"Arrived at the Mews and had difficulty finding keys as instructions were not very clear. I had paid extra for a parking permit and no permit was provided in the unit, had to pay again to park car on street as we were warned that they monitor these streets day and night. We booked this unit as we needed to do some laundry, it lists a washer and dryer in the amenities to find out we only had a washing machine and no dryer. Tried calling the housekeeping number and did not get an answer till 9am...

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in a good location for visiting Exeter. Car park is across the road with £10 24hr parking discounted from the hotel. Bar is good but overpriced Rooms were of a good standard we had decent nights sleep, comfortable beds & decent shower. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice to fill you up for the day."

The Devon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very good clean room air condition was working perfectly as whether was hot staff friendly definitely recommend to all "

Exeter Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great place to stop off on way to Cornwall. Bed comfy, great bathroom. Pleased there was a fan as room was quite warm (couldn’t open windows). Meal in evening good and breakfast great. Staff helpful and friendly. Some areas a little tired."

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff friendly. Changed room due noise no problem."

St Andrews Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice independent hotel. As others have mentioned the noise from the road is so loud and constant. But if you have some decent ear plugs that shouldn't stop you staying here. Great location for dinner at the Quay and free parking. O ly slight downside was having to pay £10 for a lost room card whilst standing watching them put a newpiece of plastic in the machine to allocate to room. This shouldn't really be £10 as the rooms are probably expensive enough. I'd probably stay again but mainly because of the location and parking. Staff are pleasant enough. Breakfast ok - altho the sausages were as cheap as chips."

Queens Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, thanks so much!"
