The Best Hotels in Iceland, From Rural Lodges to Reykjavik Boutiques
"Somewhat hidden behind a popular burger spot, Exeter is an inconspicuous property that blooms into a textbook example of how cozy Scandinavian interiors can be. Its location in the Old Harbor is within walking distance of the downtown shops, restaurants, and bars, but offers a quieter place to retreat to at night. The rooms are outfitted in the same earthy tones as the rest of the property, with leather accents and spacious beds. One standout: The Harbour Suite is situated within sight of Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and the view is well worth it. Two of Reykjavik’s most popular spaces share a roof with Exeter. Prepare for a line out the door every morning as locals and visitors head to Deig, a go-to for breakfast sandwiches and doughnuts. The same area is shared with Le Kock, a burger joint with a delicious take on french fries. Booking through the property’s website will get you the best deal, especially if you plan on staying multiple nights."
