Top Golden Circle Hotel Reviews

Exeter Hotel

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic location, just a short walk to the centre of Reykjavik. Also very close to bus stop #4, which is a pick-up/drop-off point for the Flybus and most of the local tours. Our room had a pleasant view over the harbour. It was also clean, had a nice bathroom, good bed, free safe, and everything else you'd expect in this price range. No noise issues. We didn't buy the hotel breakfast. It was nice having a popular bakery and restaurant/bar (who will deliver online orders to your room) on the ground floor. Recommended."

Hotel Viking

Hotel Viking

8/10 Good
"If you want a Viking themed hotel, I don't think there's anywhere else you can find one but this one. The bed was soft and comfortable and it's close to several food options if you don't want to eat in the restaurant. Breakfast options are a little limited, but still good. The warm water comes from the natural hot springs, so it does smell like sulfur. I was assigned to one of the cottages and it was fine, but the shower stall is small. I didn't have much room to move around. The parking lot is very small."

"The hotel location, staff, breakfast,and overall experience was great. One small complaint was the sauna was inoperable during my three day stay. If you advertise you have it, then it should be available and should function properly."
