Took my partner away for the weekend and I have to say we had a really great time. The Bars and Restaurant were Brilliant, even the Breakfast was Great ( even I couldnt eat it all, and thats saying a lot ! ). The bedroom was nice and big ( a bit noisey in the evenings with music from the... more

I booked to stay at the Royal Exeter as it was right opposite Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) where I was due to see Derren Brown. Being a single female, I wanted to be within walking distance of a hotel, so as not to be wandering around alone at night. Looking at the hotel website, It looked quite luxurious, so I... more

I enjoyed my stay at the Royal Exeter and was very impressed by the staff and the communal areas (bars etc). Overall the hotel was of a good quality and the facilities lived up to expectations.

Potatoes & veg did not arrive at all, had to tell waiter, when they arrived they were cold. was told no cider at all in hotel when I asked for half pint... more
