This is an excellent hotel. I had absolutely no issues with it. The location is amazing, we loved the 3 onsite bars too. Would recommend staying here

United KingdomBeautiful hotel and location few minute walk to the beach, very friendly and helpful staff.
United KingdomThis hotel is in a great location, it's only a 2 minute walk to the sea front. The staff at this hotel were absolutely fantastic; always helpful and incredibly friendly
United KingdomBooked it for its location which is central to everything. Staff were very polite and helpful. Room very clean. Would stay there again and would defiantly recommend this hotel
United KingdomSupurb for attending event at the BIC. Very helpful and polite staff. Very lively after 11 pm entertainment. Room large and clean.
United KingdomHad another lovely stay at the Royal Exeter.The staff are so welcoming and the renovated cocktail bar and restaurant are fabulous!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!
United KingdomThis hotel is great as it has it’s own car park and is a two minute walk to the BIC. The hotel itself was very clean and the staff were good. Only disappointment was the restaurant menu. We booked an early evening meal but everything on the menu was more tapas-based or poke bowls which are cold. Apparently it is a new menu but not for us so we didn’t eat there after all and had a ‘proper’ meal elsewhere
United KingdomBed was really comfortable it was warm and welcoming
United KingdomGreat location. But the best is the reception staff. Big thank you for them for their cooperative spirit and helpfulness. I must mention a lady called “Noura” -i hope I spelled her name correctly- who works in the reception. She was one of the best hotel receptionists in my experience. Very kind and responsive. She made sure i get the best experience. Thank you Noura.
