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.

nothing special about this place. Firstly, it is next store to a club that either has a live band playing or rehearsing or the dance music that makes the walls shake.. it was brutal. Secondly, they give you NOTHING.. they charge you for everything. The room was stocked with food, drink and sundries but all for a price.. we got 1 bottle of water for free - THANKS!.. not even coffee in the room.. c'mon... the room had a bathtub right in the middle and when I tried to take a bath, water leaked all over the floor.. the shower is one of those open showers that, unfortunately, steamed up the entire room - so we opened the windows and had to listen to a weak Eric Clapton cover band rehearsing...the in room TV was limited and they had a DVD player with a movie library at the front desk (newsflash, its 2021, not 1995) they charge for breakfast and the only hot thing they offer is toast , everything else was cold (cereal, cheese, pastries, bread, salmon and hard boiled eggs)- go to one of the many coffee/pastry shops.. its better and cheaper.. the spa was closed which is annoying because i really feel we should be compensated when the hotel offerings are not available.. the stay included a spa that wasn't open - am i wrong? the staff was OK but not great.. some barely spoke english which is fine, but don't put them at the front desk.. parking was a nightmare.. overall, for the price, i would not recommend this place.. probably easier next time to get an Airbnb..…
