Top Exeter's Historic Quayside Hotel Reviews

The Devon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking was good. Room was good. Restaurant was good too! Access to room from car park, which is a little unusual! Staff very friendly and helpful"

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"Spacious with a substantial bar and dining room, centrally located, opposite Exeter Central station with train, bus and taxi connections to Exeter St David's."

Holiday Inn Express Exeter - City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice room, don’t like the disabled bathroom"

Queens Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

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

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."

Southernhay House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We got the largest room they had. It was literally an apartment across the street on the basement level. Right outside the bedroom was a walkway/pedestrian route and people walked by all day and all night. Definitely wouldn't recommend that room even though it was extremely spacious. The people working the hotel were friendly."

Mill on the Exe

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. Room had everything needed. Would stay again."
