Does what it says on the tin :)

Booked just a couple of hours ahead post a week in Cornwall and wanting to see Exeter before heading home Sunday. Great location and handy for stations, the quayside area and shops. We saw the cathedral and visited the super underground passages. Also took the train to Exmouth. Breakfast was included but was SO busy and queues were v long. Staff worked hard managing this v professionally but I felt for them as it simply was chaotic! Ok quality though but I prefer no dogs in the dining area even if they are staying in the hotel. One was barking :( We didn’t realise we had to pay for parking - £16 for a 24 hour stay - no guarantee of a spot either but we were lucky but bear that in mind. Air con was good on a hot night.

I had a wonderful time at the Holiday Inn Express in Exeter Saint David. While traveling alone, I found this hotel to be the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and truly made me feel welcomed. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it a great spot for a comfortable stay. I also did some research online beforehand, and the hotel's amenities and services lived up to my expectations. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Exeter. I look forward to returning in the future!

Clean hotel, unfortunately the dining area is far too small when the hotel is busy. Although a dog friendly hotel, you are asked to sit in a specific area and if it's busy, you may have to wait an hour or so, or take breakfast in your room, despite tables being available and the food area being separate from the seating area. Overall not too bad price wise, by the time you add on parking and the pet. We stayed for 4 nights in the May holidays, worked out around £100/night. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Pleasant hotel, good location with friendly staff

The hotel is well located, just a short walk from the town centre. Parking was very easy. Room was very pleasant, modern with good amenities. Check in was a little slow, but I think we just were unlucky with our arrival time. Breakfast was good, a variety of choices. Very friendly and helpful staff

Nice room. Unfortunately other guests chatting when returning in the early morning (up to 4.26am) was too noisy for us. No warm water in the morning for a shower.
