We found this hotel so well and thoughtfully furnished it was a delight. From the hooks at the back of the bathroom door to the full length mirrors, even the disability equipment in the bathroom was elegant.  …

Stayed overnight in one of the prestige rooms. A very nice hotel, staff are friendly and service is great. The room is spacious, modern, well equipped and spotless. Had dinner here as well, a nice menu and the food was served in good time and was of good quality. A buffet breakfast was available in the morning and this was also good quality. Highly recommended. The location is ideal for visiting Exeter and the surrounding areas.

The room was a reasonable size with a very nice shower. The food was good, though choice poor. The staff were willing and friendly but not sufficiently trained yet. The pillows were awful - hard and lumpy. …

Great location near the city centre, staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are comfortable and spacious, and bathrooms are spacious and clean too.Pool was a little cold but the pool area is lovely and the gym is good for maintaining muscle and cardio, pretty old equipment but everything you need for a quick workout.Downsides.Charging £10pp to use the pool and hottub when we are already paying customers, this should be included in the room price and non guests should pay it not hotel guests.
