Very convenient for beach, shops and gardens. Gates on the car park, our room was fairly quiet and nice, although a bit dated, shower wasn’t very good. Breakfast was cooked as required and it was lovely 😊 Staff were very helpful. We would stay there again 😁

Great hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Our room was very spacious as we upgraded to a four poster bedroom (room 120), but what we gained with having a great room we lost out on the view out of the bedroom window (limited to just a view of a flat roof). Would definitely go back to this hotel 👍

This was perfect for our needs, a Thursday night in Cardiff. Would definitely stay here again. Fantastic rooms, comfortable beds. Only after booking was I made aware that this hotel can be very noisy at the weekends - worth consider considering if you will be there on a Friday or Saturday night. It was wonderfully quiet on a Thursday night!

Great hotel. Have been coming for years for an annual birthday night out with a group of friends. Guy at reception was very friendly, especially as we were concerned we may not be able to park there as no space, but did manage to in the end. Hotel is great...not the most modern, no, but homely and rooms have always been spacious, clean and welcoming. The bar/club is great for a night out. Would definitely recommend. Very close to town centre and beach too. Well done Royal Exeter!

The noise levels have I creased massively since my last stay. My original room and major issues with the water and electricity. The restaurant and 1812 bar staff were brilliant. The "manager" was not helpful and by the end of may stay; wouldn't even look me in the eye. My first room had drainage and electrical issues and my second room had problems too. WiFi works ok on floor two but not very well at the crack of dawn. Breakfast was good and came without any fuss
