Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a delightful stay at this hotel! The rooms offered a pleasant view from the attic space, complete with good toiletries and a comfortable bed. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our meals were enjoyable. The location right by the river was perfect for a leisurely stroll to the Christmas market. The dining experience, although not included in the price, was made memorable by the homemade bread. The facilities were well-maintained, making my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel is centrally located in the heart of Exeter, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms offer excellent facilities and a lovely bathroom, though other amenities may be lacking. The service was accommodating, with a pleasant housekeeping staff and a welcoming drink upon arrival. The dining options were varied, with baguettes being a highlight. Overall, a good value for the money with some minor drawbacks.
I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel! The rooms were so cozy and had the most beautiful view from the attic space. The only thing missing was an extra chair, but that was a minor detail. The service was top-notch; I even had a funny moment when the staff asked if I wanted them to call the manager during our meal! The location was superb, just a short stroll from the Christmas market and right by the river. The dining experience was delightful with authentic dishes, but slightly pricey. Overall, a great value for what you get.
