Hotel Indigo EXETER by IHG
9.1 (62 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."

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

Leonardo Hotel Exeter ★★★★
"The hotel is in a good location for a city centre stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Reception excellent. Bar staff excellent, restaurant staff excellent. The room was very clean and well laid out. Tea and coffee making in the room. Bed was very comfortable. The room was cleaned during our visit, bed made, cups replaced, etc. We were on the 5th floor and the lift was always available, although it was quiet. We ate at the hotel on the first night and the food was very tasty with quite a good selection, as well as a good selection of drinks at the bar. We were advised of a special offer if we joined the Leonardo Advantage Club of 15% off drinks and food, when paying off a tab which really helped. We booked a breakfast for the first morning. Breakfast is buffet style with all sorts of juices, coffee, cereals, yoghurts, etc. It was a very good selection for this size of hote. Breakfast was served between 7:00am and 11:00 am and our only criticism was that when we got to breakfast at 10:00am, some of the hot buffet items were warm going on cold. We were told that this was a problem with the hotplates but we felt that the hot food should have been checked more thoroughly. To the hotels credit, we were compensated for the breakfast problem. All in all we had a great 2 night stay and would stay at this hotel again."

Mill on the Exe ★★★★
"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."

Premier Inn Exeter Central St Davids ★★★
"I didn’t stay the night, but on a night when trains were stopped everywhere, I didn’t know what I was doing and I needed a drink. I thought it would be chaos but I sat in a corner and it was oddly peaceful. The staff were lovely. A lady with brunette hair and glasses cleared my table and was very polite and smiley. A tall bald man served me and asked how I was doing. I appreciated the peaceful and friendly environment in the madness, while I figured out what I was doing. Thank you."

"The room itself was fine, but I noticed there was serious fibreglass in the air in my room. I saw it floating in the air and when I came home to do my laundry, it was all over my clothes and my skin was extremely irritated for the next day or two. That’s honestly the only issue i had with the hotel. Staff overall were nice and relatively helpful."
