Top Exeter's Historic Quayside Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Exeter - City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"As expected for this chain, room size and quality was excellent, and is a reasonable (albeit up-hill) walking distance of the city centre."

The Devon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel particularly for people with a car. Convenient car access and plentiful parking. Area is near a motorway and with an open window there was some minor car noise but otherwise quiet. The area is not walkable and there are no nearby shops or restaurants. On the other hand, the attached restaurant was excellent both for breakfast and supper. Staff was extremely helpful. Never used the gym so cannot comment there. Good wifi and plentiful hot water."

Queens Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and we will stay again. Breakfast was excellent x"

Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff and impressive view."

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location between the city centre and the quayside, ideal car parking, great room, really nice bar and restaurant, will definitely stay here again when we go back to Exeter"

St Andrews Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within walking distance of Exeter centre. Parked there on arrival after checking with member of staff if that was ok. Bedroom looked like recently refurbished, bed was very comfortable. We had a room at the back so nice and quiet as hotel on quite a busy road. Work was being done on the hotel but didn’t hear any noise from it on the Friday afternoon when we checked in. Bathroom could have done with a little extra cleaning re mould on grout but didn’t affect us. Good shower with plenty hot water. Large towels though one was a tad shabby if I really need to pick a fault, still worked ok. Tea, coffee, milk and a couple of biscuits supplied. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. Excellent full English breakfast in the morning with very attentive member of staff on hand. Asked if I could have juice which was on the continental menu and noticed he then offered juice to other visitors who ordered from the main menu. Excellent service. Would have no issue staying there again, would probably ask for the same room. All in all a very good hotel at an excellent price"

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Great service from the front desk, restaurant, maintenance team and bar staff."

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and the offer of a free drink in the bar in exchange for no housekeeping is clever. Such a good idea. Unfortunately the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night dominated all the communal areas of the hotel which meant that we couldn’t have the nightcap in the bar we were hoping for, as well as there being the thumping of the music from the wedding in our room until well after 11pm. Had we known yet the bar area would be pretty much out of action to other guests we might have chosen to stay elsewhere."

The City Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. lovely beer garden lovely bar lovely property really nice rooms"
