Staying in summer there is a problem (that is common in Iceland but more of a problem in the middle of a city) if you want to cool the room the only way to do this is to open the window which opened on to the busy street in front of the hotel which is quite noisy. Also, our room was directly above the bar which was also noisy

The Exeter hotel is in a great location, walking distance of everything we wanted to see in Reykjavik. On arrival, and throughout our stay, the front desk staff were really friendly and helpful (even helping me with my first use of one of Iceland's car parking Apps that was needed to pay for parking on the street behind the hotel. The rooms are very smart and comfortable. We didn't have dinner in the hotel but had breakfast from the in hotel bakery shop which was excellent and reasonably priced (by Iceland standards).

Lighting in lobby and rooms very low. Not good for reading or old eyes.

Location great

There was nothing. We were out early and come back late.

It serve our purposes. We only stay there for sleeping as we had days with activities. They gave us two keys, the room is small which is standard. Very modern, loft industrial. The wifi worked perfectly. Many people commented on the air conditioner in Iceland hotels. Yes no air conditioner but this practice is usual in very cold places. We went in July. and we did not feel hot in the room.You can open one of the windows from the balcony. Our room overlooked other houses and a small ally but rarely heard noises. The “balcony” was a square cube glass-interesting concept. All main attractions are walkable from the hotel. Downstairs there is a bagel shop that always was full (Im not a breakfast person) and one of the burger restaurant Le Kock is there. Keep in mind that Iceland restaurants close early, around 9pm kitchens close. There are plenty of plugs for your devices although we carry a multi modal one for traveling. For parking, there were plenty of street parking 7min walk or so on the streets close to the hotel. The hotel is in a main street close to the harbor. Remember to pay (we pay through the machines in the street).

Parking difficult close by, although they have on site parking in the garage (35 EUR night).

Great location near old port. Nice “industrial” design. Amazing bagels in lobby. Nice staff.

I liked everything about the property

Everything! Location, accommodations, cleanliness, great vibe, excellent staff. The harbor view was amazing

The restaurant/bar/bakery area can get super busy but once you get used to that its not a problem. If you need a quiet area just go to the reception or the covered area outside.

This hotel is modern, has a super location, great bakery, fab restaurant/bar, well planned rooms but what must be mentioned is the amazing staff at reception. They were 5 star from the minute we arrived to the minute we left.

Loved everything! Restaurant and bar and bakery in the entrance were all excellent. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. There could not be a better location to get to excursion tours, shopping, and restaurants. We absolutely loved our 3 days there. Hope we get to come back sometime soon!
