    Bed mattress was lump, lack of day light in the room, design of features would benefit from improvement to modernise eg usb wall charger, moderns medicine cabinet in bathroom etc WiFi was weak and 4G signal was poor (for phone; which was needed because WiFi network was flagged with security/certificate trust issues) if they had advised to take LAN cable could have used that with laptop

    Location, parking, access were superb. Self contained and suitable for purpose at reasonable price.

    Found as pensioners the shower / toilet area was a bit awkward ( ok for a short stay). Found the location was ok if driving but we intended to use taxis but found it difficult to get to get to pick ups at the top of the hill, so we drove to St David’s railway station parked up there to use public transport/ taxis

    We found the room clean and tidy , the towels were good quality, the bed was in good condition ( little small when use to a king size). The restaurant was very clean and well laid out and the breakfast very good , staff pleasant and helpful.

    It was a long walk to get to Exeter centre, and it is high up, so a long climb back at the end of the day. The bedroom was basic, nothing special.

    There was a rude receptionist when we checked out. I was travelling from the North by public transport with rather heavy luggage and backpack and had to get it up and down the steep hill which was a challenge! If you are like this, I would recommend getting a taxi.

    Brilliant! Beautiful view! Would stay again.

    We would have preferred a room with a view, I'm sure they would do this if we had asked - next time! Bed quite narrow for a double and mattress was a little thin.

    The campus was nice, we used the outdoor pool. Breakfast was good - lots of it. Easy parking. Great to have a common room with table tennis. Easy walk to city centre.

    Room ventilation not great as door to julieete balcony was restricted. A long wait for breakfast as the kitchen seemed unable to cope with the influx of customers.

    Views from the dining room were stunning. Room was basic but functional (it was a student hall of residence) and did as expected.

    The seagulls make a lot of noise, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to pack earplugs. It is also helpful to pack a sleeping mask for people who are sensitive to light and have a room with a window facing the courtyard.

    The location is great if you need to visit the university often and the city centre was a 20 min walk away. At breakfast, everyone finds something. There was coffee, tea and hot chocolate and to eat cornflakes, toast, jam, Nutella, fruit, yoghurt, beans, sausages (also vegan), scrambled and fried eggs and small chocolate rolls and mini croissants.

    Hot room (though that wasn't their fault as the weather was inclemently warm). Lack of access to a student kitchen (but I managed nevertheless). I couldn't work out how to use the safe in the cupboard, but didn't really need it. The man at reception said I could use a microwave in a cupboard marked 'Staff only' but I couldn't find the cupboard. I would have stayed another night but the booking website wouldn't let me.

    Breakfast was well above average. The room had a fridge, which was a bonus. Room was clean, and I especially liked the wetroom shower. Obviously it had a great view, and staff members were very friendly.

    ensuite bathroom is a wet room, less than ideal. Having seen as a university accommodation, it’s a little basic, but the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was subpar. The quality low, e.g. the cheapest bread for toast, the orange “juice” is not juice and tastes disgusting. Having tried the juice first, and reviewed everything on offer, I left without breakfast.

    Efficient and friendly staff, parking is close and easy, beautiful views from the window, lovely large terrace outside with tables and chairs. All in all very easy, with a smooth, checking in and checking out process.
