I ordered 7 twin rooms but only got 5 (and 2 doubles). Appreciate that it was a busy weekend (rugby and football etc), but not ideal. Having said that, lovely staff and a really nice hotel

Great hotel in central but quiet location near Exeter Cathedral, with friendly & helpful staff. Disappointed with new charges of £10 per visit since April 2024 for hotel guests to use the pool & spa.

I was a bit dubious when booking this hotel, having read some reviews, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel was busy, but there was ample parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Short walk from the Quay, Cathedral and town centre. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book to stay again.

William

Liked: Cleanliness
Everything was pretty average in terms of amenities, the room, beds and bathroom, nothing special, just did the job. Was clean enough. The corridor we was staying on smelt damp, as they was dehumidifying the corridor up from ours due to what look like flooding. During the night the corridors were loud with guests running and shouting. Car parking should really be included due to the size of the car park and available spaces but I guess it's an easy way for the hotel to make more money, especially at £15 per night. Staff were nice enough. Think overall standards in the hotel industry have dropped in general, and you don't really get much for your money anymore, this hotel is a good example of that, just feels like a room you stay in, nothing special. Location of the hotel is the best part.
