Very nice quirky hotel. Staff were amazing and a restaurant and bakery on site. Right across the street from the harbor and also bus stop #4 for all the tours. Around the corner from shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was amazing, best I have ever had at a hotel. Only thing I would say was a bit more lighting in the hallways and rooms would be a plus.

Perfect location in great neighborhood right across from the harbor. Outstanding service and staff! Terrific breakfast, great bakery off the lobby and friendly bar area to relax at night. Only negative is that the rooms are very dark…so bring a flashlight if you want to find the dark clothes in your suitcase. Highly recommend. Again, high compliments to the super friendly and helpful staff.

This hotel has a noisy bar on the first floor, making guests uncomfortable. The front desk was dismissive and seemed discriminatory towards Asians, unlike their friendly attitude towards others. After receiving the wrong room, the staff blamed the Trip platform and accused me of being aggressive when I tried to resolve it, then threatened to call the police and evicted me without a refund. Despite my travels to over 10 countries, this was my worst experience. Parking is difficult, the room quality is poor, and the heating is noisy. Avoid this hotel due to poor service and disrespectful staff.

An industrial luxurious modern hotel close to Reykjavik Old Harbour. Stayed at the Urban Deluxe Twin Room and was upgraded to a corner room which was quiet and away from the main road. The room was very spacious and luxurious with all amenities provided including feee sauna and gym.|The hotel is located only 3 mins walk to Bus Stop 4 Miðbakki which serves as a convenient and accessible departure point for day tours and airport pick-ups / drop-offs. It is also within 10-15 mins walking distance to the town centre and Rainbow Street. |There is a restaurant at the hotel which we did not try but did managed to have breakfast at adjacent Deig Bakery which serves good bagels and donuts. |I would totally recommend Exeter Hotel and if I return would definitely stay here again!!!

Superb hotel! The location assures convenient walking access to downtown activities and to all the attractions at the Old Harbor, even to our conference over at the University. Comfortable bed, shower, work area, and good amenities like blackout curtains that we needed with the midnight sun. We looked forward to the delicious breakfast at Le Kock each morning with a fine variety of eggs, meat, fruit, skyr, granola, juices, yummy bread and bread pudding. Helpful staff. Excellent choice that made our 5-night stay so enjoyable.

I needed a hotel near the Harpa Conference Center, where I was attending a meeting, and was lucky to find an available room at the Exeter — an altogether very pleasant stay. The hotel is modern, yet not without cultural roots: it reminds its guests that it stands on the site of the house of a famous Icelandic poet. It is very centrally and conveniently located, and my room enjoyed a beautiful view over the harbor. The rooms are spotless, cleverly and attractively arranged, offering a space that is small but genuinely cozy and pleasing to the eye. Downstairs there is a bakery, and also a restaurant that doubles as the dining room, where a generous and varied breakfast is served; coffee is available throughout the day in the lobby, among comfortable couches and armchairs. As ever, the real difference lies in the way guests are welcomed and looked after. On this score I owe particular thanks to Justina and Van, two of the ladies at the front desk, who were exceptionally friendly and helpful, unfailingly ready with good advice and assistance. The care they and the hotel's staff showed is well captured by a single fact: having left my hat in the taxi on the way to the airport, I found it sent on to me in San Diego, California, where I live. I can only warmly recommend this hotel to fellow travelers — those on business, certainly, but equally those visiting Reykjavík for pleasure.

Our first visit to Iceland, we stayed in the Exeter Hotel for a week. The location is great, within a short walk of the city centre and very close to bus stop #4 if you're not driving. Our room was clean and to the standard expected, no noise problems, perfect for our needs and we enjoyed having a view over the harbour. Recommended.

This hotel is lovely! Staff is kind and helpful, there are free lockers to stow your baggage if you arrive before check-in time, and the location is unbeatable for boat tours and shopping. One thing to note, at least in our room so rooms may differ, is there is no air con or fan available for sleeping. The windows open which is good! But if you want to close the blackout curtains during the summer to block the midnight sun, the air does not flow into the room very well. We simply used eye masks and left the curtain open to maximize airflow and temperature. Otherwise the heat and humidity from the shower (next time will make our showers very very fast!) will stay in the room for a very long time. I am particular about temperature, staying cold when I sleep, so that’s my only criticism. But we figured it out and slept well eventually! ^_^ no problem Otherwise will 100% stay here again!! Beware of spending all of your money at that fabulous lobby bakery/cafe, Deig…! Lol
