The best thing about the Telstar is that all the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Parking is interesting - but it works well - and the breakfast is excellent! Second stay here, and we will be back.

Would be happy to return

The room was simple but clean with a view across the Exe valley. I liked that the heating stayed on until late evening, the hot water was reliable and the shower did not fluctuate between hot and cold. Also, the proprietors were generous and flexible with breakfast. The hotel is close to Exeter's two principal railway stations and about 15 mins walk from the town centre. Minor complaints - some of the lightbulbs were too dim and the toilet seat shifted around.

Lovely lovely people, solid breakfast. It’s not the most modern hotel but I like that, feels real and honest. Parking is useful and 10 mins walk from city centre. My second time visiting and will be back

Really helpful staff - go out of the way to make sure that everything is as you would wish. Great breakfast, good wi-fi, on-site parking was provided, room fairly typical of city small hotels/guest houses but perfect for our needs. All in all excellent!

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The owners and staff were amazing and did everything they could to make ones stay perfect. The food was delicious and well presented, plus special diets were all covered. All jolly friendly and attentive. Love the quirky decorations. It was so good there that I am thinking of booking my whole family in next year for our annual get-together. Only one other comment - your cleaner needs to be more thorough. I was in the single room (16?) and some areas were extremely dusty, like the top of the wall light for instance. I left a full feed-back sheet in the room and I hope the cleaner handed it in and didn't tear it up because of what she might have read! Maybe it willl give her a nudge in the right direction! A big thank you to Telstar - i have already recommended you to friends who visit Exeter every year.
