Ask around the local hospitality scene and Exeter Hotel keeps surfacing. A four-star in Reykjavík 101 that has been gathering momentum lately. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: barely a stroll from the centre of Reykjavik, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 2,100 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €281 a night, which lands as a premium option for the city. Stack Exeter Hotel against the better-known names in Reykjavik and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
