The Turks Head0

Location is fabulous. Rooms are beautifully decorated. Lovely touches and lovely selection of complementary products to use. Some lovely homely attributes with eye masks and ear plugs. Quiet considering top floor room over looking the street. Staff really helpful. Great value. Perfectly located for all the main tourist attractions. Great experience. Luggage facilities are available with the staff if required

No Air conditioning. Though the rooms are finished to an exceptional standard it was very hot in room six on the top floor. Fans are provided but don’t really do much. The window only opens a few inches at the front. The back one is sealed so no through air flow which would help cool the place. No lift and a lot of stairs for luggage, but manageable.

An ale drinker's paradise, with a micro-brewery on site and a host of ales on tap, this city centre bar is a great social venue. But it is more than a bar; the accommodation is on a par with (and with superior staff to) many superior hotels - at a fraction of the price. It is situated on the main shopping street in Exeter, and quite literally 30 seconds walk to the historic cathedral or restaurants like The Ivy.

These are not criticisms, but a heads-up for anyone with disabilities or those looking for a quiet location: It is an old building and there are several flights of stairs with narrow space which would make it difficult for those with an inability to negotiate same. Additionally, it is a thriving city-centre bar, so do expect noise (athough the hosts have kindly thought to provide earplugs).

on arrival we where all impressed with the service and how friendly the staff were. the pub/bar it’s self was clean with a great atmosphere. all of the girls commented how when I’m the rooms you couldn’t hear the customers in the bar, you didn’t even realise you where above a busy pub. the separate entrance with your own key was a great touch. close to everything you need whilst staying in the city. very impressed. the decor was lovely and all in the group commented on how lovely it was and how spacious the rooms where. the beds where perfect, we had a great nights sleep. highly recommend staying there if visiting the city.

only thing I would say could be an issue was the amount of stairs you had to climb to get to the rooms, not an issue for us but could be a problem for someone with mobility issues

Central location and very nicely decorated room! Very convenient for shopping, eating and drinking. Comfortable bed with high quality tea and coffee available in the room. We arrived very early but the staff were very kind to let us drop our suitcases till later checkin.

Sadly there’s no lift/ elevator so it’s very hard to move heavy suitcases on stairs. Although there were ear plugs provided, it is very loud until 1-2am in the morning. If you’re very sensitive to noise or going to bed early, this is not a place for you.

Weds night - Comfy bed, friendly staff, good downstairs bar with lots of space, upstairs rooms good clientele. Brew their own beers which can be bought in 3rds for a top tasting treat. House red fine for partner. Breakfast not available during weekdays but Greggs two doors down. Room had all mod cons plus a coffee maker and dyson fan. What's not to like!!!

It's on the High Street so don't moan about the noise. Free earplugs which we didn't need.

Room was comfortable, bit small for friends but would be okay for couple. Was told it was a smaller room before booking so it was expected! exceptionally clean and appreciated the interior and amenities e.g coffee machine etc. also liked that we could let ourselves in/ out with ease at night. considering you are staying above a busy bar, it’s not too noisy!

price was quite high considering there is not breakfast but appreciate that it’s in the middle of a city! didn’t enjoy having to go into the bar to check in especially when it’s full of people drinking but understandable. we also stood at the bar for a good 5 minutes before somewhere asked if they could help us!

Excellent and comfortable room right in the heart of the City. Really friendly and welcoming staff and although they pointed out it was going to be noisy up to about 1:30am when the donwstairs bars closed it was not overly noisy. I would guess like others staying at this location I was out on the town until the early hours of the morning anyway. Great location also for the Phoenix Centre - a concert there got my night in Exeter under way - and also of course the Turks Head Bars just down the stairs from the room.

Nothing.

This is a very unique accomodation: it is truly an experience to discover a secret door from the pub leading to the rooms through a steep and narrow staircase. The room was quite big, but still very comfortably furnished. Room had everything that was necessary for a very good stay, and there was even a hand-written welcome note from the staff. All staff was throughout our visit very helpful and friendly. We arrived ca4 hours earlier than check in time and it was possible to leave our luggage during the day with them. Even though there was a pub and a quite busy street under the rooms, it was quiet at night and we could sleep very well. The location was exceptional, just in the city center and close to all sights.

Nothing, this has been one of the best accomodations we had - also from a value for money perspective. For someone with mobility issues, it is important to know, there is no lift - only a narrow staircase (which was not a problem at all for us)

Very friendly welcome on arrival, clean modern room and bathroom with a very comfortable bed in a great location and part of a real ale pub. There are nice little touches like a coffee maker and good quality tea and nice toiletries. I felt entirely comfortable as a lone traveller. It's not too far to walk from the station. Although it was a little noisy which may bother some I had no problems with this. It's what you expect in a central location and the up side is that you are staying at a great pub and can enjoy the vibe.

If it had been a warmer night I would have wanted better ventilation and maybe a fan or air conditioning.

Beautifully designed bedroom and shower room. Full of character. Staff were wonderful on check in and throughout stay. So friendly, helpful and efficient

It was the start of a heatwave and we were at the very top of the building so extremely hot. It was a double aspect room but only one sash window could be opened but only by about 4 inches. It was unbearably hot and the onky way to cool off was to have a cold shower and then lie naked on top of the duvet. Not expecting air con in a building of this age but in such hot temperatures a fan might have helped a bit!
