Booked the Rougemont as it was close to the venue we were attending for an exhibition. It had a good city centre location. However, the first thing that we were greeted with was all the smokers, staff and guests, outside and in front of the the front steps to reception. The reception staff were very efficient and our room (located... More

I arrived at the Hotel to a pleasant greeting but I wasnt given any direction to my room. As soon as I went into my room the heat hit me, I opened the window immediately but it was only half a window so did not open very far. I checked the heating was off but it didnt help that ALL... More

A beautiful old hotel. Six of us were in England for almost a month. Did the Narrow boats down the canals 2 weeks. Rain and mist. No soap, no facecloths. Breakfast was included (really yummy) a buffet. Rain and mist. Train again to Poole, rain and mist (drinks cart) 3 days... Thistle In Poole not as good as Exeter food... More

I booked to break up a journey to St Austell & it represented good value. For a Victorian/Edwardian building with lots of period features, it could easily aspire to being a tad more upmarket although it is comfortably appointed and is well located. On arrival, the welcome and assistance from reception was appreciated after an 8 hour drive from the... More

I chose Thistle mainly because the hotel looked OK on the website and because the price for a single room was good. I was happy with the location and the room was fine. I was surprised there was no temperature control (unusual with a 4* hotel). The bed was a little lumpy and the sheets weren't tucked in at the... More

Why wait on the platform at Exeter Central Station when you can pop across the road and have a leisurely lunch at the Rougement Friendly service,quiet comfortable surroundings and a good value light lunch Sit back in comfortable red leather armchairs and relax Then back to the scrum of the train

Huge reception spaces and grand stairways, but a very small single room, OK for a two night stay but would have felt cramped for anything longer. Adequate bathroom with good hot water supply and towels but a narrow passageway from there to beyond the bed. A built in desk with two drawers, and a small round table made up, with... More

I was I have to say disappointed by the comfort level of this hotel. Admittedly, at the end of March the weather was freezing and wet but that shouldn't mean the bedroom should be likewise. I appreciate the problem of not having double glazing on a listed building, but our suite at the front was absolutely freezing. Firstly, the management... More

I arrived at 9pm to find the car park full. It is very small and I could imagine this happening a lot. There is free overnight parking on the road nearby - but you have to move or begin paying by 8 am. Room was pretty standard, but the windows were in need of replacing. Ate there once, but burger...
