Better than I expected, better than big chains, it's an old building, old world feel, excellent buffet style breakfast

We had a lovely stay at the Telstar! It’s a very cosy hotel, clean and well kept. Lovely helpful stay. It was our second stay here and we will definitely stay again when we’re in Exeter!

Our room was very tired with chipped furniture, dirty skirting boards, dodgy wiring with tiny bathroom towels which made it difficult to dry yourself! The ceiling looked as if there had been a leak (or damp).
The hotels floorboards in the dining room were filthy which didn't contribute to overall hygiene standards.
Our room (3) was stifling hot and as our bedroom window overlooked the kitchen, smells from the kitchen wafted into our room at 6am (not pleasant as smelt like old cooking oil!) so went out for breakfast.
We also smelt strong cannabis when we left the hotel early evening which had to be a staff member as no bedrooms were near the back entrance.
We booked for 2 nights but left after 1 as couldn't face another night sleeping there.
All in all a disaster and one I definitely wouldn't repeat!

Good location and nice owners who were extremely helpful with the tight car parking. Paid £130 for a very old bedroom. It was clean though and had okay sheets and towels. Place is extremely run down and needs a complete renovation particularly the common parts. Breakfast was a very poor buffet.
