Hotel Von

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Von is perfectly situated in downtown Reykjavik with everything within easy walking distance. The staff are wonderful and very helpful and all speak perfect English! It is on a busy pedestrian-tourist street but we did not have any noise issues and there are many parking options all around. There is a very cozy cocktail bar attached and next to the reception area which I highly recommend. I would definitely choose to stay here again!"
