Holiday Inn Express - Exeter - City Centre, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Exeter

Holiday Inn Express - Exeter - City Centre, an IHG Hotel is situated in Exeter, within 6.4 km of Sandy Park Rugby Stadium and 25 km of Newton Abbot Racecourse.

Excellent location shame they charge another £16 per night for parking. Room was a little small and cold as air unit not heating up only blowing cold air. Breakfast was fine but struggled to get a seat as so busy. Queued for everything.

FAQs about hotels in Exeter








A Host of History

Set around the Exe River, affluent Exeter has played a part in English history from the Roman era to William the Conqueror to the Spanish Armada. Its most impressive structure is the cathedral, begun in the 11th century and boasting the longest stone roof in England.

The surrounding green is a popular picnic spot, and the half-timbered buildings and red-brick façades of the neighbouring High Street house a host of shops. Even more are in the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping centres.

The Guildhall itself is considered England’s oldest municipal building still in use, while nearby Parliament Street is one of the world’s narrowest streets. The remains of 11th-century St Nicholas Priory are now a museum, and there are more red-stone ruins at hilltop Exeter Castle (or Rougemont Castle), built into the Roman walls.

Exeter Central Station is behind the castle, while St Davids Station is nearer the university. The large student population means that the city has good nightlife, and some bars are located by the Quayside, site of Custom House. The river flows past Topsham and Powderham Castle to enter the sea at Exmouth.

To the east are Exeter Airport and the Westpoint Arena exhibition centre, both easily reached from Booking.com’s hotels with spas, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

    I have booked and stayed with HI for the last 14 years. You know what you are going to get. Its consistently good and the rooms are regularly updated. Always so very clean. Beds are great. Breakfast was so so good. best yet in fact. Staff were tidy and friendly and could not help us enough. We did not want to book out.....a real treat and the icing on the cake THEY ACCEPT DOGS. Why on earth hotels dont allow dogs is beyond me. A huge thank you to all at this hotel.

    A trip to the cathedral is well worth it, fantastic architecture. We did the tunnels well worth doing a great guide and tour. Exeter has a lot to offer. Pubs and eateries. The Quay is well worth a visit The Prospect Pub does great food and drink. Walk along the canal very peaceful

    Exeter is a lovely place , however, if driiving it is a nightmare lots of one way streets nowhere to stop if lost , almost no on street parking (unless a payment machine is there ) this is especially frustrating if visiting the royal hospital as the car park cannot cope , and all the surrounding roads are double yellow lines , many people driving around in circles missing appointments and getting angry.

    Exeter quay is vibrant, attractive and a lovely area to visit. We walked along the canal whilst others paddled to a lovely pub called double locks. Lunch was excellent at the pub. Evening at local gin distillery- quayside gins which again was excellent. Only stayed one night but would highly recommend.

    The location is ideal if you are travelling to Exeter Central Station or want to go out in the town centre in the evening. The hotel has a lot of character and is perfectly clean and comfortable, although there are shabby spots. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There is a large comfortable lobby and a very nice bar. Breakfast was standard and perfectly acceptable. I think this is a great choice if you want character and location with the high standards of the chain (Accor).

    This hotel is the perfect location for us and is our preferred stay when travelling to Exeter. Eldest child attends the university so we come and go for various reasons and we're never disappointed. The rooms are very comfortable, the staff are friendly and the car parking is really easy across the road. It's a short walk from the hotel into town for shops and restaurants.
