Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with views over Exeter and a bath with plenty of hot water but the blinds were simply not capable of blocking out the light. The staff were friendly and talented, providing excellent customer service upon arrival, although the breakfast management needed improvement. The hotel is within the walled garden, close to the waterfront and the Christmas market, making it very convenient for exploring Exeter. The dining experience was served in a relaxed atmosphere, offering a selection including Eggs Benedict. The facilities are well-equipped and convenient.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were well-equipped, but the lack of privacy in the bathroom was a drawback. The digital control for all services in the bedroom was convenient, and I enjoyed the nice coffee machine and beautiful toiletries provided. The superior double room lacked privacy in the bathroom.
The hotel has a great central location, perfect for exploring the city. The rooms are modern with high-tech features, although the service can be slow at times. The dining options are convenient, but not included in the stay.
I found this hotel to be a mixed bag - the rooms were comfy and well-equipped with the tiniest bathroom setting, but the facilities here were great. The service was top-notch, but the notion of champagne in a hospitality setting needs some thought.
