It doesn't look very nice from the outside but once inside it was lovely, very clean and staff very friendly and attentive. Rooms were spacious and very clean indeed.food was excellent evening meal and breakfast. Only downfall was no car park so had to pay an extra £14 on that.staff are extremely friendly considering the company expect them to do the job of 4 people 🤔 shame on you.you should look after and value your staff

Nice new style hotel with comfy room, like the purple LED’s in bathroom. ||Easy to find, the biggest issue was finding parking in the car parks over the way which also serve the railway station but I did arrive at 1630. …

This is a very clean, modern Premier inn. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful, cheerful and very welcoming.In terms of comfort, cleanliness, facilities and service this is the best Premier inn we have stayed in.Location is directly opposite St David's Train Station with easy train access to Exeter Central and many frequent buses. If you fancy walking it is about a 15 minute walk to central Exeter.There is a long stay car park with a 5 minute walk to the premier inn.

Superb location to board regular trains to Exmouth, Paignton, Okehampton and Barnstaple. A typical modern Premier Inn across the road from the station.  …

1st time staying in a Premier and have to say it definitely impressed. Our room was lovely,clean,extremely comfy bed. The hotel location was perfect for us,just a short walk into town or if going by train the station is directly opposite. There is no on site parking so we parked on the station car park about 5 mins walk down the road,it's the cheapest of the 3 car parks and we had no issues at all,just download the app and pay for how ever long you are at the hotel for. We'd definitely recommend staying here and when we come back will be looking at booking again

Stayed at Premier Inn (Exeter Central St. David's) as met relative from Cornwall for birthday treat. (Hotel is conveniently located more or less opposite station & although there's no car park, we parked in station car park which was convenient. As has always been the case with Premier Inn, rooms & bathrooms well equipped, maintained & spotlessly clean. Beds & pillows superbly comfortable to ensure customers get a good night's sleep. Bathrooms have Bayliss & Harding toiletries which are luxurious. Unfortunately I had suffered very bad flu so despite high temperature was very shivery & cold although one lovely hot bath later, went to bed & woke feeling somewhat better.Both evening meal & breakfast next morning were enjoyed. Everything cooked fresh. Particularly enjoyed sausages, black pudding & scrambled egg which I believe is all locally sourced. Very tasty, well laid out/presented & staff truly lovely. Highly recommend.

The rooms were very spacious and great value for money. I am really noticing "the little things" tonight as we're staying in a Travelodge for the next 4 nights (as the closest PI was 10 miles from where we need to be) :( Things like the coffee table and the little note saying "make yourself at home", plenty of coat hangers, a large bathroom, and fancy lights, all contribute to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. You don't feel like you're living out of your suitcase. They all really make a difference.All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.The beds were exceptionally comfortable; we all slept very well.
