Exeter good choice for solo women travelers
Exeter Hotel is a good choice for solo women travelers as all entrances, elevators etc. are only accessed with a key card. Easy pick up/drop off for day tours directly across the street from the hotel at Bus Stop number 4. The staff is helpful and supportive. I would have liked to have been given a heads up that in winter there may be condensation on the windows and glass doors which can lead to pooling of water. Otherwise it was a great experience.

Hotel was perfect location for exploring Reykjavik by foot. Very walkable to cathedral, rainbow road, bars and restaurants. Breakfast included is really high quality and decision - a great way to start the day. The onsite restaurant is also excellent, same with the bakery, Dieg. Hugely recommend!

Comfortable, convenient, friendly boutique hotel.
My room was cleaning comfortable. I loved that the door opened for Greg air even though there was no balcony. Front desk was SUPER helpful on a number of requests. Convenient coffee shop and restaurant downstairs. I didn’t use them, but the sauna was a big plus in a small boutique hotel. Convenient to downtown and lots of shopping and restaurants. Adorable “greenhouse dining” outside. Controlled access to guest floors. As a woman traveling alone in Iceland for the first time I felt safe. Hotel transfer pick up just across the street. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay at the Exeter Hotel! Super convenient location for local walking / shopping, as well as right across from bus stop #4 for when we booked a tour and when we had a whale watching adventure. Front desk provided excellent restaurant recommendations when asked. Bagel shop in the lobby was delicious! I highly recommend this hotel for your Iceland stay!
