    Helen at breakfast continues to excel at her job. She always goes the extra mile to meet and greet and make you feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble and she clearly loves her role. Room upgrade again was a nice touch. Thank you Hotel du Vin!

    The parking arrangements weren't totally clear so a bit confusing on arrival but fine in the end! Just remember to reserve ahead.

    We were kindly upgraded to a bigger room, which was spacious and very comfortable. Great breakfast and loved the pool!

    Had to pay at local car park as no availability at the hotel. ... albeit the local car park was right on your doorstep.

    Having dinner and drinks each evening at the hotel. The staff at the restaurant and bar were great. The food was lovely.

    Lots of slamming doors during the night/early morning. No bar staff around when we wanted a beer! Hand held shower over bath had been permanently disconnected.

    The pool was lovely, warm and relaxing.

    Breakfast and parking are WAY too expensive. We chose a cold breakfast £18 and the staff put it through as a hot breakfast £22. There was blood on the duvet sheet. Also the shower wasn't hot enough

    The atmosphere, the furnishings, the service from staff, the pool. We got a free upgrade on our room which was lovely

    Bank Holiday weekend stay

    • Junior Suite
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    Junior suite was disappointing, nothing about the room which really made it feel luxurious as a suite. Bed not very comfortable. The shower was tempramental and stuck on scalding hot until a member of staff fiddled with it. Apparantly facilities are aware but haven't fixed it yet. The dinner menu was also a little underwhelming and most things had a (sometimes significant) supplemental cost for the dinner bed and breakfast package. The bare minimum is given as part of the deal.

    The pool area was very smart and clean, lovely warm pool. Staff were friendly and helpful, particularly at breakfast where the food and selection was also very good. Location for visiting Exeter is excellent and parking is very nearby (if you don't manage to get one of the hotel's spaces).

    Our hotel room was incredibly hot, even with the cool fan on. We couldn’t get away from the heat, and no fresh air as windows were sealed shut. Breakfast I thought was over priced for what it was, but very tasty nonetheless.

    The pool was brilliant and the building was beautifully decorated inside, the restaurant is very well presented and staff were attentive.

    The pool could be a little warmer, I also forgot to bring moisturiser and there wasn’t any there but honestly these are such minimal things in comparison to how amazing the hotel is

    Gorgeous hotel, rooms were gorgeous staff were super helpful it was a lovely stay felt like a luxury stay in companions to the other available options at a higher cost

    The prices at the restaurant were too high. Since you are in the city centre there are a lot of alternatives around - you should consider lowering prices to attract more clientele for restaurant

    Well it was expensive, £177 for two people in the junior suite plus £22 each for breakfast and £20 (if you book) to park. Magdalene Street car park is next door which would have been cheaper for parking. But we saw it as a bit of luxury having had a bad few weeks and it felt like a real treat.

    Lovely classy hotel, everything you'd expect from a good quality chain hotel, nice decor, decent bed and duvet, spacious, quiet (junior suite) room and polite helpful staff.
