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.

    Exeter is a lovely place , however, if driiving it is a nightmare lots of one way streets nowhere to stop if lost , almost no on street parking (unless a payment machine is there ) this is especially frustrating if visiting the royal hospital as the car park cannot cope , and all the surrounding roads are double yellow lines , many people driving around in circles missing appointments and getting angry.

    Exeter quay is vibrant, attractive and a lovely area to visit. We walked along the canal whilst others paddled to a lovely pub called double locks. Lunch was excellent at the pub. Evening at local gin distillery- quayside gins which again was excellent. Only stayed one night but would highly recommend.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city. Lots of interesting places, especially round the Quay area, and many classy shops and cafes. Its also within easy reach of Topsham, which is very quaint, and had lovely cafes and bars. The Firehouse is an excellent trendy eating place there. We just walked into Exeter, but it has plenty of parking places. We also visited Dawlish, another quaint town, with a great pie shop. Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton are also interesting. Our grandchildren loved the picturesque golf course at Exminster, and nearby Turf pub, which you can drive or cycle to, which is open only during the day, as parking is difficult, but its friendly, and serves good food. The Mill on the Exe is next to the property, and serves good food and has comfortable seating, and friendly staff. Also The Prospect Inn on the Quay has great food, and a buzz about it. There are several real ale places on the Quay in Exeter, and pizza vans nearby.

    Exeter is a medieval city with Roman remains, and although bombed during WWII it retains many unusual features. Like all uk provincial cities the economic climate has hit hard, however there is still lots to enjoy. Foodies will love STAGE a new restaurant in Magdalen Rd which is exceptional and I predict it will be incredibly successful. Exeter cathedral is wonderful.There’s also the beautiful river Exe that opens out to the Estuary town of Topsham, well worth a visit, the quay area in Exeter is interesting with many historical features. Exploring the area on foot and enjoying foodie venues off the beaten track is the secret to a fun visit.

    WE booked for three, so we were given two bedrooms. Both rooms had a wonderful view of the city laid out over the hill. There was plenty of tea/coffee options in the room. The location of The Telstar is great, just a short walk from Exeter St David's and the city centre. It was also within walking distance of the University where we were headed. We opted for the breakfast which was wholesome and delicious! I quite liked their green initiatives. I would say our stay was cosier than if we had stayed at a hotel.

    Apartment has everything you need for a stay in Exeter. It's was warm, roomy, great balcony with views and right in centre of town. Plenty bars, eateries, take away, convenience stores withing sight of front door. Process of arrival very well explained, easy to understand, with local info, tips aplenty. My stay was a bit rushed so didn't have time to take full advantage of lounging around. Would happily use again.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful. The pastries at breakfast were delicious. The hotel is in a great location for walking to the city centre. Exeter is quite hilly but it’s all on the flat from the hotel to the shops, cathedral, and museum/art gallery. Although the hotel doesn’t have its own parking, there is a reasonably priced car park in the square in front of the hotel.

    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.

    Excellent city centre location. Rooms was well equipped - with nice touches. Very comfortable bed and super clean room. It is s above a pub and on the main thoroughfare in Exeter so some noise from the street to be expected. Value for money for city centre room was excellent. We used a local overnight city centre car park which was safe and reasonably priced.

    Location can’t be beat. City centre directly across from Central Station and bus links, yet quiet rooms—can’t hear any traffic or noise. Walking distance to everything: bars, restaurants, shops. Building itself has quite a bit of history and looks lovely from outside. Bed was comfortable and bath was worth the extra little bit of money.

    There's much to like about St. Andrews Hotel starting with the FREE parking and the proximity to Exeter City Centre with it only taking just over 15 minutes to walk in. The hotel itself is very untypical of an independent city hotel in that it is clearly well maintained and in no way looks tired as many do nowadays.

    The location of this Pub Inn is really good, close to the town centre and sights. About a 25 minute walk from St David's station or a 10 minute taxi ride. Both the hotel and bar staff are super friendly and helpful. I was a little concerned as I hadn't stayed in a Pub Inn before but it was great value for money.
