Hotel was brilliantly placed, literally a 5-10 minute walk in to the town centre, or a 2 minute taxi ride if you preferred. Staff were very friendly and helpful, had no issues with them at well! Managed to get parking in the car park, £15 per night seemed very steep compared to a lot of hotels I’ve tended to stay at which are free, however the way Exeter is made up I think that’s probably just going rate within the City as you’d have to pay for overnight parking elsewhere anyway. Hotel bar area was really nice for an evening drink, we didn’t have dinner there but breakfast was very good which was included with our stay. I’d upgraded to a “Privileged” room for me and my partner which was fairly comfortable, but dust on the ceiling around the aircon clearly showed the room hadn’t been very well cleaned. Minibar which we’d paid £15 per night had some good drink options, however weren’t cooled which was also a shame. I also found the pillows very hard, but maybe that’s personal preference. All in all I felt the hotel was perfectly fine for a night away close to the City Centre, but considering I’d upgraded I felt like it was a little overpriced in terms of value for what we got. I would probably return, but I’d also be tempted to check out other options for next time.

Avoid!!!! Don’t waste your money!!!!

Very disappointed!!! Very impersonal reception staff, limited customer service. Tired, dated room. The toilet flooded the floor each time it was flushed so had to remember to close the lid before flushing. Very busy carpark, so lucky if you manage to get a space (£15 for 24hrs) At the end of our stay, my husband unfortunately left his wallet in the room which we didn’t realise was missing until the next morning. On contacting the hotel they were very unsympathetic and apparently not had anything handed in to lost property, and although we can’t prove anything, we know it was left in the room on our departure…Leaving us feeling very angry and let down!!.. I’ve stayed in many premier inn hotels for a fraction of the price and experienced much higher standards in all areas . NEVER again will I waste my money on this expensive hotel. If you are thinking of booking, truly, DON’T BOTHER!!!!!!

Excellent hotel

Generally excellent hotel with good location particularly for the price. Disappointed that the additional cost to use the swimming pool wasn’t made evident at booking.

If you're thinking to book, do it.

We stayed for 2 evenings and it was an incredibly welcoming and enjoyable experience. From the welcome to the bar in evening and the hospitable staff at reception are something to be proud of for this particular hotel. Steve and Radu were the two gents we spoke with, would recommend!!

On arrival car park was full even though we prepaid. Our hotel room was very tired dusty with cobwebs, this was definitely housekeeping at eye level. The fan in the bathroom randomly came on during the night which kept us awake. There was a Christmas party in the restaurant with guests from the party using the bar instead of using the bar in the restaurant which impinged on other hotel guests there seemed to be no organisation. Also guests from the Christmas party were incredibly loud and had no respect for other guests. It looked like a university Christmas party. Our meal from a limited menu was a lot to be desired. We ordered starters a member of staff came to say it we couldn’t have what we chose so we had to have something else, the chicken schnitzel was over cooked and dry my friend ordered pizza which tasted funny, we were unable to finish our meal. The breakfast next morning was unorganised with guests waiting for food that took ages to come to the hot pass with other guest commenting on how long it took to fry eggs one guest had been waiting for 20mins. The staff all looked stressed and were trying their best and kept apologising for the delays. I have to say I have stayed in a Premier Inn for a lot less and had better service.
