Premier Inn Exeter City Centre
8.6 (56 reviews)

Premier Inn Exeter City Centre ★★★

📍 2 Southernhay Gardens, Exeter

"Every member of staff was fantastic. Good location for the Quay and city centre. Comfortable area to have a drink from a well stocked bar, including draft beers. As expected in all Premier Inns air co is noisy so has to be switched off at night and WiFi is abysmal. Come on guys it's 2026."

Hotel du Vin Exeter
8.5 (109 reviews)

Hotel du Vin Exeter ★★★★

📍 Magdalen St, Exeter

"The room was spacious with a beautiful view from the window! The service was excellent, and it was very close to the St. Luke's campus! The environment was clean and hygienic, with a bathroom and toilet! The space was very large!!"

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

📍 Tudor St, Exeter

"The room was spacious and had air conditioning, and the cleanliness was good! The location is excellent, about a 15-minute walk to the city center! The hotel also included breakfast, and while it wasn't a huge spread, the taste was still quite good."

Leonardo Hotel Exeter
9.2 (159 reviews)

Leonardo Hotel Exeter ★★★★

📍 Western Wy, Exeter

"What a perfect find. Great location and the loveliest of staff. So friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back when visiting my son at uni"

Hotel Indigo EXETER by IHG
9.1 (65 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."

Mill on the Exe
9.1 (77 reviews)

Mill on the Exe ★★★★

📍 Bonhay Rd, Exeter

"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
8.0 (52 reviews)

Premier Inn Exeter Central St Davids ★★★

📍 Bonhay Rd, Exeter

"Great location,straight out of the station and it's in front of you and that's it I'm afraid. THE worst premier inn we've stayed in,requested a quiet room so we put in a room facing the station and main road and carpark. Moved to a room at the back of the hotel,it smelt so strongly of carpet cleaner or air freshener I was nearly sick. Huge Wetherspoons 100 yards away from back rooms,noise,noise and more noise and the filth the students leave all around the hotel is disgusting!! Went to the bar for a drink,none of the beers were available as there was a problem in the cellar but the expensive bottles were. Greeting by a gum chewing girl who didn't even look up when we checked in. Breakfast ok but Luke warm,dining room staff older and more professional. 3 nights we paid for and had so little rest.Whitbread in trouble,I wonder why. We won't be returning,it was just awful we booked a so called Premium room too!!"

Southernhay House Hotel Hotels in Exeter

Southernhay House Hotel

"In a class by itself in poor Exeter, this small hotel exceeds on a number of counts. Personal attention from a local staff and on-site owner, beautiful curated rooms, outstanding breakfasts, perfect location for walkers (taxi from train station), private garden- quiet and green. It’s an historic home, 1805, of an East Indian company captain, with fabulous eclectic collection of paintings. The man, William Kirkpatrick, is highlighted in hotel literature, but full appreciation of his singular life requires reading the biography chapter of William Dalrymple’s White Mughals ( itself a revelation and delight). If life brings you to Devon, simply sleep here. Rooms require stair climbing."

The Globe Hotels in Exeter

"The location and friendly,helpful staff were excellent.The food quality was as good as the most expensive restaurants we have dined at. The price of the food was less than charged by many other restaurants. Well done The Globe,we will return."

The Ley Arms Hotels in Exeter

The Ley Arms

"5* This was an amazing accommodation. The pub/restaurant is amazing with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The decor is tasteful and cosy. With helpful and friendly staff. The food was lovely if a little on the cool side, it just needed to be bought out quicker. In saying that my party didn’t find this to be the case. The menu is extensive and the quality of the food was excellent The rooms are stunning. I have stayed in 5* accommodation but this is up there with the best. The web site does not do there rooms justice as they do not capture the full ambience of the room. It was a genuine pleasure to stay there. We will return x"

Premier Inn Exeter City Centre ★★★
"Nice hotel with good size clean rooms. The air-con worked very well. Staff were very nice. We can't comment on the food as we didn't eat at the hotel. Our only negative was the lack of parking for disabled drivers despite having 2 designated parking bays, apparently guests aren't allowed to use them!! There is a public car park about a 10 minute walk away, but be aware that the walk back to the hotel in on an incline, so a bit tricky if you have mobility issues. We managed to find a space on a parking meter in the end, a few minutes walk away."

Holiday Inn Express EXETER EAST by IHG ★★★
"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."
