The location was brilliant, the staff polite, friendly, welcoming and efficient. We had a suite for a special weekend deal and it was lovely, with everything we needed although a little dark however sadly the bed was quite uncomfortable, sagged in the middle. We ate dinner one evening and were really surprised at the excellent standard. Free parking a great... more

We held our wedding here and have to say that from the moment we started making arrangements, nothing was too much trouble. The staff were fantastic and tailored everything from the menu to the running order to our exact requirements. The food on the day was wonderful as was the discreet but very efficient service provided by the incredibly courteous... more

Loved the old fashioned polite unobtrusive good service. We were made really welcome by friendly reception staff. Our bags were carried to our room. Reception apologised that because it was graduation weekend there was a reduced menu and they would understand if we didn't want to dine at the hotel. They brought the menu to our room and it looked... more

Shying away from the faceless, multi roomed chain hotels in Exeter city centre, my partner and I opted to stay at the small, family owned St Olaves Hotel, nestling away in its own little sanctuary, only yards from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Here we found a delightful little hotel, with a dozen or so rooms, tastefully... more

Most impressed and we have seen plenty. Location very handy for city centre with own car park. Large well appointed room with well appointed en suite. Food first class cooking is seriously good book in for DB&B and it's good value . Helpful staff. Tip work out your route to the place in advance if coming by car and look... more

Its interesting that the first review I read just before my making own contribution mentions the 'grumpy lady' on reception! After a telephone conversation with her I decided not to confirm my reservation. Her manner was just horrible. There are far better located and valued hotels in Exeter. more

I'm sorry to say this hotel was a total, absolute disappointment and completely misrepresented on their website. Having booked an en-suite deluxe room for a 3-day stay I left within an hour after complaining that the room allocated (you bumped into the bed as you opened the door) was far too small, a second room was offered which was larger... more

On first glance St Olaves is a great choice, the location is wonderful and the walled garden and outside of this fine old building lovely - shame you ever have to go inside really. There was a wedding going on so to be fair I didn't see all the hotel but what I did see was enough to put me... more

I went with my boyfriend and my parents and we booked through late rooms. This hotel is split into two buildings and is minutes from the high street so is a brilliant location. The car park is quite small but the little courtyard garden was brilliant as it was a sun trap. The rooms were a little hot but my... more
