Staff was awesome. Not fake nice. Just competent, relaxed, and helpful. Breakfast was very solid. Skyr, good bread, real fuel before going out to freeze your face off. Rooms were clean, modern, efficient. Nothing excessive, just well done. There’s a small but functional gym and a sauna, which honestly hits after a long day in Icelandic wind. You do not need a commercial gym. You need somewhere to move a little and then sweat. And the real sleeper perk is Deig in the lobby. Elite bakery. It sells out for a reason. If you see something you want, commit early. Would absolutely stay there again. Perfect basecamp for cold-weather adventures.

Honestly what an excellent hotel. Very friendly staff, welcoming and communicative. I couldn't really fault the hotel in any way, so unfortunately my feedback isn't that constructive! Just keep doing what you're doing because I loved it. The style, cleanliness and location are all perfect. The adjoined restaurant and bakery are beautiful, from the artwork to the food quality. Again the staff were all brilliant. If (when!) I come back to Iceland I will definitely be back to Exeter, Le Kock and Dieg. Keep an eye out for those two for the price of one doughnuts in the evening, which is rare as they usually sell out!

Room was clean but small. Breakfast just ok. Location a little far from center. I had to check out 1 night early due to massive snow storm in new york, the icelandair offered me to leave the day before to avoid getting stranded in iceland. However after explaining to front desk she said manager wasn't there but he will contact me. I haven't heard from anybody from the hotel, I wasn't expecting a refund but at least a credit. Customer service needs improvement.

Had a very pleasant stay. The room was very clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was to switch rooms to the same floor as my friends. The hotel is perfectly located near attractions, the harbor and grocery stores about a 10 min walk. I would definitely stay here again!

Exeter staff are incredibly warm and helpful, rooms are clean and spacious enough for two, location is convenient to buses and tours, very walkable to the harbor area and its surroundings, and having Le Kock downstairs for breakfast buffet and its delicious burger menu and bar made for a fantastic stay. For a hotel in a semi-busy location with nightlife, no issues really with any noise outside the property. We stayed 2x at this hotel and would again if in Reyjkavik.
