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

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.

Very close to Exeter Uni and the Railway station. Affordable, well kept and well maintained. Attention to detail - loved the cafetiere in the room and fan for the heat. Staff were present at night for security. They helped keep my lunch in the fridge in the heat which was really appreciated. Accepted that the room had a shared toilet and bathroom
