The staircase is very steep and narrow, and there’s no elevator. No staff are available after midnight, and no one offered to help with luggage. On the positive side, the shower was okay, and I really enjoyed the Nespresso capsule coffee in the room. ##### MAHMUD Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mrs Vicky May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hotel in great location, breakfast was good and staff were excellent. Room was a little tired. ##### Mrs Vicky Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlotte Oct 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service The room was small even though we paid extra for deluxe. I wouldn’t call the deluxe the standard they portrayed in photos. Shower was really poor. Too hot or Too cold and no pressure. Room had a bad odour location good but no parking . ##### Charlotte Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan Sep 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great little hotel. The opposite of what you'd get at a soulless chain hotel, full of nooks and crannies, old world charm, quirky but comfortable too. We loved the bedroom too, so comfortable. It's just a stones throw from the centre of Exeter, the cathedral and quayside area as well as the catacombs etc. Excellent food too at City Gate and lots of great restaurants to try out nearby too. Pretty much no downsides. Parking was an issue. Breakfast was gorgeous if a little pricey. Otherwise I couldn't recommend City Gate enough.

Very helpful and charming staff who sorted out a pricing discrepancy with Expedia for me. Very comfortable huge bed, good linen and well equipped room and bathroom. Looking just a little tired around the edges now in all honesty but still recommend. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine Jun 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoyed our stay. Bedroom good with lots of little extras available. However could do with some additional hand rails to help anyone walking with a stick (eg hand rails are not on all staircases).Very creaky floor, had our fingers crossed all was secure. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely room and friendly staff ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Perfect location for shopping and the hotel served an amazing roast dinner. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Good service in a very nicely renovated hotel.

The position of the hotel is perfect for a visit to Exeter. It is just a short walk from the main centre. The personnel who work at the hotel were helpful and friendly. The room was clean and we had super thick towels. However, the hotel is in need of attention. The paintwork needs painting and the carpets in the corridors need an upgrade; the taps in our room were twisted as they moved from the base; the sash windows do not work and we needed a small log to keep them open. In addition, the TV was not reliable although the manageress tried to assist with it. We ate breakfast there one morning. There was a range of choices although combining them was pricey. We found a better value breakfast close to the cathedral. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Joyce Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice little place.
