Great moderately priced downtown hotel!

We had a great stay at the Exeter Hotel! The staff service was above and beyond every single day. We were always greeted with bright smiles and attempts to help or discuss your country. In some ways, they are at the front lines to "sell" Iceland. We loved that the lounge always had coffee. We loved the bakery connected to the hotel. I have to say, I wish that every hotel had a cafe like that. Every morning regardless of breakfast, we had access to a quick meal, fresh donuts and lunch to go! The one negative was the gym as the machine you have is, for the most part, unusable. However, there were weights and that worked just fine. The room was comfy and provided everything we needed. We loved that you've set up a "greenhouse" in the lobby as it was a nice quiet place to read. And, of course, the location of the hotel was fantastic!!

Someone came into our room at 3:00 am! They had given a guest the wrong room key. We were scared out of our minds. Tiniest rooms we have stayed in. Unsafe period.

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.

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.
