Holiday Inn Express Exeter East, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Exeter

The contemporary Holiday Inn Express Exeter East offers great value accommodation with inclusive breakfast and free WiFi, all in a convenient location to explore the beautiful countryside of Devon.

The staff very nice and welcoming. Great hotel has a carpark. The breakfast wasn't hot, hot, hot by the time you seat down to eat, but it was nice. The restaurant near by was good to have, as we came back late and thought, lets check it out so we didn't have to go back into town for dinner. The Hotel is close to the motorway so easy get away when checked out.

FAQs about hotels in Exeter









A Host of History

Set around the Exe River, affluent Exeter has played a part in English history from the Roman era to William the Conqueror to the Spanish Armada. Its most impressive structure is the cathedral, begun in the 11th century and boasting the longest stone roof in England.

The surrounding green is a popular picnic spot, and the half-timbered buildings and red-brick façades of the neighbouring High Street house a host of shops. Even more are in the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping centres.

The Guildhall itself is considered England’s oldest municipal building still in use, while nearby Parliament Street is one of the world’s narrowest streets. The remains of 11th-century St Nicholas Priory are now a museum, and there are more red-stone ruins at hilltop Exeter Castle (or Rougemont Castle), built into the Roman walls.

Exeter Central Station is behind the castle, while St Davids Station is nearer the university. The large student population means that the city has good nightlife, and some bars are located by the Quayside, site of Custom House. The river flows past Topsham and Powderham Castle to enter the sea at Exmouth.

To the east are Exeter Airport and the Westpoint Arena exhibition centre, both easily reached from Booking.com’s hotels with spas, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

    Exeter quay is vibrant, attractive and a lovely area to visit. We walked along the canal whilst others paddled to a lovely pub called double locks. Lunch was excellent at the pub. Evening at local gin distillery- quayside gins which again was excellent. Only stayed one night but would highly recommend.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city. Lots of interesting places, especially round the Quay area, and many classy shops and cafes. Its also within easy reach of Topsham, which is very quaint, and had lovely cafes and bars. The Firehouse is an excellent trendy eating place there. We just walked into Exeter, but it has plenty of parking places. We also visited Dawlish, another quaint town, with a great pie shop. Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton are also interesting. Our grandchildren loved the picturesque golf course at Exminster, and nearby Turf pub, which you can drive or cycle to, which is open only during the day, as parking is difficult, but its friendly, and serves good food. The Mill on the Exe is next to the property, and serves good food and has comfortable seating, and friendly staff. Also The Prospect Inn on the Quay has great food, and a buzz about it. There are several real ale places on the Quay in Exeter, and pizza vans nearby.

    Exeter is a medieval city with Roman remains, and although bombed during WWII it retains many unusual features. Like all uk provincial cities the economic climate has hit hard, however there is still lots to enjoy. Foodies will love STAGE a new restaurant in Magdalen Rd which is exceptional and I predict it will be incredibly successful. Exeter cathedral is wonderful.There’s also the beautiful river Exe that opens out to the Estuary town of Topsham, well worth a visit, the quay area in Exeter is interesting with many historical features. Exploring the area on foot and enjoying foodie venues off the beaten track is the secret to a fun visit.

    I am a bit biased because I grew up in Exeter but I was very pleasantly surprised by the new shopping centre with great restaurants and coffee houses yet preserving the history. There was definitely a buzz about the place.

    Went to visit a relative never been to Exeter before and only there for one day, much bigger than I thought it would be with lots of tourist and places to see. Will definitely go for longer next time. The high street had no closed shops and stores open that have been closed in other cities and a lovely John Lewis, lovely place to eat. Buses frequently and Taxis easy to locate if needed. Are at the Brew Dog . Nice burgers own brewed lagers for nice. The Quayside has lots of independent craft shops and places to eat and grab a coffee, would think a lovely place to visit in the summer. Will return

    Great hotel in excellent location for a visit to Exeter University. Room comfortable with a well stocked hospitality tray, best I've had in ages! Very quiet hotel,didn't hear a sound from the road which was a bonus. Really clean room and a very decent shower 🚿 👌. Restaurant food was excellent, we opted for the carvery. The breakfast was a buffet and was delicious, I would certainly reccomend this hotel if heading to Exeter or beyond.

    The hotel was small and cozy, the room was clean and had everything that was promised. The owner was super lovely and very helpful with all the questions and requests we had. The location of Oakcliffe Hotel is perfect for anyone arriving to or leaving from Exeter St David's station, and just 15mins on foot from the city centre. Definitely good value for the price offered, and a nice place to stay in Exeter!

    Very good continental breakfast, would have been better if there were boiled eggs, croissants, sliced cold meats, and cheese. That would make it 100% continental. Location good, outside city centre. Fresh looking bedroom decor. Lovely soft headboard. Was lucky with parking, space for 3 cars, we got in. Good shower. Room very clean, shower room spotless. Hostess very helpful with directions.
