The Exeter is in a perfect location for Reykjavik: close to everything you want to do but still quiet and cozy. They were having a Christmas Market in the garden with some great handmade items. The staff was incredibly helpful, including arranging for a taxi at 4:00 am for an early morning flight. The rooms are spare but very comfortable. The only thing I wish they had was more light.

The staff was pleasant, kind, friendly and welcoming, the hotel was clean and well-kept (as was the room), the restaurant was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my time at Exeter Hotel. I loved how walkable everything was from the hotel. Annamaria, Justina, and Nadir were particularly helpful at the front desk, always answering any questions we had with great detail and providing us great recommendations for some great food in Reykjavik. I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Iceland!

Sauna good and clean, otherwise facilities fairly basic (although didn’t use the gym). Room was quite small but had the essentials. Had more of a hostel feel than boutique hotel.

The room smelled like pizza. I realize you can’t stop someone from eating pizza in the room. But do extra cleaning to get the smell out. We smelled pizza the whole time we were there thought someone hid a piece somewhere in the room. Not up to the standard we are usually met with at the Exeter. Left a little disappointed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We had a good time. The welcome was simple and efficient. The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable and well equipped. A small downside: we were a bit cold the first night, so we turned on the radiator for the second night. Unfortunately, it made a noise and whistling sound all night, and we ended up turning it off towards the end of the night. We would have appreciated a small gesture at check-out. Nevertheless we still think it was a good stay and a beautiful hotel. The restaurant, bagels and beers were excellent! And well located.

I loved the hotel’s unique blend of cozy charm and industrial edge—it struck the perfect balance between warmth and modern flair. The atmosphere was effortlessly relaxed, with a genuinely friendly vibe that made it easy to unwind. Its location was a dream: just steps away from vibrant shopping streets and tempting dining spots, and with tour departures conveniently right across the road, it couldn’t have been better positioned for exploring.

Great location, friendly staff. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5, the room was small, very little space for luggage & the refrigerator didn’t work.

Beds were great, breakfast was great, staff great. In the stairwells and hallways there was an awful smell all the time- maybe from the kitchen? It was awful and all my clothes stink like it now. Otherwise- great place! Such a good vibe and so convenient having Le Kock and donuts downstairs!

Quirky, clean, well-designed and relaxing hotel. Reception staff were great, beds were comfortable, location was handy. The bar, bakery and restaurant downstairs were all brilliant too (as evidenced by the queues of locals).
