    Liked everything. Central location excellent. Loved quirky nature of hotel and set right within the heart of city. Might be noisy at weekends bit perfect for a Monday evening.

    Tight, narrow and steep stairs to our room on the top floor.

    The room, the coffee machine, the bathroom, cleanliness, staff and the very central location. The noise was really unnoticeable, especially considering we were right in the centre.of the city above a busy bar. The room was really comfortable and spacious

    I couldn't figure out how to use the coffee machine in my room. There were instructions in the information pack, however the writing was very small and I'm not at all patient until after I've my coffee. I had tea instead, which was fine.

    The hotel/pub staff were friendly, welcoming and happy to chat. The room was larger than I'd expected. It was cosy and comfortable.

    The only thing I could say is that we asked for a spare throw and some more milk but didn’t get any, but we didn’t need it in the end and if we’d asked again I’m sure they would of sorted it for us. It can be a little loud too at night but the ear plugs provided resolved that issue.

    We absolutely loved how the room was decorated, super quirky, spacious and comfortable. Bed and bedding was lovely, tea and coffee was all high quality and the bathroom and soaps were all gorgeous too. The pub downstairs was quirky and full of history and the staff were really friendly. The location was perfect too.

    Our rooms (we had two) were up 3 & 4 flights of stairs, which is not unexpected but quite the challenge with luggage. Earplugs were provided due to an abundance of noise-our evening it was provided by yelling humans until far into the night - the kind of thing that cannot be controlled by the management.

    Great location 3 blocks from Exeter Central train station, and easy walk to many meal and visitor options. Great staff in Pub with excellent cask and keg options. Room had everything you might need, with Nespresso large pod coffee maker, and water kettle. All updated and many charging options in room. The pub held onto our bags while we explored the cathedral and phoned for our taxi as we left - so helpful.

    The property only accepts card payments. This was a problem. I appreciate it will be no issue to most guests tho.

    This is a hidden Gem. Fabulous well presented rooms and the staff are excellent. I can highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

    The desk was extremely sticky and the metal coating would come off on whatever I set on it. Maybe put a new desk in there or cover the top with something so it can be used? The bed was extremely squeaky and uncomfortable. Could use an update!

    Location was amazing, staff were very friendly, everything was clean

    Friday night was very noisy in HighStreet and a woman’s voice below my room 6 spoke in a loud voice till gone 3a.m. Also when I asked in the Bar about leaving my rucksack post my departure- wanting to spend time by Cathedral till my train left - it was a curt NO!!

    Central situation

    The only potential downside would be noise. But it's above a city centre pub, so a bit of late night noise should be expected. The Turk's Head, in fact, embraces its pubiness and even supplies ear defenders and masks.

    Great value and excellent rooms, very well equipped with everything you'd need.

    If I was being picky, I felt the bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner around the edges, but it certainly didn't ruin our stay!

    Great value, comfortable cosy room (not in a small way - surprised at the size of it!) with a Nespresso coffee machine and decent teas plus bottled water. Lovely Rituals toiletries, really comfortable bed, fab shower and a brilliant hairdryer. Also an iron and ironing board too. We liked that the rooms had a separate external entrance to the pub so we could come and go as we wanted. Staff helpful and friendly. Could not beat its position in the centre of Exeter. Our son has just moved down but no room to stay at his place so this will be our go-to stopover when we visit!

    A bit noisy but they did make that clear. It didn't really cause a problem. The shower did spray over the bathroom!

    Lovely old building right in the city centre. Attached to a pub with microbrewery. The room was clean and comfortable. Nice to have a coffee machine. Cleaned every day.

    Comfortable, peaceful, great location. Shower fabulous. Big room, lots of space.
