4th time we’ve stayed, so convenient for the beach,restaurants and shopping…friendly staff and clean rooms,some areas could do with a little tweaking, but overall a great place to stay

Very convenient for beach, shops and gardens. Gates on the car park, our room was fairly quiet and nice, although a bit dated, shower wasn’t very good. Breakfast was cooked as required and it was lovely 😊 Staff were very helpful. We would stay there again 😁

Great hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Our room was very spacious as we upgraded to a four poster bedroom (room 120), but what we gained with having a great room we lost out on the view out of the bedroom window (limited to just a view of a flat roof). Would definitely go back to this hotel 👍

This was perfect for our needs, a Thursday night in Cardiff. Would definitely stay here again. Fantastic rooms, comfortable beds. Only after booking was I made aware that this hotel can be very noisy at the weekends - worth consider considering if you will be there on a Friday or Saturday night. It was wonderfully quiet on a Thursday night!

Great hotel. Have been coming for years for an annual birthday night out with a group of friends. Guy at reception was very friendly, especially as we were concerned we may not be able to park there as no space, but did manage to in the end. Hotel is great...not the most modern, no, but homely and rooms have always been spacious, clean and welcoming. The bar/club is great for a night out. Would definitely recommend. Very close to town centre and beach too. Well done Royal Exeter!

The property is very conveniently located. It is in a historic building – built in 1812 – but I don’t think of the property has been maintained since then! Damp patches all over the ceilings, electrical sockets hanging out of the wall, the bathroom door had a hole completely through it. There are very lively clubs beneath it, which are quite noisy, but we knew this and were okay with it. It is really the condition of the bedrooms that let the place down.

The staff were amazing, very friendly with great service. The only downside was the dreadful noise from the onsite nightclub that went on until 4am so didn't get much sleep on the Saturday. Much better on the Sunday when the club wasn't open.
