Breakfast, offering both continental and full English options, is a highlight, served in a lovely room; plus, it's an easy walk into Exeter's city centre.

the location suited my needs very well. breakfast had a good variety, including both english and continental options. i found the staff to be pleasant and helpful throughout my stay.. free parking was available at the back of the hotel.
the walls seemed quite thin, i could hear guests in adjacent rooms. i was woken during the night by the sound of toilets flushing. the room was very hot and due to the road noise, i had to close the windows.

serene stay

free parkingmodern decorperfect locationwater damage
i found the free parking quite convenient and the staff showed friendliness and efficiency upon my arrival. the hotel's interior had a modern decor that surprised me actually. i visited my son at university and the hotel's location suited my needs perfectly.
The water temperature had issues. Other guests faced this too. the skirting line near the shower needs more sealant, given the water damage. our room remained too warm, impacting our sleep.
