What Guests Say About Their Stay

This was perfect for a uni visit stay. Excellent location close to the station and town centre. The building is a fantastic Victorian villa with lots of quirky original features and decorated really nicely. The staff are really welcoming. Breakfast was really good and included in our rooom rare which is a bargain! We stayed in 2 rooms and the beds were really comfy. Room has everything you need though bring your own hairdryer if you have thick/long hair. Shower is fine - not overly strong but these rooms are sympathetically styled into an old Victorian building - don't expect a walk in shower with rain attachment! Would absolutely recommend and will definitely stay again.

Nice clean room, even had a small balcony! Superb location - 10 minutes walk from Exeter St. David's Railway Station, and only a 10 minute walk into Exeter City Centre. Staff very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.

My single room at The Telstar was so small that I couldn't even open up my umbrella to dry it out. I spent much of my time in the room with my teeth chattering because the small radiator simply didn't generate enough heat to warm the bedroom and the postage-stamp-sized bathroom. When I checked in, I specifically asked if housekeeping was provided every day and I was assured that it was. Upon returning the first day around 4:30 p.m.,however, the bed was still unmade and the towels hadn't been replaced. I reported it to the woman at the front desk and she brought up clean towels and cleaned the bathroom sink herself. Housekeeping did show up the next day, but left me without a bath mat. Because I was cold and wet from being out all day, I decided to take a hot shower. But even after running the water for about 15 minutes, it was still only luke warm, although the water first thing in the morning was nice and hot. Probably the only thing I can say in The Telstar's favor is that the full English breakfast served every morning was excellent and the servers were pleasant and efficient.

The ground floor room was clean and warm. The beds comfortable. The ensuite is very small and not heated a heated towel rail would help together with more than one hook on the door to hang clothes/ towel. The curtains need to be thicker so light doesn't come through. A larger cordless kettle would be safer than the travel kettle. The handle on the old wardrobe is loose. The welcome and service was warm . The breakfast was tasty. The property is between Exeter St Davids and Central and walkable.

Family room that was in its own space with a small garden was lovely, nice drinks tray which included filtered water. Complimentary toiletries also great. Bed very comfortable so had a good night's sleep. All staff where lovely making sure you had everything you needed from check in to checkout. Breakfast was superb offering vegetarian and vegan options which was a plus for me , my partner had the meat option on both the produce was excellent quality., good selection of teas and coffee, also plenty of fruit, yogurts, cereals , fruit juice etc. This is also situated within 10 minute walk from the train station and the town which was brilliant for us. We would definately start again.
