It was ok for one night. The room was small. Drinks were expensive. Parking overnight was also expensive at £16 a night. However reception staff were approachable and helpfull, cleanliness was good and the breakfast good.

Everything was good except *****

Everything was good except the very stained dirty looking chair that spoilt the otherwise spotless room. The chair may have been cleaned but the staining looked disgusting. Surprised as the management should be looking at it from a visitos perspective.

Very good standard no frills hotel!

A good basic base in Exeter! No frills, as expected, but we were happy with everything. Nice to have the bar serving good lagers on tap, breakfast pretty good, the room was of a really good basic standard.

Clean and straightforward

Clean and comfortable budget hotel, a short walk up the hill to city centre. Easy to park, though you have to pay some other company on an app. Friendly reception. Good stay.
