We’ve stayed at hotel Exeter about five time, it is our favorite hotel in Reykjavik. We stay our first and last night here and they always thank us for returning and actually recognize us. We never ask but usually end up with an upgrade. The staff is wonderful.

There is parking in their garage for a fee but honestly the street parking around the area is really easy and convenient. The hotel itself was excellent location, easy access to the routes necessary to explore ring road and the golden circle. Sauna access was super and included breakfast was a win.
