More details
Rates are room only. There's no breakfast at the hotel but plenty of great spots to be discovered nearby.
Also
Ion City Hotel is on a vibrant street in the heart of downtown Reykjavik, near on-trend bars, restaurants and clubs; guests looking for nightlife won't need to go far, but light sleepers will want to partake of the earplugs thoughtfully left out by the hotel.
At the hotel
Gym, free WiFi. In rooms: TV, free minibar, Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth speaker, bath products by L:A Bruket and Sóley Organics.
Our favourite rooms
If you’re into balcony-set private saunas with views of the sea and mountains, the Junior Suite is for you. That’s everyone, then. In any case, go for a room facing the city – you might be in earshot of occasional Reykjavik revellers, but the views are well worth it.
Packing tips
Enough woollies to keep you warm, but leave space in your case for one more – the snuggly sweaters in the hotel boutique are handmade by the owner’s mum.
Also
The restaurant and bar are accessible for guests with mobility issues, and there are two Deluxe rooms designed for wheelchair users.
Pet‐friendly
No, but they probably wouldn’t appreciate the fur rugs anyway. See more pet-friendly hotels in Reykjavik.
Children
All ages welcome. Extra beds (ISK9,900 a night for under-14s) and baby cots (free) can be added to suites and Deluxe Rooms.
Sustainability efforts
Recycled wood-plank flooring and organic linens give Ion City an eco-conscious aesthetic, and the selected bathroom products are kind to the environment too.
