“Good choice in Exeter”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel is up a small hill and facing a park in Exeter. Very quiet area, but easy to walk downtown, a few blocks to Exeter Central rail station. A very lively Wetherspoons a few blocks away, which was a good recommendation by owners of hotel. Comfortable room, good flatscreen, did have trouble with internet reception, and the stairs are steep and narrow. The owners are very helpful with local information and clearly hard-working, serve good breakfasts in a downstairs room looking out on their garden. Seems easy to meet other guests because of smallness of breakfast room. Close to university.

“City Centre but Quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is only about 200 yards level walk from the city centre, but faces a park on one side and big gardens on the other, so is very quiet. It is only about 100 yards from each of the 2 main train stations and is very close to the university.

The owners are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. It has off-street parking and wi-fi and a great breakfast.

A few of our friends have stayed here and they all rate it.

“Nice little place, good value, easy walk to center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here two nights - 1st landing spot in UK, after flying into Heathrow & a long bus ride.
Quite comfortable room. A bit small, but not unusually so for UK B&Bs. Good wifi connection, excellent breakfast. Easy walk into the center of town (10-15 mins). We also walked to it from the central bus station when we arrived - also about 15 minutes. A gentle uphill walk, and quite doable.

We stayed there for two nights and really enjoyed the great atmosphere and rooms of the hotel. The service was very friendly and professional, really Hotel quality for B&B prices.
Nice, quiet location on a little hill, quite close to the centre with a nice view and a cute little garden.

“Quiet but Central Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Park View Hotel is most pleasantly situated in Exeter, being only a short walk from the university (i.e. excellent for family of students at Exeter) and only a short walk from the city centre. It is easy to find if one is coming FROM the university. We appreciated our comfortable, clean rooms and the pleasant, friendly welcome we received. A copious breakfast fortified us for our trip into Cornwall (again easily reached by car or train from Park View Hotel). We would warmly recommend Park View Hotel.
