Perfekt für einen Tag in Exeter
Pros:

Ich hatte ein sehr gemütliches Zimmer im obersten Stockwerk.
Ich wurde herzlich empfangen und mir wurde alles, was ich wissen muss, sehr ausführlich erklärt.
Top Lage direkt in der Fußgängerzone.

A comfortable place in a very central location.
Pros:

Character of the place, very nice friendly staff. Temperature was 30+ and staff brought an ice bucket with a water bottle in it to my room without me asking. There was also a good fan so it was cool and comfortable. Very close to cathedral which is what I wanted.

Cons:

The Turks Head is on the High Street and England were playing Norway in the quarter finals of the World Cup so it was noisy! I didn’t really mind and the staff were so thoughtful putting ear plugs by the bed. I didn’t use them as I didn’t mind too much. I was pleased England had won too! I would stay there again and it wouldn’t be that noisy on a regular night!

Superbe.
Pros:

Excellent accueil et service, attentif et professionnel. Chambre tres confortable, lumineuse, literie au top. Nous avons passe un agréable weekend. Un grand merci pour vos petites attentions.

Cons:

La rue etait plutot bruyante, ce qui est completement normal pour le centre ville.
Il manque des etageres et autres rangements dans la salle de bain.
