Exeter Hotel

The hotel was amazing! The rooms were very clean, tidy, and beautifully designed. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us every day. The lobby felt super cozy with its lovely Christmas decorations, we really enjoyed spending time there as a group. It was also extremely convenient to have a bar, restaurant, and bakery all in the same building. The location was perfect as well: very close to the city center and well connected to the bus station for the airport. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Thank you, Exeter Hotel, for a wonderful stay!

The Exeter is a perfectly located hotel in Reykjavik. It's across the street from a tour bus pick up site and a very short walk from downtown. Our room had a nice view of the water and Mount Esja. Despite being on a busy street, the noise in the room was nil. The room felt small but it was clean. The bed and pillows were very comfy. Including breakfast is well worth it, especially if you have an early start and the food was fresh and varied. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The sauna was amazing after a long day of walking. We highly recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at the Exeter Hotel! Perfectly located in Reykjavik where you can explore the city and scenic attractions. We loved that there was a restaurant and bakery on the main floor with vegan options, which made meals so easy. During our stay, there was a charming Christmas market in the attached courtyard, such a festive touch! The person checking us in was very friendly and welcoming. She went above and beyond to look up a vegan restaurant for us that she heard was delicious. The hotel itself was comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed the sauna and the small workout room, and even spent a cozy evening playing cards. Everything was perfectly located, making it an ideal way to spend our last night in Iceland. We would absolutely stay here again!

We stayed a few nights at the Exeter and were so happy with it. Here are some highlights: the very close food options (the bakery Deig and the noodle shop Ramen Momo were EXCELLENT). The rooms were clean and stylish. The ability to leave luggage in lockers and hang out in the main space or walk around town were very convenient. The staff were really fantastic. Super knowledgeable and helpful. Alena helped us many times and we were so grateful for her assistance.

We had a great stay at the Exeter Hotel. It’s in the perfect location right on the harbour. The room was warm and comfortable and we both slept incredibly well because the room was completely silent. The receptionists were always very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful! We also loved the bakery in the building which serves incredible donuts and bagels. It was the perfect base for our trip to Reykjavík.

We were avid AirBnb users until last night when we arrived in Reykjavik at 1 am in the morning and the codes did not work. We scoured the streets looking for a place to stay. We arrived at Exeter Hotel and there was Margaret who was our saviour. She not only organised rooms for us and checked in with the tour's we were doing. The hotel is incredible, the food is out of this world and Margaret well she was out of this world. We are so incredibly thankful. Cannot recommend it more highly. Extraordinary service.

I’ve now stayed At the Exeter Hotel twice. Front desk and housekeeping staff are unusually friendly. They smile and say hello every time I walk by. I’ve had great conversations with many of them, who are more than happy to make off the grid recommendations for tourists. The front desk is very responsive by email to accommodate specific needs. Early check-in was easy and available (for an extra fee, but it was exactly what I was told upfront). The breakfast buffet (included for the rate I selected) was really good! And the hotel is a short walk to lots of shops and attractions. I’d stay here again.

Great location especially for the harbour if doing boat tours. Also a close walk to shops and food with good parking nearby. Very good bakery and restaurant part of the hotel. Rooms generally clean and well kept only downside is perhaps size of the rooms.
