Top Exeter Hotel Reviews

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Really good stay, been couple times now and still as good as day one. Excellent location"

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"A ten minute walk from the centre. The car park was small and expensive. The property itself is attractive and the room was clean and comfortable, if not particularly spacious. Was given a £7.50 voucher for a drink as I was willing to forego my room being cleaned after the first night. A good range of cocktails in the bar. The bar itself did feel a little like it was taking up a space rather than being a focal point of the ground floor. But it was a pleasant stay."

The City Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Super friendly staff."

The Gissons Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stop Over , comfy Bed, plenty of hot water and room was clean and very warm, lovely lady on Reception on arrival, will stop next time for definite."

The Devon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great facilities"

Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club

8/10 Good

"The room was a good size, with everything you need. It was a bit tired with the carpet threadbare in places and the bathroom needing a deep clean, paint and fresh mastic. The food in the restaurant was reasonable, but the service was slow and it was clear they were understaffed and getting things wrong."

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent location to explore Exeter City. Short 5 minute strole to the Cathedral and shop. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only criticism we had was that the breakfast buffet was tepid at best both mornings that we were there."

"The room was clean and spacious. The staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Parking very useful but very narrow."
