December 2024I stayed here in early December for 2 nights with work, the location was ideal for Exeter city centre and it was convenient that it included parking as one of our group had a hire car to drive to the office. The rooms were clean and well spec'd, comfortable and the two settings on the shower were nice and easy to operate. I would definitely stay here again.

February 2025Brilliant location, affordable price and the option to use the gym/spa/pool (at an extra cost). Room is absolutely divine, especially the bathroom with an amazing shower. Gym and spa/pool area slightly tired but very nice. The location is perfect for a night in Exeter. Housekeeping are fantastic and changed a double into a twin room with great service. Welcoming place and feels posher than the price of a room. Would definitely recommend.

February 2025Lovely classy hotel where all the staff are really helpful. Just a warning... parking is extra (£15 per night), and swimming is extra (£10 per person per session). So, if we wanted to swim on each day, that would be an extra £40 for the 2 of us. I don't know what a family of 5 would do! Very convenient for the city.

February 2025Hotel is decent, but the initial room I stayed in (ground floor) was really deteriorated and smelled like mold in the bathroom. I don't think anybody should be paying for this sort of room. Visited in february and the heating system did not work at all. There was an electrical heater in the room, but it was useless. The next day I have been upgraded to a privilege room which was really nice (heating was working and the bathroom has been reconditioned). Breakfast is plain, no options at all.
