Exeter Court Hotel
"I always stay at the Exeter Court Hotel when I visit the city. Straight off the motorway, easy access, and parking with a petrol station opposite. The hotel is always clean and well presented, the food is lovely, breakfast is included, but dinner is reasonable. I highly recommend the salmon. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful and management now recognise me as a regular which is lovely. The rooms are always comfortable, and they also have extra facilities like an ironing board and fan beyond coffee and hairdryer. Easy to get to many places in Devon if you use this hotel as a base."
St Andrews Hotel
"Great hotel within walking distance of Exeter centre. Parked there on arrival after checking with member of staff if that was ok. Bedroom looked like recently refurbished, bed was very comfortable. We had a room at the back so nice and quiet as hotel on quite a busy road. Work was being done on the hotel but didn’t hear any noise from it on the Friday afternoon when we checked in. Bathroom could have done with a little extra cleaning re mould on grout but didn’t affect us. Good shower with plenty hot water. Large towels though one was a tad shabby if I really need to pick a fault, still worked ok. Tea, coffee, milk and a couple of biscuits supplied. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. Excellent full English breakfast in the morning with very attentive member of staff on hand. Asked if I could have juice which was on the continental menu and noticed he then offered juice to other visitors who ordered from the main menu. Excellent service. Would have no issue staying there again, would probably ask for the same room. All in all a very good hotel at an excellent price"
Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park
"Standard hotel, it’s fine, but nothing special"
voco Zeal Exeter Science Park by IHG
"Beautiful clean rooms and bathrooms. Just off M5 so very handy. Lovely staff around the hotel. Lovely bar facilities. Bit cheeky asking to pay £ 10 for car parking but I would still highly recommend thos hotel."
Leonardo Hotel Exeter
"Great service from the front desk, restaurant, maintenance team and bar staff."
The Gissons Hotel
"Room, bed, sheets & pillows amazing and tea, coffee, hairdryer essentials in place (accidental no toilet roll but sorted it). Road is noisy but would never mark it down for that, I knew before I arrived. Bar restaurant not open (again I knew before). Sadly that makes the place feel a bit lacking in atmosphere (& people). Seven Stars down the road, amazing food (check what nights kitchen open but always do pizza)"
Queens Court Hotel
"Close to centre Exeter, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff"
Holiday Inn Express Exeter - City Centre by IHG
"The room was Spotless. The bed waa comfortable- pillows a bit solid for me. Bathroom good but after showering the walk in shower water covered the floor making use of basin and toilet a bit hazardous. Breakfast was good and food regularly replenished."
Hotel Du Vin Exeter
"The room was lovely and the offer of a free drink in the bar in exchange for no housekeeping is clever. Such a good idea. Unfortunately the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night dominated all the communal areas of the hotel which meant that we couldn’t have the nightcap in the bar we were hoping for, as well as there being the thumping of the music from the wedding in our room until well after 11pm. Had we known yet the bar area would be pretty much out of action to other guests we might have chosen to stay elsewhere."
