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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Apr 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful location, impressive interior decoration, immaculately clean.

Staff were very helpful but not intrusive, everything was very clear to understand. Will definitely go back. ##### Georgia Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LISA Mar 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing decor & customer service ! The rooms and bar / lounge area were very welcoming and clean, with an amazing outdoor covered area. The room had a lovely decor with a well stocked mini bar and good quality linen. The customer service from Lucie was excellent and she was very helpful and knowledgable. Will definitely be staying here again. ##### LISA Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Road works outside the property which started up early outside our window! Sii II per comfy bed and lovely shower ! ##### Kate Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cute & Cosy Lovely room, super comfy bed with quality amenities & furnishing. As a solo traveller I was a bit uncertain about no night staff/security but I felt safe & secure in the end. Would stay again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul Dec 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely boutique hotel - room beautiful and loved the little touches - glass of port etc. Above a pub so clearly noise until closing time ##### paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Ok for a night Nice, we booked a deluxe room. Bathroom was very small, and accessed by three steep stairs; it was almost in a ‘cubby’ hole in the room. Ok though for a one- night stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lin Apr 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities X ##### Lin Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joe Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort The decor is very well done and I found the bed to be extremely comfortable. The bathroom is very spacious and well presented. The only negative points I have about the room 5 is the seal round the shower screen is leaking. Meaning water pours onto the floor and has lead to mould and a damp smell in the corner of the room. ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sophie Aug 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Modern, nicely decorated, clean, good location, just wish the staff were a bit more attentive. The reception was full of laundry on arrival, nobody was really allocated for the accommodation to check in. I found the bar area was used more of an office, laptops everywhere and laptop wires sprawled all over the tables. Honestly can’t fault the room. I think the staff let this place down. ##### Sophie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicholas Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Exeter never again Receptionist was poor on check in. Beer and food was overpriced. Room was clean and nice but an early wake up by a brewery delivery truck right outside the bedroom was unexpected and not a place myself or my wife would recommend to anyone. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Teymuraz Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Ok overall for a pretty short stay. Probably not optimal to stay there with children but it’s ok overall. Friendly staff. Fixing little things in the bathroom would be nice. ##### Teymuraz Stayed 2 nights in Oct 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.

Good food served, and attentive staff. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information)
