Excellent hotel within walking distance of city centre and cathedral

szd55pilot 4/26/2024 TripAdvisor review

I enjoyed an excellent 2 night stay in this hotel in Exeter. It's about 25 mins walk from St David's station or a short taxi ride. Easy walking distance to the cathedral area or city centre shopping area. The staff were very friendly and super helpful. I needed to get a document printed and it was simple c/o reception staff - thank you so much, a great help! Breakfast was fine, usual selection of hot & cold buffet foods including some continental options. The bar area is older style (welcomed) and relaxing. The entrance is opposite to the side facing the large roundabout - took me a while to find it. The room (privilege) was great, lots of space, a proper desk, walk in shower and clean. Decor in good shape, windows overlooking trees and it was super quiet at night. All in all a great place for a short stay, highly recommended.

Very good stay at a good price

Liz Friends - 4/21/2024 Confirmed reviews ALL

The staff were all very helpful and polite. The room was clean and twin beds were provided as requested. The food was good. The dinner, bed and breakfast deal was very good value.

Excellent 4* city center hotel.

kkenny26 4/21/2024 TripAdvisor review

Superb location or a reasonably priced 4*, close to the quay with all the restaurants and views. Lovely rooms and very special pool with the usual facilities. We were 6 celebrating a 21st birthday, staff not only reserved a breakfast table but bent over backwards to assist in making the surprise special. Compliments to the staff that were working on 21st March 2024. Bar area is comfy and inviting, reception area luxurious and spacious. This was our second stay and will be our go to hotel in Exeter, especially as they offer dog friendly rooms. Highly recommended.

Thank you for leaving a review with us and we are glad to see you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards Jake Mountford | Duty Manager

Nearly there.

Meeting people in the evening so it was a great location. Happy to have a free drink as part of ALL membership but couldn't use ALL points at check in and was told it was only via app which means my points will expire without use. Nice room, comfortable bed
