A great location for city centre Exeter but Carly on the reception team was absolutely fabulous! Went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. The only thing I’d recommend is to stock on some dental kits etc, as I’ve forgotten my toothbrush and sadly they’ve ran out of all dental kits when I was staying!

The staff here are absolutely faultless! 5 star service, from check in to check out, bar staff, catering staff and the staff looking after our conference all superb, cleaning staff also were amazing. For a 4 star hotel the rooms are a basic 3 star, no biscuits, no individual toiletries, small beds and rooms. The food is very overpriced in the restaurant too, £8 for 6 little Haloumi fries is extortion for example. The complimentary lemon infused water and hot chocolate are very nice touches May I add. Breakfast was good, plentiful and fresh. Parking is easy. Location is great. Shame about the rooms but time and again where I travel nationwide I see so called 4 star hotels not living up to the smaller independent 3 stars. Well done staff and Merry Christmas!

Really nice hotel in Exeter city centre. It's a great location and handy. The place has good-sized rooms, which are clean and tidy. The bar and restaurant are both top-notch. The food was really nice. My biggest issue is that there isn't any free parking at the hotel.

We stayed here when our original hotel had been out of action due to snow and a power cut! Our room was comfortable and staff were very friendly welcoming, particularly Karen who was manning the bar single handedly due to staff shortages. She remained friendly, efficient and professional under pressure. Luckily Roy helped out later! Cosy and comfortable with good wine and delicious burgers. Thanks Karen

The mattress needs a proper steam clean. I woke up half way through the night because of the very slight smell of urine (after the AC was off).

The aircon randomly switched off overnight. As before the breakfast selection was rubbish: no apple juice, only a few pastries left (this was an hour before breakfast closing time), staff reluctant to bake any more. No mushrooms - some were fried for me, but why should I have to ask? The 'scrambled egg' looked like runny wall paper paste, and clearly was made from dried ingredients in a packet. The fried eggs were pale and tasteless. So in future, Brodies for breakfast!!

We were very satisfied. At that time the hotel was probably still called Jurys Inn

Clean room, close to central Exeter. Only stayed for one night but no problems at all.

Me and two of my colleagues were the first to arrive to the buffet on day 2 of a course. By the time the educators made it to the buffet there was barely any food left ( same as day 1 by the way!). To my surprise, The catering lady points her finger at us saying that we filled our plates ! ( we did not take more than anyone took !! ) The course coordinator later came and apologised for this which I really appreciate. I wanted to highlight this as it was very insulting and inappropriate to assume that the food was finished because of us ! This encounter ruined the day and I will never set a foot inside this hotel ever again.

I was amazed to find a well located hotel, reasonably priced with great food and drink, and really busy in Exeter. A nice surprise indeed for just a stop to recharge energies. I am pleased I decided to book there.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Leonardo. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Shift manager, Karen is a real asset to your team. Good beer on tap in the bar too! Highly recommended if you're staying in Exeter!

Worst hotel in Exeter, by far. Stay at your own risk.

Certainly a lot for them to improve. The reception could be more welcome. When I walk into the room, the bed is not in the right place so I have to push it back and pillows are at the end of the bed: so the room is half-ready.

They were lovely sized rooms, and they were very clean. Beds are very comfortable and lovely clean white bedding. Staff were very helpful and very friendly and helpful. Ideal location to city centre . And a great bonus is that once the windows are closed, there is almost no noise coming through from the traffic

Really nice, clean hotel which is close to Exeter centre. The rooms are cosy and there is a decent buffet breakfast. The staff are really friendly especially Karen and Finn on the bar, they couldn’t do more for us. ⭐️

The place looked nice from the outside, so we decided to give it a try. But as soon as we walked in, it was like we were invisible to the staff. After finally grabbing a table and picking out what we wanted to eat, we tried to order at 11:57, only to be told that the lunch menu didn't start until 12. Fair enough, but why couldn't they just take our order and hold off on making it until 12? The staff were a bit of a mess - talking loudly, swearing, and sitting on the counter. And their personal conversations... I really didn't need to hear all the gossip on who’s sleeping with who, while trying to enjoy my lunch. To top it off, one of them had Snapchat notifications going off non-stop, which was beyond annoying. On the bright side, the food was actually pretty good. But the service was so off-putting that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone or bother going back myself. A shame because it’s a lovely location and interior nice.

I stayed at Hotel du Vin, Exeter for 4 nights in July 2023. Generally very good service. Parking is very tight at this establishment so parking spaces must be booked and paid for in advance of your stay at £15 per night. When I arrived, there was a sign with my name on it so I parked there and didn't use the car for the rest of my stay. Reception were very helpful on arrival and answered any questions I had. I had a Cosy Room at the back of the hotel which I was disappointed about as it was very small and cramped and you could still hear the traffic noise from round the corner. Breakfast in the Bistro was great. Very helpful staff. Lots of choice from the Country Table and Hot Breakfast choices. All staff were welcoming and knowledgeable regarding the menu, but at £19.95 per head this was not worth it but I had the free breakfast every day as part of my booking. The indoor/outdoor swimming pool was great. The indoor part had water jets, so a bit like a jacuzzi then the outdoor part, through the wall, was deep enough to swim in. This area also had a nice changing room with showers and lockers. BUT my real gripe was the cleaning of the rooms. I am a cleaner myself so I do understand. I thought there were some marks on the bathroom shelf so I spoke to an older lady about it and she came back to me and informed me something hot had been left on the side so these were probably burn marks. But unfortunately when it came to the bathroom sink drain hole, this was really dirty. This really is not acceptable for an establishment that charges these prices. I called into my room one day to find a young girl tidying up. She just grunted at me when I said hello. No conversation whatsoever. Despite these annoyances, I will be back as I enjoyed my stay and the bed was particularly comfortable and the hotel is centrally located in Exeter. UPDATE This is much improved on last year. This year I paid more for a larger room which was much more suited to the purpose. It overlooked the garden, had a huge bed with plenty of room round it. The cleaning was also much improved. I would always book a Classic Room in the future. It made all the difference. Also, the room was situated at the end of the building, so you didn't hear anyone snoring or banging about. PLEASE NOTE the parking is now £20.

I used to be a regular here, but have stopped going completely due to the extremely rude/poor customer service (which is bordering on discrimination tbh) and mediocre food and coffee that costs far more than it is worth. I'm pretty sure the pastries are just bought and reheated from a wholesale retailer anyways. At one point, the staff covered up the outlets so that students and workers couldn't even work there. What a way to treat your valued customers (end sarcasm). Coming from a small business background myself from California, I gotta say that this probably isn't the best way to go about running a thriving cafe. Customer service is key, and word gets around fast. Side note - I don't really get why a business in this day and age would choose to be so overtly rude and discriminatory when cash is king, but hey ho.
