Overall Ratings & Reviews University of Exeter Holland Hall

The rooms we had were a big step above the student rooms we had back in the 1980's although they could benefit from better ventilation in hot weather. The fact they had ensuite facilities and lifts helped greatly. The breakfast was very good indeed and the staff very professional and friendly.

Very good value with breakfast also included.

Good rooms, beautiful location at the university campus. A rather poor breakfast service with nearly only fried food available. Difficulties with obtaining an institutional invoice, hopefully to be solved by mail.

They did no change the sheets in 8 days

In the halls at Exeter University, basic but good value for the area. Excellent breakfast, self service with everything you want.

I stayed here again after four years—back then we were in Clydesdale Court, and this time we chose the guest rooms in Holland Hall. The campus was beautifully quiet during term break, and the staff were as friendly and helpful as ever. My room was simple yet spotless, with a lovely view. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had excellent water pressure—just be mindful of the wet floor afterward. If you need a hairdryer or other small extras, simply ask at reception. Despite a large academic conference onsite, check‑in, breakfast, and every aspect of my stay ran smoothly. Breakfast was excellent, and the dining hall is spacious with its own pleasant outlook. There’s also a cozy social area beside reception—both indoors and outdoors—which is perfect for relaxing. All in all, a peaceful, nice stay—I’d happily return again.

Remember that it's student accommodation. The rooms are a good size and well finished. There is a gym and a pool on the campus, but it is necessary to drive into town for restaurants. This place is perfect for a quick one-night stay.

The property was spotless ,very secure. The staff friendly and helpful.

Clean and tidy, but small and spartan. Small shower with dreaded curtain in a wet room. Hard bed. Great breakfast

The location is beautiful and very handy from Exeter St Davids station. It is a steep uphill walk from there, but I enjoyed it. My room was clean and functional as advertied. The breakfast was excellent with a huge variety if options.

Excellent position having lovely views across the Devon countryside basic rooms but sufficient for our stay

Fantastic option for a reasonably priced couple of nights stay! Basic student accommodation with no frills. Water piping hot and room spotlessly clean. Staff were more than helpful and looked after me very well. The buffet breakfast was great and a good selection. Some gluten free options are available. It’s about a 20 - 30 minute walk (I walk quite fast) from the station and also to town. NB there is a very steep hill to the campus so if you’re pulling a suitcase it could be wise to take a taxi from the station! So if you’re looking for a cheap overnight stay with no frills but safe, clean and comfortable- then this option is ideal! Plenty of tea and coffee is available. Hairdryers are available upon request. Loved it’

Ottima colazione continentale, camera ok, bagno da migliorare: doccia con solo una tenda e molto spartano.

We loved the university , lovely beautiful ground, lots of walkway , beautiful surrounding nature , big beautiful mature trees which well taking good care of. Great choice of breakfast , great value for money. enjoyed breakfast ( though hot breakfast a was Luke warm, could improve on hot food temperature ) However, take time to find Holland Hall as several building near by , improvement can be made with clear signage ( front door said reception , however, at time unsure ? reception for Holland Hall or for student reception. Overall enjoyed staying at Holland Hall . great value for money . Will visit again in future . Thank you

Sadly disappointing. We had a small room on the top floor with two small windows - not the full length windows shown in the pictures. So the room felt dark and very basic. Small bar of soap was the only toiletry provided. Tiny kettle- not big enough for 2 cups even though we’d booked it as a double room. Not the fault of the accommodation provider but the noise from the seagulls was so loud throughout the night that we had to close the windows but there was no fan or other means to circulate the air. So the room was hot and stuffy. I’m sure other rooms in the buildings are better but sadly that wasn’t our experience.

Considering this is student accomodation the quality is good. Just be warned if you are not driving this property is on a very steep hill. Overall though Good value for money.

It is a nice experience. The condition and cleanliness of the room is good. It would be perfect if there was an electric fan in the room during the summer time.

Awesome setting and very clean and quiet Bed was very small and the shower while clean and functional was small enough that the curtain sticks to you Tbh it’s hall’s so wasn’t expecting too much The lack of any working coffee machine however was not something I was over the moon about I’d stay here again if I couldn’t find somewhere better

Very convenient for Exeter graduation ceremony being 7 min walking distance from the Hall and having car park 🅿️. Rooms are small but practical and clean. Breakfast is basic but fast. Note coffee machine breaks regularly and needs fixing, which takes times. There is nothing you can do about screaming seagulls, who apparently never sleep. 🙉 There is an amazing view and seating area next to receiption. We made perfect family photos for our lasting memories!
