I thoroughly enjoyed my five night stay at Hotel Von and if and when I return to Reykjavik, I would most likely stay here again. The staff was excellent--from the front desk, to the restaurant staff (excellent food and service) and housekeeping. While basic, my room was modern (as is the rest of the hotel), comfortable (except for poor ventilation), and very clean. The hotel is extremely well situated. It is on a main, mostly pedestrian, street lined with shops, restaurants and bars, close to a vital bus stop (#9) and within walking distance of virtually all sites in Reykjavik. There's a handy market right next door. Street noise can occasionally be a bit of a challenge late at night in a street-facing room, especially on weekends. I very much recommend this hotel. P.S. While there's an electric kettle in the room, travelers should bring along their own tea, coffee, etc.
