Scenic Hotels in Exeter

"The rooms are clean and tidy, and the facilities are well-equipped. The location is excellent, making it convenient to walk to various parts of the city center. The only downside is that the parking fee is too expensive. It would be perfect if the parking were more affordable."

"I booked it on behalf of my friend and said it was good in all aspects"

"We stayed in two King rooms with balconies as a family and overall the hotel has a lot going for it. The location is fantastic — right in the heart of Exeter, perfect for walking everywhere. The hotel itself looks great, especially the sky bar on the top floor. The views are excellent, the drinks are very good, and the service up there was genuinely friendly and attentive. We also grabbed some nibbles in the downstairs restaurant and both the food and service were solid. The rooms were clean, spacious, and the balconies were a nice touch. Everything felt modern and comfortable. The only real downside — and it’s a big one — is the front desk service. For a hotel at this price point (and especially as an IHG property), it really let the whole place down. The staff were slow, not particularly knowledgeable (and I hate to add, not the ”quickest”), and quite short/rude at times. We were told when checking in that we’d get late checkout as IHG members, but when we returned later a different staff member had no idea what we were talking about and seemed confused about how to handle it. She eventually offered only one room until 12pm, which after a 3pm check-in really doesn’t feel like proper late checkout. We travel a lot and the front desk experience here was noticeably below standard. The rest of the hotel (rooms, bar, restaurant, location) is genuinely good, but the poor front-of-house service is what we’ll remember most. Would I stay again? Probably, because of the location and the rooms, but I really hope they sort out the front desk training and attitude."

"The room is well lit, clean and simply beautiful. The staff, especially Sahas (sorry, if I spelt your name wrongly), are friendly, helpful, resourceful, and patient. As a first time traveller to the UK, I found the hospitality so genuine and reassuring that my stay at the hotel was gonna be smooth and safe, considering the location of the hotel being slightly distant from the city. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was the fact that I didn't get to experience British pub and dining at the hotel itself because the hotel pub and restaurant are temporarily closed, I suppose. Anyway, the hotel makes a great effort to introduce several local restaurants nearby, so thank you for that. I will definitely be thinking of coming back to the Gissons the next time I look for an affordable, friendly, and comfortable hotel to stay in Exeter."

"Nice quality hotel, great staff. Good room and bar, no complaints there. For us the food choices were not great, one being vegetarian and the other not wanting such basic options. The proper restaurant on top of the hotel wasn't open on a Sunday. Thank goodness for take-away deliveries!"

"The room is large and the scenery outside the window is beautiful! Service attitude is very good, very close to the St. Luke campus! The environment is clean and hygienic, there is a bathroom and a toilet! There is a lot of space! !"

"The hotel is very close to the station, so it was not difficult even with my carrier. The hotel staff was very friendly and tried to provide me with good service. The hotel room was nice, but the shared bathroom was inconvenient. Of course, there weren't many guests and it wasn't crowded, so I didn't have any inconvenience in using the bathroom, but it was a little inconvenient to have to leave the room to use the bathroom. Other than that, the hotel breakfast was good, and everything else was good."

"As usual with my frequent visit to this area I find Woodbury Park hotel has been my preferred place to stay. Staff are lovely kind and helpful. It’s a beautiful hotel satin a very picturesque location surrounded by pleasant scenery. Hotels and rooms are very clean and well attended to. Restaurant services are clean and impeccable. Credit goes to the chefs and the team who managed the service. I have had a pleasant breakfast service during my stay at Woodbury. I hope the staff and the team at Woodbury keep up the good work and encourage us to use them during my future trips to the area."

"The hotel is in a lovely location, surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, I wish I'd had more time as there is some lovely walks from the hotel. My room and bathroom were spacious and clean, just a few cobwebs here and there which can easily happen at this time of year. My car was full of my son's university stuff, but because of the location I wasn't worried about leaving it in the hotel car park - I wouldn't have been able to do that in a city centre hotel. This is the second time I've stayed in this hotel for a Exeter Uni drop off and would recommend it, a comfortable, countryside stay at a good price around 20 minutes from the city. The lanes can be narrow in places but that is the case in most of Devon."
