Unfortunately there was building works going on at the time of our stay and the back of the hotel was covered in scaffolding, which meant we were put in a front room which is very near to a busy road and as the weather was extremely hot we had to open the windows which was very noisy. We realise that due to the repair works being carried out this was un-avoidable and as such will not put us off booking with Hotel Du Vin in the future when we are next in Exeter as it is otherwise usually a very comfortable hotel.

Having stayed before we knew that it was an ideal location for our needs, has extra comfortable beds, super showers, is very dog friendly and the staff are all extremely helpful & friendly

Lack of parking, and I booked on booking.com and it said parking available-however we had to go to the car park over the road, but this cost £18 each for us to park their. As my husband met me after work. I think that maybe if the parking is not available in the hotel car park then payment for the other parking that as a hotel offer a reimbursement for this.

We liked the room and the shower was good.

The hotel is in a grand building but still feels slightly institutional (it was originally a hospital) and the colour schemes throughout plus the barren corridors do nothing to stop this feeling! Also, dogs are not allowed in the restaurant and their owners would normally have to eat in the bar or library. However, the excellent staff made us feel very comfortable in a delightful, small circular room off the main restaurant, which was ideal. Unfortunately, the actual meal was a disappointment but again, the staff did their best to rectify this.

Our Junior Suite was very comfortable and had everything needed + much appreciated extras so felt very welcoming. There was also a lovely bed, bowls and treats for our small dog. The hotel welcomes dogs, but not in the restaurant and this means dog owners have to sit elsewhere to eat, but the staff accommodated our needs. There is also a good outside area for alfresco dining. An excellent breakfast is available too. Our stay was definitely improved by the whole atmosphere within the hotel made by the smiling, efficient staff.

Couldn't have air conditioning on in the night as it only turned on with the lights and the room got very stuffy, we had to open the windows onto a busy and noisy main road

Staff were excellent, the beds were comfortable and everything you needed was to hand.

Our room was smaller than expected with the toilet very close to the bed. The mattress was so soft we rolled in to the middle when we both were in bed. Needs new mattresses for sure. Breakfast was included in our prices but wouldn’t pay £20 for the cooked option. We had eggs Benedict and the eggs weren’t runny and the muffin very soft and not enjoyable or tasty. Plenty of pastries and fresh juices available though and enjoyed the granola. The pool area wasn’t kept very clean and could have had staff come clean the changing rooms and sweep away pools of water !

Perfectly placed , close to the river and town . Fab little pool and the staff were very accommodating

Staff at the restaurant were great. However, the service was a quite slow and we had to wait for quite some time to be seated and get our order taken - they were clearly short staffed on the day so can't fault them.

Absolutely amazing stay! Staff at reception and housekeeping were very friendly and professional. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are very well decorated and comfortable. Toiletries in the bathroom are good quality. The heated pool was fantastic, perfect to relax after a long day :) Definitely try the food at the restaurant, it was worth the wait!

That parking at the hotel had to be reserved in advance was not obvious at the time of booking.

Very helpful staff even to the extent of providing ironing facility for family member joining us after we had booked out. High quality dinner and breakfast. Interesting conversion of the old eye hospital.

Parking. There was an initial mix up with parking but then I was reassured I would have parking for the stay at £20/night. However, each evening I returned there was a “mix up”. Great hotel, shame about their parking process

The service was super, perfect location for what we were in Exeter for, lovely little pool and great breakfast

Helen at breakfast continues to excel at her job. She always goes the extra mile to meet and greet and make you feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble and she clearly loves her role. Room upgrade again was a nice touch. Thank you Hotel du Vin!

The parking arrangements weren't totally clear so a bit confusing on arrival but fine in the end! Just remember to reserve ahead.

We were kindly upgraded to a bigger room, which was spacious and very comfortable. Great breakfast and loved the pool!

Had to pay at local car park as no availability at the hotel. ... albeit the local car park was right on your doorstep.
