The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. They made our stay lovely. We recommend getting bagels and donuts from the bakery in the front and eating them in the little greenhouse in the courtyard. The area was touristy but really convenient and fun.

I’m a 36 year old American and have been to Reykjavik 6 times now. I have stayed at Exeter for the last 3 and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The staff is fantastic and very accommodating. The location is perfect and most rooms have a very nice view. Great bakery and restaurant in the lobby.

The staff is friendly and helpful. I have a feeling that the breakfast there is probably one of the better ones in compared with other hotels in the city. However, our room is right next to the street. There's not much privacy if you don't close the blinds. Also, the room is way too dark.

Lovely hotel in a great location

Great location, comfy bed, and friendly staff. The only hitch for us was that we came during the summer, and the room was uncomfortably warm, even with all the windows open. We asked the staff for an electric fan, which made all the difference.

Fabulous junior suite, huge, beautiful, well- equipped with everything you need or want. Lovely big balcony, can't say enough about the room. And the STAFF, who were delightful: Alena, Margaret, and the wonderful AnaMaria, who went above and beyond to find parking for us. Highly recommended.

This hotel gives off a modern/industrial style as my family and I lean towards these types of places. It is very similar to Marriott's brand the Moxy. The location is great as its close to all the attactions, shopping, restaurants and bus stop 4 which you will use to meet for excursions and airport shuttle service. They have a restaurant nearby called La Kocke and serves great bar type food. There is also a breakfast place that has pastries and hot breakfast sandwiches that are out of this world. My only drawback or complaint would be that the rooms don't have air conditoning which would have been the perfect experience. Even though the temperatures are cooler, the rooms get rather humid as they are constructed of concrete. I did ask for a fan from the front desk which made our stay more tolerable but was hard to rest easy with the temperature of the room because the lack of A/C. I would highly recommend this place for short stays but for long term stays I would avoid only because of not having climate control temperature in the rooms.
