We stay at St Olaves on a regular basis, great location for tourists, it is very friendly, verey good food, a lovely way to start the day with a good breakfast, the bigger rooms are the best, small car park and would recommend to anyone.

Driving into a quiet courtyard in the middle of a city revealed a quaint, quiet haven. Exquisite! Our room was quiet, had a bath and shower. Good tea and coffee facilities and a lovely surprise of biscuits. The bed was very comfortable. Would have liked a full length mirror but this was a minor issue. Had an iron and board... More

From the private courtyard parking, the friendly and helpful staff and the clean and pleasant room my friend and I throughly enjoyed our weekend stay at St Olaves. I would have no hesitation in recommending this charming hotel if you want to stay in Exeter City near to all of the shops and the cathedral. Our room (14), a en-suite... More

We were staying locally, and a friend who lives in the area recommended St Olaves Court for a meal - in his words - 'it is where I take the wife when I have been in the naughty book'. I can see why, they hotel itself is very quant and hidden behind a lovely courtyard, you would totally miss it... More

A very convenient location in the centre of Exeter. Very quiet despite being so close to the city centre. It was a struggle to get to the top floor up a narrow staircase with our luggage, however once we got to the top floor, our room was very nice. The bathroom was in need of a spruce up, wooden toilet... More

This hotel is right in the centre of Exeter, but feels more like a B&B than a hotel. There was a slightly damp smell in the hall in front of my room, and the bathroom blind had mould on it. I ordered runny boiled egg and soldiers (seems like an eccentric choice but it was on the menu!) - and... More

I have used this hotel as a meeting venue a number of times now and have always found it to be ideal. The staff are very helpful and pleasant, the food is great and the building itself is cosy, clean and intimate. It is hidden from easy view and noise, very close to the centre of Exeter. It has enough... More

Went to my sister's wedding in this beautiful georgian hotel at the beginning of February. A perfect day and a wonderful wedding venue. The hotel staff couldn't have been more helpful they pulled out all the stops to make everything just the way she wanted it. We had access the previous day to put flower arrangements in the wonderful medieval... More

Room smelt. Further examination revealed vomit on carpet. Room changed for a "superior" one, (what, single beds not a double) some apology but no discount given despite request. Yuk! Hotel OK otherwise, but felt this shocking lapse was treated in a very cavalier fashion.

My wife and I went there for her work Christmas dinner. The staff were polite and efficient but everything was let down by the incredibly terrible quality of the food. The salmon starter was mediocre but the turkey dinner was Bernard Matthews turkey roll, reheated burnt potatoes and nuked to death veg. Can't think of anything nice to say about... More
