Pros:

Beautiful inside, we had half board and the food was great. Like the move towards sustainability.

I thought it was great that the evening meal half board included all 3 courses as some places don't.

Room was modern and clean, the restaurant felt high end but with a relaxed feel.

Cons:

I did wonder why they charged guests for parking especially when it's not in the center of the city. It would be nice to waiver that. Having said I felt that our stay was very good value for money.

We have to mention a couple of times that we were half board, it would be a nice touch if they picked that up on booking the reservation as it can make you feel uncomfortable to ask what's included on the half board room booking.

Lovely modern hotel, great facilities and helpful staff
Pros:

Lovey hotel, friendly staff

Cons:

Parking was quite expensive
Could do with more vegan options at breakfast (vegan oat milk is available and the beans and mushrooms are vegan but it would be good to have vegan spread too as well as more substantial hot vegan food)

Lives its values with drink stations, green water. Good local produce at breakfast. Good location
Pros:

Choice as t breakfast was good. Rooms were warm beds comfy

Cons:

Restaurant was already fully booked so had to eat elsewhere. No shaver/toothbrush charger in bathroom. Didn’t like the drink station being on corridor devalued it a little padding down in nightwear to get a cup of tea in the am

Great for weekend stay
Pros:

Very clean. Bed was very comfortable and it was a very reasonable price. Easy to get bus into centre of Exeter. Lighting and mirror in the room were good.

Cons:

Slightly annoying that tea and coffee is in the corridor and not the room but not the worst. I was woken one day by a plane (it's close to Exeter airport) and you can hear the traffic.

A comfortable stay, would happily stay again.
Pros:

Stayed for 2 nights and had a very good experience. The room was clean, well-sized, and comfortable. The staff were particularly helpful, we had an issue with a bad smell from the toilet when we first arrived, and they dealt with it promptly. They also quickly resolved a problem with the room heating (thermostat wasn’t responsive), which was appreciated. Breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of both hot and cold options, plus a chef available to prepare fresh, bespoke omelettes. Location works well too, Exeter isn’t a large city, so getting around is easy, and the hotel is conveniently placed.
