Exeter Spa Hotels

Absolutely amazing hotel! We were so surprised on how much we enjoyed our stay here, seeing as the hotel was so affordable! Staff were lovely and always smiling. Check-in was super quick and easy and the 24 hour reception even had a little shop to buy food and drinks from! There was room service available and a bar/restaurant downstairs. We did not dine in the hotel so can’t comment on the food. We will 100% book here again if we’re back in Exeter!

Fantastic stay all along! There was a power cut while on our second night stay and ohhh man people are vile, the staff did everything they could to maintain a positive vibe, but everyone was going at them. My heart went out to them and I wanna thank to both of them for maintaining their cool even though the situation was undesirable. Service was 100% everyone being super helpful and kind even though you could see how stretched they were. Breakfast was delicious as well as dinner, we did the meal deal, so worth the price. Keep up the good work everyone!

I reviewed this hotel in December 2011, you can find it in the history. First things first. I am not a nit picking whinge screaming for the manager at the slightest issue. Far from it. But it really pains me to write this due to my stay. I work abroad now and a colleague and me were needed to be in Exeter and from 11 years ago thought of this hotel as ideal. How wrong can I have been and how deteriorated this place has become. Checkin ＞ Ok but staff obviously frustrated about the running around children and the noise, they were clearly embarrassed. 2 were kicking a football around the reception. Some mothers nearby didn't seem to even care. Room ＞ not at all good, worn out carpet, windows didn't open but for about 3 centimetres so it was very warm. Of course the AC was not working and i was told it was being looked into. Also no hangers in the cupboards at all took an hour after asking for some to arrive. Reception / Bar ＞ very odd indeed, 2 same dressed gentlemen always looked you up and down when walking through. You are also on video, they kept talking on their walkitalki devices when they weren't smoking outside!!!!! Look at my pictures, whats going on in this place? Public area / corridors ＞ not nice. Food and glasses left outside rooms 24 hours, some rooms seem to have a drum and bass convention going on. Oh and the smell of those vape things was awful. Maybe thats why we had to evacuate at 0100 in the morning with a fire alarm. I heard the fire guys discussion on it being from someone vaping. Security ＞ For who? OK there was the 2 strange videoing guys in the bar area, but my keycard stopped working 4 times in 7 days. You just go the reception and they say ”ah yes it happens, whats the room number” THAT IS ALL! I had a written note in my room one evening saying sorry to come in to the room but I left my HDMI connector in the room! Parking ＞ now its ridiculously expensive on what used to be included. Utter rip off. Its a ANPR system so beware. What i couldn't understand was that looking out of my widow there were 2 or 3 cars sometimes at night with people sleeping overnight in them. I checked the status on gov. website all no MOT or tax. Whats going on here? Overall a massive disappointment from 11 years ago and feel very sorry for the staff, they know whats going here and it shows in their manner Check out ＞ at last! But then i find 50 pounds of ”laundry” on my room, I asked to be removed. One night was over 200 pounds ”oh its just due to the system” Yeh right. Conclusion ＞ you are being taken for a ride here and I will take this with Accor the parent company. A shabby dirty hotel with a company with 2.2 billion in revenue and 10.7 billion in assets. An utter disgrace. I am requesting a massive / total refund. Thanks again to the staff, its obvious you are trying to make the best of an awful situation. Avoid. Sorry

Being used to the likes of other budget hotel chains when on business trips I was looking forward to my stay however feel let down given the prestigious reputation of the Mercure brand. The hotel building itself is beautiful and the room was modern in decor, however unfortunately the building fabric had not been modernised leading to an uncomfortable night. The room was very warm with a single window that only opened slightly and no air conditioning/fan provided. Even on a cold September night the room was uncomfortably warm into the early hours. My room was positioned opposite what seemed to be the kitchen/some sort of generator/heater which kicked in at 6am in the morning waking me up as the window had to remain open to keep the room cool. The range of breakfast was good (cooked breakfast, pastries, cereals, continental), but sadly the quality was quite poor. Despite being the first person at 8am on a Sunday the food was cold overall and the sausages and bacon were very tough and leathery. The staff on every interaction were helpful and polite, especially the receptionist when checking in. Overall a disappointing stay and sadly not the first poor experience at an Accor hotel.

Because I went to school here seven years ago, this is the hotel closest to the train station. I came out and it didn’t take two minutes to walk. This time I came back for honeymoon. Because it’s close to the station, it’s convenient to go anywhere. The rooms are normal and soundproofed. The breakfast is too good. My daughter-in-law likes coffee. Costa’s special breakfast is better than holiday inn, but the room is not as good as the holiday inn in London. Next time I come to Ai Village, I will stay here again. Recommend BTW The second one is the Chinese restaurant we used to eat. The third one next is my student dormitory, not far from the hotel, and finally put a photo of my alma mater to miss cu next time.

This was my first visit here after being recommended by work colleagues. The hotel has a strange set out with rooms in different blocks, more like a motel. Unfortunately my room(room 3) had a lot of noise from the adjoining rooms which kept me awake during the night. The food in the restaurant was excellent, no complaints with friendly staff behind the bar. Plenty of parking which seemed secure. Good location right beside the bypass on the way down to Cornwall.

I was very impressed by this hotel. It has a good location if you travel by car or rail. Even though it overlooks a major road intersection there was no noise in the bedroom. The bed room was quite large and the air conditioning was very effective and quiet. The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. It was very clean throughout. The dining area is quite small and there were warnings of some delays in getting a table. I didn’t have any problem when I staid the night after August Bank Holiday.
