Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Du Vin Exeter is often praised for its lovely and stylish rooms, some of which are spacious with extra bathtubs, robes and Nespresso machines. Many guests appreciate the central location, making it easy to explore Exeter's attractions such as the cathedral and quayside, both within walking distance. The hotel offers amenities like a heated outdoor pool and a well-assorted bar, and while some guests have found the on-site parking limited and somewhat expensive, there's usually a public parking option nearby, which is convenient. Guests also loved relaxing treatments in the spa, such as pedicures and massages with Temple Spa products.

this hotel was very fantastic, its situation is easy to reach from the city i was visiting. modern decor and facilities felt so comfortable to me. i had a pedicure in the spa and my sister a facial and they used beautiful temple spa products and was relaxing.
parking was very limited and public parking was too expensive so i did not use it. heating in the room didn't work and the room was very cold. i needed a plug in heater that they provided.

The staff members were very attentive. I found my Beautiful Room spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is only a short walk to the city centre.
I didn't realize I needed to book a parking space in advance. The cold tap in the bathroom did not work, so I had to use very hot water. The air conditioning was not effective, so the room was uncomfortably warm at night.
