Very good, would stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was very good.
The room was quiet - either there were no noisy guests around me, or the rooms are well insulated against sound.

Gut schlafen im Zentrum
Pros:

Ordentliches Haus in zentraler Lage. Parkhaus mit Hotelrabatt gegenüber.

Cons:

Sehr sparsam mit Handtüchern. An beiden Tagen war das Dreibettzimmer nur mit Handtüchern für zwei Personen ausgestattet, was auf entsprechende Bitte jeweils umgehend korrigiert wurde. Aufgrund der zentralen Lage nicht ganz leise.

ogólnie zadowolona z hotelu, miejsca i obsługi; nieco za droga opcja śniadania
Pros:

W miarę dobra lokalizacja, dystans do stacji kolejowej nie dla każdego na piechotę (dodatkowy koszt taxi); bardzo blisko centrum samego Exeter; obiekt czysty (nie najnowszy, co widać w łazienkach...); śniadania - no cóż, full English breakfast :) oraz wybór płatków, jogurt, szynka, ser i jakieś owoce do tego, chleb (przeważnie biały niestety, ale glutenfree też dostępny standardowo); wybór nie jest jakiś duży, ale jeśli ma się po prostu zjeść śniadanie bez fanaberii, to zdecydowanie bardzo ok. Obsługa pomocna i uprzejma

Cons:

Troszkę urozmaicić wybór na śniadanie, jakieś ciemniejsze pieczywo, inne rodzaje wędlin - nie zawsze to samo; śniadanie nieco za drogie jak na zakres oferty

Pros:

Very clean, comfy, nice staff

Cons:

Breakfast room is cramped and was terribly busy on the day I stayed there - it doesn't seem suitably sized compared to number of rooms/guests. Selection was ok but not as good as other Leonardo hotels

Productive couple of days in a central city location
Pros:

Location is great. It’s a stones throw from the cathedral and city centre and sandwiched between two car parks

Cons:

Nothing. It was all great

A great hotel, suited to business and as a stopover for those on holidays.
Pros:

Superb breakfast with cleanliness and attention to detail a particular feature. A busy breakfast room was constantly cleared and cleaned. Plenty of room for working on laptop etc in a buzzing atmosphere.
