is the noise at night. Not the fault of the hotel, but of course all it takes is one or two morons shouting on the street at hourly intervals to totally ruin one's sleep. Recommend highly - just don't open the windows.

We were very pleased with our stay at this stylish boutique hotel. It is located smack dab in the heart of things, just steps to restaurants, bars and shops. Although other reviewers had mentioned problems with the noise level, it was not an issue for us. We actually had the pleasure of staying in two different rooms, the junior suite and the city suite. They were both very nice, sparkling clean with comfy beds and powerful showers. We did prefer the junior suite slightly, due to the private sauna located on the balcony and the view of Mount Esja and the bay. The folks at reception provided outstanding customer service. They were very friendly, warm and welcoming, happy to give recommendations or directions. A big shout out to Yingying, who went above and beyond for us. We look forward to our next stay at the Ion City Hotel and recommend it highly!…

What a wonderful place to stay in Iceland! The staff was incredible-super friendly and helpful and accommodating! The location of the hotel is perfect-we walked everywhere and this hotel is in the middle of everything. Even though it’s in the middle of the city; it’s relatively quiet. We could hear a little noise on Friday night, but not much. Our room was spectacular-spacious, clean and who wouldn’t enjoy the sauna! We stayed in the city suite and I thoroughly enjoyed my morning Nespresso looking over the views.

We were so happy with our decision to stay at the Ion city hotel in Reykjavik. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious, and everything was reasonably priced. They are located in the center of Reykjavik so we had easy access to restaurants, shops and tourist attractions. We had stayed at the Ion Adventure hotel immediately prior to the ion city hotel, and they were really great about adjusting our itinerary when a big blizzard forced a change of plans. We can't thank ion enough for all of the flexibility they gave us. They really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Definitely a 5 star experience! You won't be disappointed!

In the heart of Reykajavik, close to everything. You can walk to any p;ace in the city from this hotel. Coinvent if you don't have a car to get around. Restaurants, shops and all the sites to see in the city are roght outside the hotel. The rooms are small but clean and modern. The shower is amazing!!!! The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful.

We booked a few nights at Ion Adventure inland a bit but weather/road conditions forced us back into in Reykjavik. The hotel was able to accommodated us in the Ion City hotel instead. The rooms were nice and The Concierge Staff was the best ever!

My husband and I sprung for a more expensive room that had a sauna on the deck, which was awesome. The room price included lots of nice amenities such as a free mini-bar that was re-stocked nightly (although we had to ask a few times) and a Nespresso machine, which was used extensively. The bathroom had the coolest night light I've ever seen: a virtual "flame" at the top of a long black iron bar against a black lava wall. Very Game of Thrones! That was probably the most amazing bathroom fixture I've ever seen. The negative comments here are correct. There was construction noise from early morning and the noise from the whiskey bar next door was loud and continued on to early morning. I ended up playing soft music on my I-pad so we could get some (interrupted) sleep. So, why the 5 stars? The front desk staff was very kind and helpful and the location of the hotel was excellent, within walking distance of everywhere we needed to be, including an excellent public pool. And I LOVED the room. The design was so stylish and modern, yet really captured the essence of Iceland. I love a good night's sleep as much as anyone but I would truly stay here again. Plus, the sauna was heavenly. It was definitely a splurge but it was an amazing stay in a beautiful and fascinating country.…

Since we are Marriott Bonvoy cardholders, we kept this hotel as our "base home" while in Iceland. We actually stayed a few other places during our visit but kept this one almost 7 days. The staff was very helpful and attentive when we needed anything. This was a nice hotel, nothing fancy but it provided us with a nice stay. We had the lower tier room which I felt was pretty spacious for two people. I have seen the reviews of the noise. I am a very light sleeper so I understand, but as long as I had my travel noise machine going, I was fine. Maybe woke up a few times during the week to the noise, but honestly it didn't compare to noise levels I have experienced in Ireland's Temple Bar or even in New York. I loved the Espresso maker in our room and the kettle was great too. We were easily able to walk anywhere downtown from this location so that was nice. I will say, the entrance was difficult to find. It might have been our lack of research but there is basically an alley that leads to the back parking area and we didn't know that until we found the hotel ( after walking very far down a street in rain with our suitcases) As far as I understand, no where in downtown Reykjavik has "free" parking, but we always found a space either on the street behind or the lot behind the hotel.…

We stayed at ION City because they're part of the Marriott portfolio. We wanted to double down on our points but also stay in a nice hotel since we were in Iceland to celebrate my birthday. Huge mistake and disappointment! The rooms are tiny, and I'm not saying tiny in comparison to US hotels. They're objectively really small, we barely had space for our luggage. There was also some construction going from early morning until late at night, and the noise was unbearable, to the point that the walls and side tables were shaking. . I can usually sleep through anything, but I couldn't get 3 hours of sleep straight. Their website mention that they have parking, but they don't. There's paid street parking in the next street. If you've rented a car, please keep that in mind. Breakfast was not included, which almost never happens at Marriott hotels, especially for long-time Marriott members. All in all, I'd say: if you have the opportunity to stay at another hotel, just do it.…

It is 4:15am and the next door music venue is STILL blaring club music. We were told it happens in the summertime & use provided ear plugs. Ear plugs were not provided. I didn't ask them because I can't sleep with ear plugs anyways. On top of this, to cool the room down in summer, you have to open the window (common in Iceland). The noise that comes from the street is pretty unbearable. Very unfortunate as the staff is incredibly kind and rooms are great. If you are simply wanting good location, this is a great hotel. If you are actually wanting to sleep, choose another hotel. Noise isn't going to change as the hotel has no control over it. You can, however, control where you stay.
