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.
