Top Customs House Hotel Reviews

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for exploring the city! The building is stunning and we stayed in the Cromwell Suite which was a real treat the bath was wonderful! Everyone was helpful and friendly"

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had great overnight stay for a work trip. My room was spacious and had a nice bathroom. Modern on/off button shower was good. The tv reception was not great (BBC1 didn't work), the carpet a little worn and the shower leaked to the bathroom floor but these were minor details and didn't really impact my overall view. I slept well, the staff were friendly and the best thing was the breakfast. Recommended for an overnight stay."

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"Perfectly decent place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good and the hotel is conveniently located for the city centre and local train services."

St Andrews Hotel

8/10 Good

"Space is tight to access the parking to the rear of the property but it’s a pro that parking is free. Location is great, approx 20 min walk to city centre. Staff were very helpful. Hotel itself is basic but value for money Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great with lots of choice. Would stay again."

Hotel Indigo Exeter by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy room. Great location"

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Good quality hotel - always clean and comfortable. Parking nearby."

Southernhay House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We got the largest room they had. It was literally an apartment across the street on the basement level. Right outside the bedroom was a walkway/pedestrian route and people walked by all day and all night. Definitely wouldn't recommend that room even though it was extremely spacious. The people working the hotel were friendly."

"greaaattttt"

Cathedral Yard - Art Deco Luxury Apartment with Iconic Exeter Cathedral Views

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully decorated spacious apartment where you step out the front door on to the Cathedral Green. Right in the centre of Exeter with shopping, food and drinks all close by. Great as a base to travel to other Devon attractions. All facilities you could need including washing machine & dishwasher. Would stay here again It was a lovely shower but lacked the power to truly impress."
