Due to husbands business meeting, we stopped overnight at the City Gate as we have used them before. The staff where helpful and food excellent. Nice that they have started to use crisp white bed linen. As my husband left early for his meeting, I went to breakfast later and although on my own I felt at home as everyone... more

The City Gate Hotel was easy to find, a pleasant stay and the staff were all very friendly and approachable. It's really nice to have a pub downstairs where you can get a drink at normal, rather than hotel prices. We stayed over a weekend and had no problems with noise, and we were first floor at the front of... more

I chose this hotel when on business in Devon, based on the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor and, to be honest, I've not been very impressed by it. When I booked over the phone, I was told that although there was no hotel car park, there was an NCP directly opposite that was free between 6pm and 8am, so that suited... more

We stayed here for an event that was being held at the pub. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the pub is very pleasant, with a roaring fire and the like. The hotel is also very central (the cathedral can't be more than five minutes walk away). The room was perfectly reasonable as well. Breakfast was also very... more

Stayed here with my partner as a friend was having a 40th birthday celebration in the cellar bar on the first weekend of November. Room was clean with everything you need plus a wide screen TV (but with only four tv channels available!). Very handy for city centre shops, cathedral etc and we paid only £65 a night because we... more

We stayed here for two nights, and would certainly return. The room was clean and bright. I had asked for a quiet room, and was given room 13, overlooking the courtyard. We were very impressed with the helpful staff, and the breakfast in the morning was very good. I would recommend this hotel, it is close to the town centre,... more

We asked for a quiet room at the front of the hotel and were given a room above the entrance to the courtyard, rather than over the bar, so we appreciated that. Windows on two different sides. Saturday night was a little bit rowdy, though only to be expected and no problem really. Breakfast was very nice – charming blonde... more

We stayed in The City Gate Hotel for one night. In many ways it is a charming place, but with a bit of 'this place would run really well if there were no guests' .... . However, first impressions were good. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff for check in, but quickly had the feeling that the staff... more

Exeter is a bit outside of my usual business travel and so I was left to my own devices in finding a location. Using tripadvisor, I selected this property. It was comfortable, with internet access (always important as a business traveller) and a clean room with a nice set of real ales downstairs (I'm a CAMRA member). I'd come back... more
