My wife's birthday treat so we could eat at Cote and relax with pool and jacuzzi. On arrival informed pool was out of action but might be back on later. In the room was a birthday card and chocs from the hotel and 2 free drinks at the bar. After a nice evening at Cote we settled down but noticed just a coffee machine on show. It was 5 am and no reply from room service or the desk. So we had to drink pink wine.. 8.30 dressed and visited the desk. Told the Pool was back on and that tea and milk were in a cupboard under the TV. Back to the room and found tea facilities in a cupboard.. visited Pool but it was very cold .. sauna and jacuzzi were good. So would I return.. after all the drama. .. Absolutely .. after all location is perfect for Xmas market, shops and Cote. and now I know where they hide the tea and kettle.

Great hotel in central but quiet location near Exeter Cathedral, with friendly & helpful staff. Disappointed with new charges of £10 per visit since April 2024 for hotel guests to use the pool & spa.

I was a bit dubious when booking this hotel, having read some reviews, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel was busy, but there was ample parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. Short walk from the Quay, Cathedral and town centre. Would definitely recommend and would definitely book to stay again.

Late arrive no room service mixed message about when it finished. It was OK but not great... Can be drematicaly improved for little cost. Example... The information sheet given at reception is the 'cheep' yellowish type it just smacks of penny pinching for the cost of quality even if recycled it could be better. I slept very well as it was quiet and comfortable. Bathroom was good quality and v. clean

Room was old, mattress needs to be replaced. Restaurant staff were lovely. Once again we got caught with no breakfast included due to booking through Expedia. At £16.95 it was to expensive so walked up to the High street and bought groceries as there was a fridge in the room.
