Leonardo Hotel Exeter
9.2 (159 reviews)

Leonardo Hotel Exeter ★★★★

📍 Western Wy, Exeter

"What a perfect find. Great location and the loveliest of staff. So friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back when visiting my son at uni"

Mill on the Exe
9.1 (77 reviews)

Mill on the Exe ★★★★

📍 Bonhay Rd, Exeter

"We had a lovely 4 night stay at the Mill on the Exe whilst in town for the Women’s Rugby World Cup. The quiet location along the river offers easy access to the path into Flowerpot Park as well as fairly direct access to St. Bartholomew’s and the High Street via the Barbican Steps. The on site parking in a small private terrace was part of our reason for booking initially, but we were satisfied on all fronts. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with a window looking out on the Exe and a cozy aesthetic. The staff were always excellent and accommodating, providing logistics help when we needed to print updated parking passes for the rugby matches and greeting us warmly throughout. Housekeeping even double checked with us that we had fresh milk in the mini-fridge to accompany any tea or coffee we made in the room. We ate breakfast each day in the restaurant, served by the always friendly and efficient Nick, and found each dish delicious. (Our favorites were the smoked salmon toast and the smashed avocado toast, but the full English was also excellent.) On the final night of our stay, we made a reservation for dinner and enjoyed Sunday roast dinner as well as their absolute top of the line sticky toffee pudding, with friendly service and good recommendations by Cicely. We would absolutely recommend a stay at the Mill—as well as their dining experience—if you’re visiting Exeter."

Exeter Court Hotel
8.7 (64 reviews)

Exeter Court Hotel ★★★

📍 Kennford, Exeter

"Our driver stays in hotels all over the UK while transporting vehicles for our business, and he says this is by far one of the best places he stays. The hotel is consistently very clean, the service from the staff is excellent, and everything is well organised and comfortable. A major advantage for us is the parking. It is very convenient for larger vehicles, and our driver is able to park a truck and trailer without difficulty, which is not always easy to find when travelling for work. Because of this, whenever we have jobs in the Exeter area, this is always the hotel he prefers to stay at. Highly recommended and we will definitely continue using it whenever we are in the area."

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns ★★★

Premier Inn Exeter Central St Davids
8.0 (52 reviews)

Premier Inn Exeter Central St Davids ★★★

📍 Bonhay Rd, Exeter

"Great location,straight out of the station and it's in front of you and that's it I'm afraid. THE worst premier inn we've stayed in,requested a quiet room so we put in a room facing the station and main road and carpark. Moved to a room at the back of the hotel,it smelt so strongly of carpet cleaner or air freshener I was nearly sick. Huge Wetherspoons 100 yards away from back rooms,noise,noise and more noise and the filth the students leave all around the hotel is disgusting!! Went to the bar for a drink,none of the beers were available as there was a problem in the cellar but the expensive bottles were. Greeting by a gum chewing girl who didn't even look up when we checked in. Breakfast ok but Luke warm,dining room staff older and more professional. 3 nights we paid for and had so little rest.Whitbread in trouble,I wonder why. We won't be returning,it was just awful we booked a so called Premium room too!!"

Hotel Indigo EXETER by IHG
9.1 (65 reviews)

Hotel Indigo EXETER by IHG ★★★★

📍 3 Catherine St, Exeter

"I love the design of this hotel—it's a dream come true for William Morris fans! One thing to note: the hotel is located on a pedestrian-only high street, meaning cars cannot access the front entrance. The nearest taxi stand is at least a 10-minute walk away, which may not be ideal for guests with large luggage. However, Uber can drop you off near the shops, about a 6-minute walk from the hotel."

The Gissons Hotel
8.1 (94 reviews)

The Gissons Hotel ★★★

📍 Exeter Road, Exeter, Exeter

"Really nice people"

Hotel du Vin Exeter
8.5 (109 reviews)

Hotel du Vin Exeter ★★★★

📍 Magdalen St, Exeter

"The room was spacious with a beautiful view from the window! The service was excellent, and it was very close to the St. Luke's campus! The environment was clean and hygienic, with a bathroom and toilet! The space was very large!!"

Holiday Inn Express EXETER - CITY CENTRE by IHG
9.0 (96 reviews)

Holiday Inn Express EXETER - CITY CENTRE by IHG ★★★

📍 Tudor St, Exeter

"The room was spacious and had air conditioning, and the cleanliness was good! The location is excellent, about a 15-minute walk to the city center! The hotel also included breakfast, and while it wasn't a huge spread, the taste was still quite good."

The Exeter Inn Hotels in Exeter

The Exeter Inn

"We went to this Inn for a family of 22 birthday Sunday lunch, and they really looked after us. The food came out after about 15 minutes of us being there, but we were nice and settled at our table. The desert did however, not follow for another 60 minutes, but the place was very busy. The food and service were excellent, as was the warm welcome. Will deffo be back."

Southernhay House Hotel Hotels in Exeter

Southernhay House Hotel

"In a class by itself in poor Exeter, this small hotel exceeds on a number of counts. Personal attention from a local staff and on-site owner, beautiful curated rooms, outstanding breakfasts, perfect location for walkers (taxi from train station), private garden- quiet and green. It’s an historic home, 1805, of an East Indian company captain, with fabulous eclectic collection of paintings. The man, William Kirkpatrick, is highlighted in hotel literature, but full appreciation of his singular life requires reading the biography chapter of William Dalrymple’s White Mughals ( itself a revelation and delight). If life brings you to Devon, simply sleep here. Rooms require stair climbing."

Lord Haldon Country Hotel,Sure Hotel Collection B Hotels in Exeter

Lord Haldon Country Hotel,Sure Hotel Collection B

"Our superior king room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. Very large bathroom too with a large bath and separate shower cubicle. Bed was very comfortable and the room had lovely views. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. We drove to the hotel from the A38 to the hotel and the lanes were narrow (as are many lanes in Devon and Cornwall) but the drive through Haldon Forest was beautiful. We drove out the other way through Ide village onto the A30 which was a bit wider! Would definitely stay again."

South View Lodges Hotels in Exeter

South View Lodges

"We've just returned from a long weekend staying in Cedar Lodge based at the South View Lodges. I cannot recommend this place enough, from the moment we stepped through the door to the moment we departed we felt like we were in heaven. We were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly and a roaring fire. The lodge was immaculate and very modern. Jill came in and welcomed us and answered all the questions we had. She recommended local places to eat and showed us how to use the hot tub and log burner. She invited us to come and visit their alapas too! The weather wasn't on our side thanks to Storm Bert but this didn't take away from our weekebd away, the covered sunken hot tub meant we could still enjoy it despite the awful rain and high winds! It was the perfect excuse to actually relax and enjoy the surroundings whilst in the comfort of the beautiful, warm, and cosy lodge. A small selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate are provided, as well as toilet paper and cleaning products should you need them Highly recommend staying here and we wouldn't hesitate to go back! We also met Jill's husband Andrew who was equally lovely and welcoming. Thank you so much for a weekend we won't forget ❤️"

Mr & MRS Smith Weeke Barton Hotels in Exeter

Mr & MRS Smith Weeke Barton

"Bank holiday weekend with the extended family - Weeke Barton was perfect. 6 x en-suite rooms, plenty of living space with cosy nooks if you wanted. Bedrooms were well appointed and apportioned. The layout worked perfectly allowing the younger family members at one end of the house allowing the less young a quieter morning. The kitchen is large and well equipped and in the dining room there’s a table big enough to sit 12. Outside is lovely - sitting areas, fire pit (we didn’t use) BBQ. We did enjoy cricket on the artificial wicket! A lovely place to stay and we would recommend"
