Holiday Inn Express - Exeter - City Centre, an IHG Hotel is located in Exeter, within 4 miles of Sandy Park Rugby Stadium and 15 miles of Newton Abbot Racecourse.

We stayed over graduation for the University of Exeter. The staff was super hard working and everything was smooth, including the breakfast which was always well stocked and full hot breakfast. Kudos to the staff on keeping everything run smooth on the busiest week of the year. The rooms were bright and comfortable. We liked the location, easy to walk to the city center or to the Quay. Great stay, highly recommended.

Very well appointed, clean and comfortable room. Comfortable bed with high quality linen. Extensive range of TV channels including Sky Sports was a bonus. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff, helped solve a problem with redirecting a parcel for me with kindness and efficiency. Didn't eat breakfast, so cannot comment on the restaurant. Overall the hotel exceeded expectations and was only a short ride into Exeter.

FAQs about hotels in Exeter

A Host of History

Set around the Exe River, affluent Exeter has played a part in English history from the Roman era to William the Conqueror to the Spanish Armada. Its most impressive structure is the cathedral, begun in the 11th century and boasting the longest stone roof in England.

The surrounding green is a popular picnic spot, and the half-timbered buildings and red-brick façades of the neighbouring High Street house a host of shops. Even more are in the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping centres.

The Guildhall itself is considered England’s oldest municipal building still in use, while nearby Parliament Street is one of the world’s narrowest streets. The remains of 11th-century St Nicholas Priory are now a museum, and there are more red-stone ruins at hilltop Exeter Castle (or Rougemont Castle), built into the Roman walls.

Exeter Central Station is behind the castle, while St Davids Station is nearer the university. The large student population means that the city has good nightlife, and some bars are located by the Quayside, site of Custom House. The river flows past Topsham and Powderham Castle to enter the sea at Exmouth.

To the east are Exeter Airport and the Westpoint Arena exhibition centre, both easily reached from Booking.com’s hotels with spas, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

    The huts was perfect!

    The huts was perfect! Location was amazing so peaceful will definitely be going again. Host was great at communicating and helped with any little query. All I would reccomend is taking plenty of fire lighters, kindling and logs for the log burner especially at this time of year. The host does provide logs but its easier just taking them with you so youre prepared. No towels provided just be aware but that was expected anwyays.

    Love Exeter but would have booked a different hotel.

    Love Exeter but would have booked a different hotel. Hotel hosts a lively lot maybe due to the price and is in a main road. Was originally put in an accessible room which I didn’t need and the facilities were awful, dirty, mouldy and homeless people sleeping under the canopy outside making lots of noise. Needs a bathroom renovation on the 2nd floor in the accessible room.

    Our experience of Exeter was pretty limited as we were only there for 2 nights and our stay coincided with Storm Ciaran. Consequently we only saw parts of the city. The old part was pretty with some nice independent shops and a Medieval trail. Unlike other UK cathedrals, there is a charge to enter Exeter's. There are also two excellent Wetherspoons housed in historic buildings and a pretty healthy high street. Had the weather been better and our stay longer, we would have explored more.

    Exeter is the central hub of Exe valley - with many shops and facilities. It was a Roman town and since then has undergone many changes including significant central area refurbishment since WWII. However, many building reflect the historical nature of the city - including its Guildhall and Cathedral.

    The White Hart is in a good position in Exeter close to the main shopping area and is one of the few hotels (maybe only hotel) in the city centre to have a car park that is not only free for guests but also large enough to fit all cars. The bedroom and bathroom were large and clean, and the decor of the hotel in general was of a reasonable standard and there is a lovely garden area - if you can get in. The staff were generally friendly and the breakfast was cooked to order and fantastic.

    The hotel was small and cozy, the room was clean and had everything that was promised. The owner was super lovely and very helpful with all the questions and requests we had. The location of Oakcliffe Hotel is perfect for anyone arriving to or leaving from Exeter St David's station, and just 15mins on foot from the city centre. Definitely good value for the price offered, and a nice place to stay in Exeter!

    I was made very welcome on arrival and the gentleman on the desk could not have been more helpful. The breakfast could not be faulted with a selection of food en-par with the best of hotels. I am disabled so the location was a little difficult and being on a rather dangerous corner, I had to walk down the hill as it was difficult for the taxi to stop immediately outside.
