Top Royal Albert Museum and Art Gallery Hotel Reviews

Queens Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and we will stay again. Breakfast was excellent x"

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location between the city centre and the quayside, ideal car parking, great room, really nice bar and restaurant, will definitely stay here again when we go back to Exeter"

St Andrews Hotel

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"

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Great service from the front desk, restaurant, maintenance team and bar staff."

Holiday Inn Express Exeter - City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was Spotless. The bed waa comfortable- pillows a bit solid for me. Bathroom good but after showering the walk in shower water covered the floor making use of basin and toilet a bit hazardous. Breakfast was good and food regularly replenished."

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and the offer of a free drink in the bar in exchange for no housekeeping is clever. Such a good idea. Unfortunately the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night dominated all the communal areas of the hotel which meant that we couldn’t have the nightcap in the bar we were hoping for, as well as there being the thumping of the music from the wedding in our room until well after 11pm. Had we known yet the bar area would be pretty much out of action to other guests we might have chosen to stay elsewhere."

The City Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. lovely beer garden lovely bar lovely property really nice rooms"

Townhouse Exeter

8/10 Good

"Central location, bright and welcoming room. The breakfast was especially good, and everyone we met was very friendly. My only minor negative point was the size of the "double" bed, which, while very comfortable, was a little on the small side."

Southernhay House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We got the largest room they had. It was literally an apartment across the street on the basement level. Right outside the bedroom was a walkway/pedestrian route and people walked by all day and all night. Definitely wouldn't recommend that room even though it was extremely spacious. The people working the hotel were friendly."
