The Exeter Hotel met my expectations fully. Our room, though small, was comfortable. The breakfast was ample, varied and good. The attached Le Kock restaurant and Deig bakery enhance food choices and convenience. The bakery is fabulous. Our location was convenient and within walking distance of many restaurants and the waterfront is across the street. Parking availability was good as well. I would stay there again.

My son and I stayed here for 1 night before flying out the next morning. We loved it! The room was comfortable and clean. Bonus points for having a mini fridge! Very friendly check in staff, which was appreciated after a long travel day. We didn’t get the breakfast because we wanted to try the bakery next door. 10ish min walk to the Rainbow Street area. Parking wasn’t ideal but I was able to find street parking after driving around a few times. Definitely recommend!!

Fabulous hotel with fantastic staff - especially the lady who welcomes you to breakfast, ask her anything, if she doesn’t know ( which she probably does) she will find out. Food was great and there is a popular bakery attatched - do try the amazing donuts! Location was perfect, harbour across the road, town a 5 minute walk away with most attractions walkable or a short taxi ride away.
