The Devon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel particularly for people with a car. Convenient car access and plentiful parking. Area is near a motorway and with an open window there was some minor car noise but otherwise quiet. The area is not walkable and there are no nearby shops or restaurants. On the other hand, the attached restaurant was excellent both for breakfast and supper. Staff was extremely helpful. Never used the gym so cannot comment there. Good wifi and plentiful hot water."

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel within walking distance of Exeter centre. Parked there on arrival after checking with member of staff if that was ok. Bedroom looked like recently refurbished, bed was very comfortable. We had a room at the back so nice and quiet as hotel on quite a busy road. Work was being done on the hotel but didn’t hear any noise from it on the Friday afternoon when we checked in. Bathroom could have done with a little extra cleaning re mould on grout but didn’t affect us. Good shower with plenty hot water. Large towels though one was a tad shabby if I really need to pick a fault, still worked ok. Tea, coffee, milk and a couple of biscuits supplied. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. Excellent full English breakfast in the morning with very attentive member of staff on hand. Asked if I could have juice which was on the continental menu and noticed he then offered juice to other visitors who ordered from the main menu. Excellent service. Would have no issue staying there again, would probably ask for the same room. All in all a very good hotel at an excellent price"
