I booked a weekend break at the Barcelona for a birthday celebration. The location is perfect for exploring Exeter which has much to offer for a weekend break. The Hotel building is full of character and the hotel is very quirky, we had no problem parking at the hotel and parking was free of charge. Despite paying extra for a... more

Nice hotel, the rooms are clean, the staff friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room facing the main road so some noise could be heard from the traffic and close-by bar. However this did not affect our stay which was very pleasant. The breakfast is reasonable but a bit expensive for what you get. more

Staff were lovely - very friendly, helpful and laid back. The food was superb and the cocktails extremely good value for money! There was... more

Check in was effortless with v friendly staff. The... more

Quirky hotel with modern fixtures and fittings in an authentic convertable hospital. Staff were efficient, rooms clean and comfortable. COnvenient location for City centre. No complaints about our stay. more

I'm a bit middle aged now, but young at heart so I didn't feel too out of place, but I thought my attire was a little M&S. Anyway, the opportunity arose of giving... more

We were thoroughly disappointed with the restaurant, after waiting 25 minutes for our order to be taken, the starters then arrived before our drinks. The hotel did give us the first drinks as compensation for having such bad service. What topped off the experience was the pizza arrived with the dough not baked and cold in patches. Awful meal, we... more

Stayed here for 2 nights and was very impressed. Had a room on the side of the hotel, no wardrobe, but king size bed, and plenty of space to hang things on knobs on the walls. Didn't have much time to spend in the room, but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom well appointed and everything was really spotless. Only... more
