Le rapport qualité prix est ok.
Pros:

L’emplacement était pratique et le fait qu’ils aient un parking également.
Le petit déjeuner est pas mal, il y a du choix et il est vite servi.

Cons:

Le lit double est assez petit, nous avons eu du mal à être à l’aise avec mon conjoint.
Le petit déjeuner n’est servi que jusqu’à 9h ce qui est un peu tôt à notre goût mais cela reste quand même correct.
Le problème que nous avons eu vient surtout de la salle de bain ou lorsque nous avons voulu prendre notre douche nous avions une alternance eau chaude/eau froide assez désagréable avec peu de temps à la température réglée …

Great location, clean and friendly - would recommend.
Pros:

Everything was great, clean room, lovely breakfast and we were able to check in early which was a massive help to us.

Cons:

I am being really picky, but the bed was a little small. But to be honest that wouldn't put me off staying again or recommending them.

Pros:

Soltanto la gentilezza dello staff e la colazione servita al tavolo, molto buona e abbondante.

Cons:

Tutto il resto. Il bagno era un orrore. Il termosifone pieno di sporcizia evidente e ruggine, la doccia rovinata e sporca. Polvere ovunque e un ventilatore arruginito vicino al comodino. Inoltre, non è molto vicina al centro, abbiamo impiegato 10 minuti di auto. Quindi erano necessari 20 minuti a piedi per arrivare al centro.

Prima geslapen, lekker Engels ontbijtje gehad. En dichtbij station voor trein naar Plymouth.
Pros:

Personeel was rustig. Ontbijtje was prima. Badkamer prima & schoon. Ruimte voor je toiletspullen.

Cons:

Hotel heeft geen lift. Er wordt wel aangeboden om te helpen sjouwen. Viel niet tegen, maar handig om te weten als je slecht ter been bent en moeite hebt met trappen lopen. Personeel is wat timide in de ontbijt kamer. Ik vind het altijd leuk als ze een praatje maken; hoeft niet persé met mijn, maar met de klant in het algemeen kan ik waarderen.
Kettinkje van het rolgordijn was stuk.

A lovely stay in Exeter!
Pros:

We were very happy with St. Andrews Hotel. It was exceptionally clean. The cooked breakfast was lovely. And, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Not far from the centre, but if you cant walk there is a bus stop directly outside the hotel.

We had an excellent 26th wedding anniversary there!

Cons:

We would have given it a 10/10 but the only thing that was a little uncomfortable was that they were having the dining room refitted so the breakfast room was a bit of a squeeze! But, of course, that wont be forever!

Expectations
Pros:

Location for town access was very good. Easy walk

Cons:

The hotel is in the middle of a development area with building happening all around the hotel. Parking was closed but our car still managed to acquire a scratch on the bumper probably from staff moving equipment around.

Sympathisches, preiswertes Hotel an guter Lage
Pros:

Sehr schönes, geräumiges Zimmer, Parkplatz hinter dem Haus

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt an einer stark befahrenen Strasse. Die Fenster können das nicht ganz mildern.

Building work going on spoiled the stay, but once all finished it should be well worth a visit.
Pros:

Decent location ten minutes from city centre

Cons:

Could open curtains as scaffolding directly outside. Breakfast room far too small and staff couldn’t cope.

Polecam, hotel OK
Pros:

Duży pokój, czysto, dobre śniadanie, możliwość zaparkowania samochodu, za opłatą także po opuszczeniu pokoju. Dobry punkt, łatwe dojście do centrum, duży sklep w pobliżu.

Cons:

Hałas z głównej ulicy, na którą wychodziły okna naszego pokoju oraz wąskie schody prowadzące na piętro.
