Guest Reviews

• Simon m (4/5): Ok but rooms are ridiculously dark and characterless - Location The room was so dark and dingy, couldn’t even see to unpack properly
• Ronald (10/5): Beautiful, clean and close to the City! - Very nice property in a good selection! Nothing
• Sarah (10/5): - Close to Harpa and also Bus Stop 4 which worked so well for me. Picked up 2 tours and the Flybus connection there. Property was really contemporary and the breakfast was a huge spread. Oh they also have lockers if you need to drop off prior to checkin due to early flight into Iceland. Enjoyed my stay!
• Cynthia (8/5): Only 3 min walk to the city action area. - Location is close to town center easily accessible to many sights in the city simply by walking. Shower has no door; so floor will get wet despite the design is suppose to prevent that to happen.
• Diana (9/5): - Posizione centrale, molti servizi disponibili
• Kelsey (10/5): We loved the location and the overall vibe of the hotel. The staff was amazing and the property was very clean! - We loved the location and the overall vibe of the hotel. The staff was amazing and the property was very clean! We loved everything about it. Wouldn’t change a thing.
• Cynthia Petty (10/5): - Location,. clean. Room size
• Bernadine (8/5): Good hotel - Good location Great coffee shop Restaurant on site
• Petra (9/5): Great place close to the Harpa and everything down town! - I've stayed at the Exeter a few times now and it's starting to become like coming home. The breakfast is A+, the sauna is great and the rooms comfortable. The rain shower is always nice too! The rooms are VERY dark which can be a problem if you wear dark clothes and have dark suitcases/backpacks. It becomes very hard to find things.
• Torfi (8/5): -
• Martijn (9/5): -
• Christine (7/5): - Die Lage war sehr gut. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit gewesen. Die Sauna ist groß und sauber. Leider war das Zimmer/Möbel sehr verstaubt. Wenig Möglichkeiten Kleidung gut zu verräumen bei 2 Personen.
• giuseppe (8/5): - Ottima posizione, hotel pulito ed accogliente. Camera essenziale, ma molto confortevole
• Sarah (10/5): -
• Sigríður Magnea (8/5): -
• Robyn (9/5): Very pleasant and convenient for a short stay. - The urban double room was on the small side but well-organized. There was room for suitcase, hanging clothes, and toiletries, with shelves and drawers.The floor-to-ceiling window was appreciated as the lighting was dim. Very comfortable bed and quiet. I only stayed one night so didn't make use of the sauna or workout room. The bakery was great and very popular. As many flights do, mine arrived in the morning and I reached the hotel by around noon, a few hours before 3 pm check-in. Even though the room was ready and I was checking out before 7 am the next morning, I was charged 30 euro for early check-in. I had gotten a good rate so I paid it but the policy reduces value for money. Also, the lighting could be brighter in the room.
• Tirza (10/5): A perfect stay in Reykjavik - Clean and modern rooms. Many options on breakfast buffet. Friendly , helpful and professional staff. Excellent location walking to many eateries and just steps away from bus stop #4 for tour pick ups.
• Judith (9/5): -
• Jordan (4/5): Mitigé : bon lit mais service insuffisant - J’ai apprécié le confort du lit ainsi que la douche, très fonctionnelle. En revanche, un point d’amélioration important concerne le ménage. L’hôtel indique que le nettoyage des chambres se fait uniquement sur demande. Je suis donc descendu chaque jour entre 9h et 10h à la réception pour demander le ménage et le remplacement des serviettes. Le premier jour, tout a été fait correctement, mais pendant les deux jours suivants, rien n’a été fait malgré la confirmation à la réception (“it will be done”). Au vu du prix et des services proposés, je trouve que le rapport qualité/prix n’est pas à la hauteur.

• Elaine (10/5): Lively modern hotel in excellent location. - Location is great especially if going on whale sightseeing as close to the harbour. No complaints
• Kostas (10/5): -
• Thane (10/5): - Great room, fabulous breakfast!
• Ronald (9/5): Generally satisfied . Price was not outlandish compared to espensive everything else. - The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. The shower was very good. The TV was very good though it was so tight against the wall that I could not attach my Roku or USB. This deprived me of Apple and Prime. The sauna facility was clean as was the changing room. Robes were provided. There was Nespresso type coffee in the room and lobby which was complimentary though it would have been nice to have real milk or creamer rather than powdery substance. The location was pretty good especially for quick trips to the harbour area restaurants thus avoiding freezingly cold walks. It can't be helped but there was no closet. Clothes were hung in the open. TV too tight to the wall denying self-determination if one was so equipped.
• Roger (10/5): Quirky, characterful hotel with great staff in a great location. - Very friendly staff, modern but characterful decor, excellent bakery as you enter, great location near the city centre. Not a lot.
• Nick (8/5): Good hotel! - Great location, clean hotel and room. Not enough space in the room for clothing like a closet. Bed was very hard and saggy.
• Hlynur (10/5): - Cleanliness
• Dorothy (9/5): Lovely short stay - Great location. Close to harbour and lots of nearby shops, restaurants and bars. Good breakfast. Staff helpful. Comfortable room and bed. Nothing.
• Amber (10/5): - Perfect location. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food at the restaurant. Incredible price for everything that was included. Will definitely return in the future
• lhebert01 (10/5): Convenient location and great bakery - Staff were really friendly and helpful. Loved the bakery downstairs. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would stay again.
• Rory (10/5): Brilliant stay, bakery and restaurant in-house are 10/10 - Rooms were clean and spacious Nothing
• christophe Barea (8/5): Hotel très sympa - L emplacement, Literie confortable Chambres propres Des produits de toilette de qualité Le petit dejeuner, pas de viennoiseries, que 2 sortes de pain

• Madeleine (8/5): - Fina rum och bra läge Ingen service kommer utan extra debitering, inte ens lite frukost i en påse om man måste åka innan den öppnar. Stort minus för detta. Det är också alldeles för varmt vid receptionområdet.
• Katja (9/5): -
• Cris (10/5): Great service and comfortable rooms - We would like breakfast to be included.
• Marites (8/5): It was convenient, close to everything! - It is close to everything! The days of cleaning, should be everyday like some other hotels.
• ilyas (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): - Check-in was easy, LOVE that this hotel offers lockers to store your luggage while exploring the city before check-in, that was really important to us. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean and updated, the location is fantastic and street parking available in the neighborhood behind the hotel was safe and affordable. The food and bar available in the lobby were fantastic - it was so nice to be able to grab a quick breakfast sandwich before starting our day and for an easy lunch at Le Kock.
• Marc Bateson (6/5): - Bathroom was good. Room was very dark, the exposed concrete made it feel like a cell. Breakfast was poor and not worth the money.
• Caroline (10/5): A brilliant genuinely Creative hotel full of fabulous staff. - Loved it here, brilliant location gorgeous building loved the little bakery with fresh cakes and bread. The sauna was immaculate, just a brilliant, genuine, Creative place, with fabulous staff, modern and cool. There is nothing to write here as the hotel is brilliant.

• Gregory (8/5): - If there is free parking somewhere, it wasn’t easy to find
• francesca (10/5): Staff cordialissimo e ottima colazione - Il minimalismo, vista pazzesca sul porto
• Hera (10/5): A lovely hotel in downtown Reykjavík, amazing location! - Very nice location, right in downtown Reykjavík, a wonderful restaurant on the ground floor as well as Deig, a bakery. Great service from staff and the room was clean and very nice!

• Peter (10/5): Great place to stay in Reykjavík - Wonderful hotel in a convenient location within walking distance to many attractions. Very friendly staff
• Klaudia (9/5): -
• Nathanaëlle (8/5): - Pas grand chose Style industriel, béton. Question de goût
• Matthew (9/5): Very good hotel for a city break in Reykjavik - Very good value for money in Reykjavik. Very good location right on the marina, easy walking distance to most things in Reykjavik and close to bus stop 4 if doing any activities with Reykjavik excursions. Good sized room, bed comfy and bathroom was good size and always very warm. Bakery and restaurant on site are very good (have to pay) but the bakery can get very busy Nothing major, pillows weren’t to my liking but still comfy enough.
• Ines (10/5): -
• A-shley (10/5): Would return and would recommend - The location is superb. The onsite restaraunt and bakery are amazing. Staff are friendly and very helpful. The rooms are specious modern clean and very comfy. The onsite sauna was a lovely extra touch with a heated green house just outside it for relaxation.
• thecharms (10/5): -
• Tamilla (8/5): Great hotel in a central location -
• Yulia (9/5): - My stay was excellent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I was fortunate to receive an upgrade, which gave me a spacious room that was clean and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Reykjavik.<3 The only minor inconvenience was related to breakfast. I had booked a rate that included breakfast, but due to an early tour and the next day an early check-out, I wasn’t able to attend at the usual time. I asked about a takeaway option, which was available, but it came at an additional cost as it is arranged through an external provider. Since breakfast was included in my booking, that was a bit disappointing. But overall this did not take away from an otherwise excellent stay.
• Amelie (8/5): -
• 0ijqcy5r2e (10/5): Highly Recommended - We stayed here for five nights and it was amazing. The room was in excellent condition. The hotel was always clean. The receptionists were very professional and courteous. The breakfast was the usual continental breakfast. I really enjoys the food at the Le Kock restaurant. Jazz music on Monday nights..very entertaining. Highly recommended.

• Ioli (7/5): - The rooms were really big and the location convenient. They also had live music in the restaurant area and a bakery in the entrance. There was no view, but the room was great for 1 night.
• Janet (7/5): -
• B (7/5): -
• Karen (9/5): - Very nice, clean and modern hip / hipster style hotel. We love the design and the comfort of the room. We also enjoyed the bagels from bakery Deig at the premises so much. The location was fabulous too - it is close to bus stop #4 for the tour coach / flybus pick up and drop off. It is also walking distance to the old harbour area and city centre. It is nitpicking but we would like the lighting to be a little brighter in the room.
• ZULFIYA (7/5): -
• P2214OOleea (8/5): Cool place too stay - Fantastic place to stay. Great staff, lively Breakfast and really cool bedrooms.

• Jarosław (9/5): Super pobyt - na pewno kiedyś jeszcze tu wrócimy! :) - - lokalizacja idealna, - uprzejmy personel, - piekarnia na dole z miłą obsługą :) - trochę za ciemne oświetlenie w pokoju - ale to już taki styl tego hotelu :)
• Jenny (8/5): - Staff are friendly and helpful . Location is central and near many food places

• Fanny (8/5): -
• Søren Nagel (10/5): -
• James (9/5): I’d happily stay there again - Great location and lovely food Rooms too small and not enough room to put clothes away. So room felt untidy all the time
• gemmareviews16 (10/5): Perfect trip, lovely hotel in best location. - Stayed here for 4 nights. Great location for getting about and near to bus stop 4 for all trips and tours we did. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly the first receptionist who checked us in and the woman who greets you every morning for breakfast The breakfast included is very nice and good quality. Definitely was a good start to the day and a very evidently clean area with the open plan kitchen. We also ate for dinner at the “le kock” which is the same restaurant for breakfast. Pricing was reasonable and food quality again great The room we had was lovely I really appreciated the heated bathroom floor with the cold outside weather haha! Despite the hotel being very busy it was not noisy or over crowded. We didn’t use any of the facilities except for the free luggage storage before we checked in as it was €30 to check in before 3pm so we used the free locks and went out for a walk Key card system for the lift and access late at night was also reassuring and felt very safe and secure considering was “on the road” We researched a few hotels before here and chose this one and are very glad we did I came for my birthday and had a lovely little card and some donuts in my room on arrival which was also really appreciated The maids come when you request to make sure you’re not interrupted due to everyone having different routine which is also a great way to do things. Especially when we had a couple of late nights chasing the northern lights- even this they have a sign in the lifts and offer bookings at reception. I did all I wanted in my time in Reykjavik but if I did return I would absolutely stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• Robert (5/5): Didn't live up to expectations. - Design of the hotel was clean & contemporary. The lobby was reasonably comfortable with coffee and tea readily available. Some staff were nice and helpful. The heated floor in the bathroom was nice. Good proximity to shops and restaurants. Room quite small and felt cramped due to layout. A lot of disturbing street noise - constantly woken-up during the night from just people having conversations outside windows. Sewage smell intermittently in room. No parking nor bellhops made it hard to deal with luggage and had to park long distances away trekking through slippery ice and snow. Accommodated early check-in but was charged. Reception felt indifferent.
• Jonathan (6/5): OK - Location was good and the facility to store bags if arrived early (wanted and additional 30 euros for early check-in) or needed some where to to store on last day. Gym was good Room although called an urban superior I would query the use of the word superior - small and dark.
