A fantastic stay at City Gate Hotel.

Room was a little tired. ##### Mrs Vicky Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlotte 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service The room was small even though we paid extra for deluxe. I wouldn’t call the deluxe the standard they portrayed in photos. Shower was really poor. Too hot or Too cold and no pressure. Room had a bad odour location good but no parking . ##### Charlotte Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan 17 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great little hotel. The opposite of what you'd get at a soulless chain hotel, full of nooks and crannies, old world charm, quirky but comfortable too. We loved the bedroom too, so comfortable. It's just a stones throw from the centre of Exeter, the cathedral and quayside area as well as the catacombs etc. Excellent food too at City Gate and lots of great restaurants to try out nearby too. Pretty much no downsides. Parking was an issue. Breakfast was gorgeous if a little pricey. Otherwise I couldn't recommend City Gate enough.

Very helpful and charming staff who sorted out a pricing discrepancy with Expedia for me. Very comfortable huge bed, good linen and well equipped room and bathroom. Looking just a little tired around the edges now in all honesty but still recommend. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoyed our stay. Bedroom good with lots of little extras available. However could do with some additional hand rails to help anyone walking with a stick (eg hand rails are not on all staircases).Very creaky floor, had our fingers crossed all was secure. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 23 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A nice stay in a conveniently location with a very friendly bunch of staff, very relaxing break. ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 28 Nov 2024 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was amazing and the service was really friendly ##### Adam Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely room and friendly staff ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl 19 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Perfect location for shopping and the hotel served an amazing roast dinner. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Larissa 28 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely stay, it is a short walk from the city centre with a lovely pub, will be staying here again. ##### Larissa Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff excellent, food excellent, bedding and towels and products excellent. ##### Nicola Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice little place.
