This hotel has a convenient location, just a short walk from the centre. I had ordered a standard room, but was offered an upgrade for 10 pounds. I think it was worth it. Staff was very helpful. The room was good and clean with a nice bathroom. The breakfast served next morning had a good selection. The hotel had a... More

Always stay here when in vicinity of Exeter. The hotel never fails to disappoint. Car parking is steep at £10 a day when you are out all day but there is a pay and display car park over the road which only charges between 8 and 6 so we always use this one. You can easily walk into the High... More

Right on the edge of Exeter city centre, a 2 minute walk to the shops, Cathedral and the business sector of Southernhay. Clean, good quality and the type of rooms and facilities you would expect froma higher quality hotel chain. Its the location that is good for me.

Stayed here for one night at the beginning of June. We chose it for the pool and jacuzzi and they did not disappoint. Everything was lovely and clean and the room (classic) was large with all the usual amenities. Very close to the cathedral and lots of restaurants to choose from. The only downside was that there was a wedding... More

Service from reception was excellent from the moment we called for directions on our journey into Exeter and throughout the check-in . We were made... More

Recently held a Summer ball at the hotel for 70 people. The evening went without a hitch and all the guests had a fantastic time and said the food was amazing, the staff were brilliant and couldn't help out enough. I would definitely recommend the venue. The only comment from our guests was that the drinks were a bit expensive,... More

We stayed over on our way to Cornwall and will be booking again for the return visit. Our only comment would be that the room we was given was a long walk from reception, this was a disabled room as requested due to my husbands current illness which makes it difficult to walk long distances. The facilities in the pool... More
