Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Von, in Reykjavík 101, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: within an easy walk of the city centre, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,500 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €245 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. Whether Hotel Von is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Reykjavik more often than not.
