We had a fantastic stay here on 4th Feb 2012. The staff were extremely happy and helpful. Our room was very spacious and large. I would recommend this hotel to all. Also the Barn Owl pub adjacent in the car park serves wonderful evening meals More

Stayed here a couple of times now on business. It's really handy for the M5 motorway and the Exeter Business Park. Rooms are good and breakfast is typical HIE fare. There's a good pub across the (large, free)car park with a good choice of food (The Barn Owl). Its a Vintage Inn so if you know one of those you... More

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT !!!! Very welcoming, friendly staff - quick booking in, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel was spotless and our room (210) was first class - very spacious with a large bathroom and shower, all very well equipped. The 'Park and Ride' bus stops right outside and takes you into Exeter City Centre (15... More

I have stayed here a few times as I was on a massage training course located at the Regus offices behind the hotel. I really like the fact that it's so accessible, just off the motorway junction. Staff were always very pleasant and helpful. I did have a few problems the first stay due to being in an adjoining room,... More

Located 2 minutes from the M5 junction 29, the hotel location avoids the need to navigate Exeter city centre, but still within 15 minutes drive to the city (20 minutes to the University). Parking is ample and free, which doesn't occur with city centre hotels. The layout is very standard for the chain (this was our first visit, but my... More

This Holiday Inn Express is located just off the Junction 29 of the M5 motorway and on the outskirts of Exeter. However, for ease and cheapness of travel into Exeter there is the Honiton Rd Park and Ride facility just across the road. The journey in to the city takes between 20-30 minutes and saves you money on finding and... More

During our 8 night stay in this hotel I can honestly say it was faultless. All areas of the hotel are immaculate. The rooms were well equipped and cleaned each day, we were given fresh towels and all refreshments were restocked etc. The complimentary breakfast was great with a wide selection always available. We visited the The Barn Owl pub... More
