Top Wellington Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Exeter East by IHG

8/10 Good

"Booked a twin room but told they were full on arrival so we were upgraded to the family room. Love that it was literally near the entrance on ground floor. Only downside to the room as the pull out sofa bed dipped so my daughter was sleeping in a downward tiltwd position and the room had a musty smell to it. Aside from that, food was great and handy to a restaurant on site. Also other eateries nearby too. Was fine for a nights stay."

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff friendly. Changed room due noise no problem."

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

"L"

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great for families. The snack area near reception is great and pool is perfect and very chill and quiet. Lovely breakfast."
