Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is located on a street where taxis are not allowed, so be prepared to walk with your luggage to get there. The lobby is very small, with no place to sit. There is always a strong smell of food—like from a kitchen—in the hallways and elevator areas. The rooms are small and dirty, with a stained and dirty sofa. I did not feel comfortable at all in this hotel.

Just had a 3-night stay at ION City. Staffs were all friendly and amazing. Location is in the core downtown tourism area of reykjavic so that could be pro or cons depending on what you like. It's a little bit loud outside especially if the room is towards the street, but window is reasonably sound-proof. One issue was that when I first arrived there were a few blood drops in the bath towels, but after I raised that issue the room service was all good for the rest of the stay. Overall 4/5.

The restaurants nearby were excellent. The hotel is on a pedestrian only street. Difficult to get to as it requires a 10 minute walk with suitcases bouncing on a cobblestone street.
