This was a great spot to stay on our first night in Exeter! It's right in the center of town so you're really close to everything. There's also a pub downstairs/next door which was convenient. We had a minor plumbing issue the first night, but the hotel was able to take care of it. I would stay here again!

Rooms are lovely and staff are great but the noise at night is terrible. Granted you are provided with ear plugs but upgrading windows to cancel out noise from the terrace would be ideal. Otherwise a nice stay

Beautifully furnished old room up several small flights of stairs (not easily accessible for some). Recently refurbished old pub in a really central location near the Cathedral. Staff were amazing - managing to make us tea & coffee when there was a power cut! Would definitely reommend.

Rooms are quite nicely appointed but they are on top of a very noisy pub in the city center. I wouldn’t stay there if I wasn’t with a man.

The Turks Head is a lovely place to stay - it's very clean and comfortable and the staff really friendly, welcoming and polite. However, there is noise from from the pub and this could be unsettling for some guests.

Lovely Room

It was a really nice room with good amenities - bottled water, good coffee and lovely smellies in the bathroom. The rooms are above a pub, so it was busy outside late at night, but the windows are double glazed and they provided us with ear plugs just in case (I dont need them). The entrance is next door to the actual pub, which feels really friendly and cosy. However I think they could do with cleaning the doorway/entrance in the mornings (a quick bucket of water or something) as it wasn't very inviting to open onto bodily fluids left in the doorway.

Very handy for centre of Exeter. Clean and well equipped, a little tired in places but it's an old, historic building so that's to be expected. Can be a touch noisy with voices outside, but ear plugs provided if needed - and this didn't interrupt our sleep. Would stay again - staff very friendly.
