The hotel offers comfortable rooms at a good value, although the bar prices are not the cheapest. The service was outstanding, with polite and friendly staff providing a clean and comfortable stay. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Exeter Cathedral and the city center. The dining experience could use some improvements, with limited choices and slight disappointments.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit small and dated, but the freezing air conditioning was a relief on a hot day. The location was superb for exploring the city, but the nearby odors were a downside. The service was friendly but quite hit and miss at times, while the dining options were reasonable but overpriced. Overall, it had its pros and cons.

The hotel had great rooms with comfy beds and top bathroom facilities, but the room was uncomfortably hot for sleeping.

The dining experience was okay with an average English breakfast. Overall, clean and practical facilities at a reasonable rate.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although cozy and renovated, were unfortunately very noisy at night. However, thanks to Richard at reception and Lynne and the other staff in the bar and breakfast room, I felt well taken care of. The warmth during the night was a bit unbearable, but the overall comfort and decent breakfast made up for it.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic and the service top-notch, the rooms were in need of refurbishment and lacked cleanliness. The dining experience had its highs and lows, and the facilities left something to be desired.
The hotel has everything you would want and was clean, but the room was uncomfortably hot even though the heating was off. The service was welcoming and Polly at reception was very helpful. The location is perfect for exploring Exeter and its historic sites, but some areas need improvement. The dining offers some delicious options but lacks variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were in need of upgrading with stained carpets and tatty furniture; however, they had everything we needed and the beds were comfy. The musty smell of damp was off-putting, but I appreciated the quick response from reception when I requested a room change.
The hotel is conveniently located near everything a traveler could want, but the room I initially booked was too filthy to stay in, so I moved to the Cromwell suite. While the suite was large, the carpet and curtains were dusty, the sink tap wasn't working, the toilet door wouldn't close, and the shower cubicle needed updating. It was in the old part of this historic hotel.
The hotel was a bit hot and stuffy, a bit noisy due to its location on the main road, could have been cleaner, and felt a bit dark and musty. However, the manager was very nice about it and accommodated my needs, so that was appreciated. The service from the staff, including Richard at reception and Lynne and others in the bar and breakfast room, was lovely and very helpful. They made me feel really welcome during my stay. The location was great for exploring Exeter and very convenient for the city center. The dining experience on the 17th of November was one of the nicest I've had in a hotel, with a very friendly atmosphere. The facilities were good overall, although some improvements could be made.
