Lovely City centre location!

This was our fourth visit to the Indigo and there will be more visits because we love the very convenient city centre location when visiting our son at the Uni. We love the rooms and the decor. The staff are always very friendly and attentive. However, on our most recent visit we felt the standard of the breakfast had slipped a little. When certain items from the buffet ran out they weren’t replenished despite requesting more from staff (e.g. orange juice and fruit). Comparing to our previous visits, I had the feeling that perhaps the breakfast room was a little understaffed? Having said this, the hot breakfast items were delicious.

Average stay

Our room was lovely and the location is great. The service at the bar and for breakfast service was poor however. Took forever for our breakfast to arrive, and had to ask for cutlery etc. It was a bit chaotic. The breakfast was very good though, when it did arrive! I also asked for a bottle of fizz to be in our room as it was my wife’s birthday, which was sorted (along with some very tasty carrot cake!) However, on checkout I realised this cost £60! I checked the bottle online and retails at around £10 in the supermarkets. An expensive mistake! Won’t rush back, but have certainly stayed at worse hotels.

Central location in Exeter

This Hotel, was literally right in the middle of a shopping mall and near the Cathedral. Hotel provided details for nearby parking station's, which meant a short bag drag to hotel. Pedestrian zone only. Our room was very modern and spacious. Nice rooftop bar with views to Cathedral. Easy food options nearby.
