Friendly staff. Centrally located in the heart of the city. Although on-site parking is listed, there are limited 7 spots, and we end up having to park on the street.

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.

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.

We stayed here for five nights and it was amazing. The room is in excellent condition. The hotel was always clean. The receptionists were very professional and courteous. The breakfast was the usual continental breakfast. I really enjoys the food at the Le Kock restaurant. Jazz music on Monday nights..very entertaining. Highly recommended.
