Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was free! Breakfast was great - loved the sausages! The road was a little noisy but we did have window open and we were a bit warm despite there being a little fan in room. Great location as was walkable to city centre, train station and the quayside. Would recommend

8/10 Very good

Easy to find 5 mins walk from St Davids station up a big hill. Very quick check in. I got a very small room which was clean and tidy with everything expected, the bonus was i had my own balcolny whic was so nice. Breakfast was good but chaotic with such a small room and lots of people, some carrying hot drinks to their table.

Nice clean room, even had a small balcony! Superb location - 10 minutes walk from Exeter St. David's Railway Station, and only a 10 minute walk into Exeter City Centre. Staff very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

Unsure why other reviews as as positive, upon arrival I was told I was sharing a bathroom, this was not highlighted when booking but on on the email sent afterwards, I gave another £10 for my own bathroom. Then I was asked to hard over my car keys as I was parked in the car park in front of another car. I refused as they are not insured to fo this, I then managed to find a space as another car left the very tiny cramped car park. My room was very small, I had to put down my case in the bathroom as there was no floor space at all. The TV was tiny, my phone has a bigger screen. Only positive was the breakfast which was good.
