The hotel was quaint with immaculate rooms and I loved helpful staff. I was here for 1 night and ate at attached restaurant on ground floor. Its location was central, next to Parking.

    Loved the hotel's quirky decor & cleanliness, friendly staff always cleaning up which was great. The attached restaurant & bakery were handy for quick bites. Appreciated the sauna & garden area for unwinding. Some areas of our room could have had better lighting, but didn't bother us much. Overall, the hotel nails everything you need while keeping a cool vibe, would definitely come back! 🌟

    The breakfast was impressive - from fresh fish to tasty yogurt. Slept well, despite some room quirks. Location's top-notch for exploring. Desk staff was helpful but had a rough start. Upgraded to a beautiful suite, worth it! A good experience with friendly service and convenient amenities.

    Despite the room being a bit dim and parking being scarce, the comfortable bed, great shower, and lovely outside patio made up for it. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Great value!

    I spent here 3 amazing days and would stay here again. The hotel was an easy base for enjoying a fairly nice area, next to the town centre, Harpa, and many other attractions as well as bars.

    The hotel had a stylish and modern vibe. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was cozy with comfy beds and a great bathroom. Some downsides include noisy pipes, odd breakfast selection, lack of air-conditioning, and dark rooms for work. The location was fantastic with great amenities nearby.

    During my recent stay for business, I appreciated the stylish furnishings and comfortable rooms at the hotel. The reception staff was very helpful in assisting with dinner reservations, which made my evenings hassle-free. I particularly enjoyed the cozy sauna and the well-equipped gym, providing a touch of luxury during my busy work schedule. The breakfast, though not extensive, offered fresh waffles and a variety of options to start the day off right.

    With an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the restaurant, bar, lounge, and reception area, the hotel creates a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The lobby lounge, flowing out onto a courtyard patio, feels like the beating heart of the hotel. It's a great place to mingle with other guests and soak in the lively vibe. At one point, I found myself unintentionally eavesdropping on a group of locals' conversation about their adventurous day trips - truly amusing.

    TV remote being finicky.

    The first time I stayed, the staff recommended great dining spots. This place suits me perfectly and has everything I need. The Wi-Fi is reliable, and the 24-hour reception and security make me feel safe. The fitness center and sauna are a bonus. I keep coming back for holiday.

    Great location with harbor views, numerous nearby restaurants, museums, and nightlife. Clean, comfortable rooms with spacious beds and large towels. Helpful staff who book tours and recommend restaurants. Enjoy the sauna and delicious breakfast served in restaurant attached to the hotel. Industrial-chic vibe with gym access.

    I absolutely adored the stylish and hip interior design of the hotel. The fusion of modern industrial decor with a touch of vintage charm was simply delightful. The general areas were very accessible for us seniors, making it easy to navigate and enjoy the hotel's ambiance. , the convenient location next to the old harbor allowed for easy access to the most attractive places in Reykjavik, making it ideal for senior travelers like us.

    The only thing I would ask for a better vacation for senior people is for brighter lighting in the rooms. More light would have made the stay even more comfortable for us seniors.

    Convenient location near restaurants and shops, with bus stops for tour pick ups nearby. Great breakfast with delicious pastries from the attached bakery. Friendly and helpful staff, were really good too assist guests. Comfortable beds and well-equipped rooms with easy climate control, TV, and speaker.

    WiFi network was unreliable and kept disconnecting. Dark ambiance throughout the hotel, with black hallways and walls.

    This hotel is perfect for a holiday getaway, with its superb location just a stone's throw from the harbor and a short walk to the city center. It's also conveniently situated next to all the major bus stops for popular tours, making it easy to explore the city's sights. The rooms are cozy, with wonderful bathrooms and comfortable beds. The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to assist you with anything you need. The breakfast spread is delicious, with a variety of options to choose from every day.

    Some may find the noise from the street outside a bit disturbing at night, but overall, the experience is memorable and worth it.

    I recently stayed at Exeter Hotel for my trip to Iceland. The staff, especially Van, Stefan, and Kamila at the reception, were incredibly welcoming and helpful in organizing my trip. The location is perfect with a great view of the harbor, and the room was comfortable. The industrial design gives the hotel a unique touch, and the breakfast had a wide selection. Great vibe at the restaurant and bar too!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The rooms at Exeter Hotel are just so cozy and modern. I loved the walk-in showers with the full-size toiletries from an Icelandic skincare brand. It made me feel pampered and relaxed, like a true treat for my stay.

    I personally found the garden view rooms a bit noisy. But I guess some people might enjoy the bustling street ambiance.
