The comfiest beds I've ever slept in
I cannot wait to come back to Reykjavik and stay at the Ion City Hotel again!
What an absolute gem of a hotel. It was extremely cozy with a wonderful ambiance, plus it's so central to downtown! We were easily able to make the most of our time in the city (one evening and most of the next day).
Everyone we met on the front desk was super lovely and helpful and we were able to leave our bags with them on our final afternoon in the city.
Just for anyone else who gets lost trying to find the hotel though - search for Sumac (the restaurant) on google and it's much easier to find than the hotel, which is not v well signed and was very easy to walk right past.
Also I was perhaps slightly sad that there wasn't a hot tub or pool (for some reason I'd convinced myself there was - but perhaps I was thinking of the Adventure hotel out in Thingvellir - which also looks fantastic but we discovered is incredibly remote). But given this was my head making things up, I really can't hold it against them!
Finally, there's parking on the streets around the hotel so if you're driving as part of your holiday, this is super easy to sort out!
