Royal Exeter Hotel

The staff were polite.

The room was dated, smelt musty, appeared clean but had no air circulation or ventilation and despite a fan was a constant 31 degrees for 2 days causing me to suffer heat stroke and go to hospital. I therefore had to check out 2 days early and go somewhere else. There was no water and no eating facilities in the hotel.

The shower was excellent.Simple to use with plenty of shampoo and cleaning gel.

The new checking in procedure.Why complicate service with barcodes smartphones etc?.Prior to this checking in was perfectly easy.

Not told that the restaurant wasn’t operating for evening meals.. Also not told the nightclub would be open until 2 o’clock midweek.

Room surprisingly comfy, even if generally basic, it had everything I needed.

Signage into carpark was so confusing with logos but not the hotel name,- just coming off the roundabout- that we missed it and had to go round before entering

Excellent location with onsite parking although this was extra. Shower was powerful and luckily cold.

Bar and dining closed, room had no ventilation, small fan which was unusable. Very tired/dated room. Small sash window literally falling apart.

Its close to the beach

Very old, mold in the bathroom, a window that doesn’t close properly, and a lot of noise from the bar. It urgently needs renovating. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Comfortable

We had booked breakfast but it wasn't available. Our room was directly above the noisy venue. Areas of the hotel were more quiet and there were rooms available on booking.com but the person on the desk said she was unable to anything about seeing other rooms. There were no onlther staff in the hotel.
