Hotel The Devon Hotel
Matford, Exeter, EX2 8XU, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The room neat, clean, comfortable and pretty much what I expected. Given the current situation I decided on room service. The service was good and the food was very good. I have pretty much decided that this will be my goto hotel when I visit Exeter.
United KingdomBeing by a main road is not great and the rooms could be noisy as they were one of the three nights - having said that it was spotlessly clean and the staff could not have been more helpful. The air conditioning worked well and was very quiet so did not disturb a good nights sleep. Would be happy to rebook.
United KingdomIt was basic but clean. Rooms quite small but very clean. For the price for 3 nights was very reasonable. Carriages Brasserie very handy to have attached to the hotel. Would definitely stay again. Good for a short stay
United KingdomBreakfast was very good. The HD tv and inclusion of all Sky Sports channels was a great addition. Good base to explore Exeter.
United KingdomVery comfortable room. The on-site restaurant is outstanding. The staff is friendly and helpful. Nearby bus connections make it easy to access downtown if you are traveling without a car.
United States of AmericaGreat aircon in the room, which Was needed as was a really hot weekend. Room was a little small, as was the bathroom, but certainly adequate and comfortable enough
United KingdomVery good hotel. Food was excellent. Staff in restaurant were exceptional- friendly, polite, attentive. Very comfortable room, bed and room was light and well furnished.
United KingdomLocation - staff - value for money - breakfast - spotlessly clean - Sky TV - comfortable bed leading to good nights sleep
United KingdomSky TV channels were a bonus. Nice big bath. Lovely staff
United KingdomThe executive room was worth the extra for the rainforest shower. Parking near the room was very convenient. The Carvery was excellent
