Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is located really close to the city center and the train station. It's also conveniently situated near the Cathedral. The rooms are spacious and come with a thicker blind or permanent cover on the balcony, making it perfect for families with a travel cot. The on-site dining offers the best pizza in town, and the facilities are top-notch. However, there's a slight hill to the train station, which can be a minor inconvenience.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its convenient location close to Exeter city center and St David's train station. The rooms were cozy and had some lovely extras, although they were on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, and the housekeeping was top-notch. The dining experience, especially enjoying the focaccia bread, was delightful. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall.
The hotel had a great location near Exeter city center with quirky extras. The rooms were nicely designed with an excellent breakfast. However, the service could have been better, and the dining lacked homemade dishes. The facilities provided added value to the stay.
