Lovely staff let down by rooms and communal areas that need investment.
Pros:

Big room, complimentary minibar and lovely staff.

Cons:

The room was very tired, and the curtains had multiple holes. The mattress was very worn and thin and doors throughout the hotel were chained and padlocked up which was very strange.

Nice hotel stay on my return visit to Exeter
Pros:

Very near to station and to venues I was going to during the weekend. Staff were friendly and room was okay, if a bit warm as no AC. A fan was provided.

Cons:

I was on the top floor and the 2 days I stayed the lift was out of order. I got my steps in though lol.

Affordable luxury.
Pros:

Everything! Sadly, I was only there for one night.
It's right opposite Exeter Central Station, so couldn't be more convenient, and really close to the Phoenix! Five minute walk at most.
The room I had was beautiful! Spacious, comfortable, luxurious...and incredible value for money! I stayed room-only, so can't vouch for breakfast.

Cons:

Towels are a bit small (it's a common problem!)
The stair carpet is really worn, on the beautiful grand staircase, but in the current financial climate it's not surprising that they maybe can't replace it at the moment. It's a minor problem.

Perfekt für einen Kurztrip geeignet
Pros:

Die Lage und das Personal beim Empfang war super. 🤩

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit war mittelmäßig. Hunde dürfen nicht in den Frühstücksraum. Der alternativ angebotene Tisch ist sehr weit vom Buffet entfernt.
