We stayed in Exeter for two days for a Cliff Richard concert at Powderham Castle, and after a last minute change (the place we were originally going to stay had very bad reviews) we settled on the Holiday Inn Express to rest our heads for the two nights. It was a brand my partner and I were both familiar with,... More

I stayed at this hotel this week. I can say its a lovely hotel, the staff are very friendly. I found the rooms to be very big, most hotels the rooms are a lot smaller and some are too small, I can say I was quite impressed with the rooms. The breakfast is free and it tasted good, there is... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at the beginning of June 2013. I had some concerns after a recent poor stay at the HIE near the NEC. However, the hotel is located very close to the M5 and we found it to be clean, comfortable and received excellent service despite checking in late and with a dog. The breakfast... More

This hotel is conveniently located off the M5, and by the sound of things overhead, also near to the airport. The check in staff are excellent. However the room is very Premier Inn, ie no bath, just shower, no toiletries just that awful liquid soap and shower gel/shampoo dispenser in the shower and plastic beakers for your toothbrush etc. They...

My husband & I stopped over for 1 night only on our holiday drive through South West England. The hotel is not exactly off the motor way as we discovered later hence 4 out of 5 for location. The receptionist was warm, friendly and went out of her way to help. We needed a chemist to purchase prescription medication, an... More

Once again I must applaud H.I.Express for another very good hotel. The staff were most helpful and the rooms immaculate. We had a large room with twin beds that were really comfortable. The breakfast varied and more than sufficient. The hotel was ideally located for visiting Exeter as there was a park and ride facility very close by. Hopping on... More

We spent two nights in this hotel in Exeter, mainly to visit the historical buildings in the area. The hotel is in a business park away from the city traffic. That was one of the reasons for selecting this hotel. We stayed in another Holiday Inn Express in Southampton before coming here. The hotel rooms in both hotels were very... More
