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.
