It's clean & well equipped & well maintained set in nice green grounds with tennis court, etc.. Main reception building Lopes Hall is a nice old building dating back to 1870's ?? We stayed there as holidaymakers to Devon when they do summer let's when the students are on vacation. We've stayed in 5 universities in this way in Brighton, Cardiff, Aberystwyth, Bournemouth & here in Exeter, all varying standards & quite different with prices ranging from £19 - £32 per night but here in Exeter was the most expensive @ £55 a night & there was no cooking facilities in the practically empty kitchen with only a sink & a microwave, ironing board, iron & kettles, 1 table & 1 chair & recycling bins & mop bucket. Not even a bowl for the microwave, maybe because they might get stolen. No fridge freezer but small fridges in each en~suite bedroom. They had a few disabled accessible rooms too.

Plenty of power points and over bed lighting. There are no breakfast facilities. There was a small communal dining area and coin launderette on the ground floor next to where I was staying. Reception gives you a parking permit and you can drive your car next to the block you are staying in to unload and load your car, though the car parking is at the top of steep hill at the "top" of the Court. A great place to stay and as good as any guest house I...
Read moreWe stayed here the night before for my sister's graduation and paid 75 pounds for a basic room. It was advertised to graduands as the place for family and friends to stay. The toilet didn't work so we complained and they said they'd get it fixed. We returned from dinner to find nothing had been done and after complaining again were moved to another room in another block at 10pm. The paper thin walls meant every noise was heard overnight. Very substandard for the price and definitely...
