Exeter Central St Davids hotel

Second visit to this Premier Inn and have no complaints. Clean, comfortable rooms and a great location Staff polite and helpful

Room 207 is a large, very comfortable room and has a large double bed with 4 pillows. Thermostat goes down to 19C and widow tilts open to 6” at the bottom so it wasn’t hot and stuffy like hotels often are. Curtains are blackout and effectively light proof around the edges as well. Very clean bathroom with double size shower, no bath. 2 chairs and a table, hot drinks station, hairdryer, toiletries, towels all good. Fast free WI and big flat TV screen. View is over a back lane and small, likely staff car park. No early morning noise or traffic despite the hotel being straight across the road from St David’s railway station and just down an alley from a Wetherspoons with an enormous illuminated beer garden. Paid £81 on 25/7/25. Opted out of the additional cost for breakfast. There is also the option for evening meals and a bar. The staff were all lovely, especially the older one who was still helping everyone at midnight.

as always the mattress was wonderful and give us a good night sleep the only thing to let this hotel down is the lack of parking even though there’s parking over the road. It was sometimes hard to find a space and the spaces are pretty narrow for today’s size of car .

A convenient location makes this a great hotel. It's a bit impersonal with the self service check in and out, but the staff that were on hand were pleasant enough. Parking in the train station carpark opposite is reasonable and easy to pay for. The Mill on the Exe is a 15 minute walk away for an excellent evening meal, and the on-site self-service breakfast was as expected for a Premier Inn.

To walk out of Exeter St. David's railway station after a long journey involving multiple changes and see my hotel straight in front of me was immensely welcome. A fellow traveller had a more complicated route to her hotel by comparison. Again, I was allocated a room on the first floor facing the road and right at the end of the corridor. This had been the same at the Haywards Heath Premier a few weeks back. But whereas there there was no window screening other than the heavy curtains here there were net curtains as well so that normal daylight could enter the room without my being observed from the outside in "goldfish bowl" style. My initial impression of the room was that it was very cold but I fiddled around with the controls and soon had it at a more comfortable level. The room and the bathroom were spotless. The breakfast was more organised than my last visit to a Premier Inn and although I was a little surprised to find tinned strawberries in the fruit selection I still ate them for that retro experience! Soundproofing as regards the outside was excellent and because I was at the end of the corridor I had no irritating fire door thumps every few minutes. A comfortable hotel, very well positioned for those arriving by rail.
