Great location, only 5 minutes walk from Exeter St David's train station. I've only stayed for one night due to business travelling. The breakfast variety and service experience was great, a good variety of refreshments. The building itself shows its age, and my floor was very squeaky, I hope there were no tenants below me! I've opted on with the shared bathroom option and the bathroom was sparkling clean. Overall great place!

Stayed here for one night in August. Was really impressed with the Telstar. Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Room was cosy (I had a single room) and had everything I needed. Breakfast was great and fab location in town for Exeter St David’s or Exeter Central station. Will definitely stay again when passing through!

Really nice B & B, clean and very central, just a 5 minutes walk to the shops and 10 minutes to the river. Staff were very friendly and the service was good. No complaints at all.

호텔은 역에서 매우 가까워서 캐리어가 있음에도 힘들지 않았습니다. 호텔의 스태프들은 매우 친절했고, 저에게 좋은 서비스를 제공하기 위해 노력해주었습니다. 호텔 방도 좋았지만, 아무래도 shared bathroom 인 점은 불편했습니다. 물론 투숙객이 많지 않고 분비지 않아 제가 화장실을 이용하는데 불편함은 없었지만, 그럼에도 방을 나가서 화장실을 이용하는 점이 약간 불편했습니다. 그 점만 제외하고는 호텔 조식도 좋았고, 다른 모든 면은 좋았습니다.

The property was ideally suited for the Railway station and bus services plus a handy Wetherspoons just down the road the room I was in was road facing but not a problem it was nice and compact and a very comfortable bed, the full English breakfast I had was delicious plus facilities the hosts were lovely can’t fault anything I would definitely stay here again. 👍

Great value choice for a night’s stay in Exeter Very well run traditional guest house with friendly and efficient staff and in a good location for St David’s station and the city centre. Decent WiFi and an excellent breakfast with vegan and gluten free options. My single room (12) had a shared bathroom which was fine and there was a sink in my room plus a fan which was useful in the heat. Some quirks with TV reception a bit dodgy, the lamp didn’t seem to work unless I was being thick and the fan may need adjusting to avoid the noisy start but otherwise a great value choice for a night.
