3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable stay

A spacious hotel, comfy beds and nice bathrooms, if a little dated in places. Only a one night stop for a family occasion, really well positioned in the city and easy parking (although chargeable).
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent value for money

Great stay at the Mercure. We had a double room that was generous on space, a very comfy bed and a lovely bathroom. We came back to the bar late evening and the service was excellent. It is perfectly placed to be able to walk into the centre of town or the quay in five minutes. It has its own car park which is a bonus too.
Aimi, 1-night trip

Little break

Love the location . Hotel lovely bed comfortable, great bar. Would be nice to have a free swim with the booking, and less of a car park fee…

Lovely place to stay
Naomi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff and lovely breakfast with lots of choice. Wanted to use the pool and jacuzzi and was disappointed to hear there was a £10 charge per person. This seems wrong when he you are staying overnight as a hotel guest. Hotel in great position for shopping, cathedral and the quay.

Beautiful hotel and friendly professional staff

Our first impression was amazing but sadly we didn’t stay the night because our daughter and son was in a road accident so we had to leave with in 10 minutes of entering our beautiful room.
Mandy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Too hot!

Told air conditioning wasn't working on arrival but could open windows. Windows didnt open. Small fan available which did nothing. Hardly slept as room so warm and stuffy. Furniture looked old and bed frame had a rip in it.

8/10 Very good

Hotel was great. 1 room smelled a little damp in the wet room. The others smelt of smoke. But other than that they were great
Lee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable Stay

Great location for all the city bars, pubs and restaurants while being next to Exeter Cathedral. Nice comfortable stay.
Richard, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Exeter city hotel

Well situated hotel which I’ve stayed in before. Room was ok but the pillows really lumpy and uncomfortable and bed sheets bobbly feel. Very noisy as above entrance and staff lon break or guests smoking outside talking. Disappointing now costs £15 to park and also have to pay for pool use as this was included last stay. Not sure if I’d stay again.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip
