"Comfortable and quiet"

Good efficient service, easy to find and book, friendly and efficient staff, clean and well appointed room, relaxing and quiet despite being opposite a mainline railway station. Up amongst the best premier inns I have stayed at.

"Convenient location, but with some odd wrinkles"

We were attending a conference at the University of Exeter, but wanted to be close to the railway station. The Premier Inn St Davids is right across from the station and is not too far from the university. However, because we are no longer hale and hearty, the walk up the hills to the campus was not on. Taxi service was generally available just across the road at the station cab rank or at Apple Cabs, whose office is adjacent. It is wise to make a booking with Apple well in advance--morning 'rush hour' can lead to prolonged waits. But the service was excellent and they also could be called for pickup at the University. Now, to the hotel itself. The check-in was prompt and the room was clean, quiet and comfortable albeit a bit spartan. Upon arriving at one's floor, your room key will open an intermediate hall door. (We had no trouble, but several other guests found their keys would not function and had to trundle back down to the front desk. ) The dinner service was quite nice--good selection and prompt and cordial service. The breakfast--which we prebooked on an offered package of 8.99 per person perday, was generous--they were willling to cook eggs to order; the physical layout was a bit confining, but we were pleased over all. Now, to the "problem". First of all, we discovered that their room telephones do not have the capacity to ring another guest room. We discovered this after trying to make a call. When we rang reception, no one answered (this about 5 pm) and I let it ring at least 50 times.) I don't know what would happen were there to be an emergency in one's room. We had the same experience on two other occasions--ringing in vain. to be sure, some times when we came to the lobby no one was around, but evidently there is no other place from which calls might be answered. Another challenge, and I do not know if this is a standard issue for Premier Inns, is that telephone calls from outside cannot be patched through to guest rooms! For a hotel that seems, to some degree, to be for the use of business travelers, I was surprised by this omission in service. So, overall, a convenient and comfortable place to spend a night or two with the convenience of proximity to the station (no significant railway noise was experienced.) It is not so convenient a location for visiting central Exeter, the shopping precincts and the Cathedral (which is a must see.) There are bus services and the aforementioned taxis.

"Short stay at Premier Inn St David's Exeter"

Premier Inn is ideally situated opposite the main line station and although traffic was heavy on the road the noise level within the hotel was very good. Staff at St David's made every effor tot make our stay enjoyable.

"Holiday trip"

Good location for the station, its just opposite. 20 minutes walk to city centre and it's up hill in places. 30 minutes to the refurbished quay. The room was ready when I arrived at 14:10. Down side, there was a strong smell of disinfectant. So I opened the window and went out for the afternoon. On my return the smell had cleared. Everything was standard Premier Inn. Hotel was quiet. I didn't try the restaurant as I was on a timetable but there were plenty of guests eating there. On check out the desk was not covered and guests just piled up the room cards on the desk. Not very security conscious.
