Very nice place used a few times now. Older place, well maintained. Staff very helpful and friendly...

You must be aware that some of the rooms are over the house night club, which does stay open most of the night. They have quiter rooms on the back and upper floors if you are more family orientated. Or it is great if you want to party until the early hours..... This is not really a dislike, just a heads up.

The 1812 bar was excellent with well trained and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent. The room was very comfortable and clean

The bar so nightclub attached to the hotel is extremely loud at the weekend. I know they tell you this before you arrive so I can't really moan but it's like you're in the bar it's that loud!!! Also, they only let young people in so it's not as if you can enter Bar So and enjoy it if you are of a mire mature vintage!!!

Great location opposite the BIC & easy walking distance from beach and town centre , good secure car parking , for those looking for entertainment this is the place , two great bars ,the 1812 is superbly decorated , a wonderful social meeting place with regular live music , The SO Bar is a great late night "Disco" bar , wonderfully decorated and, by all accounts great music .. I didn`t venture there I`m afraid ..too old nowadays , but the 1812 is fabulous !!!

Be aware , some rooms may not be quite at night , but to be fair , the hotel do state this, but if you are in Bournemouth for an entertaining break , this will be the place for you !

The central location was brilliant. We could easily walk to the Pavilion theatre, the restaurants, the pier and the gardens. The car park fee was very reasonable. The interior of the Hotel was great as there was the very historic and traditional staircase which reminded us of being in an old National Trust house but the modern bar area and large seating areas that became the 1812 nightclub on the Saturday night was fantastic. The band and the disco were great. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great. The bedroom with ensuite was very large, clean and comfortable. We'll definitely stay there again.

Hard to think of something.

Steeped in so much History a beautiful Grade II listed building with a very sympathetic refurb, very tidy and clean throughout. From the moment you arrive at reception you know your stay is going to be enjoyable. The staff are a credit to a great management and ownership team. The onsite Sushi and Tapas bar captained by Cheryl Tio winner of the 2019 MasterChef Professionals is wonderful. The rooms are well decorated and very clean. Bar 1812 has a lively vibe and is staffed with friendly knowledgeable people. Now to the crunch BREKKIE was amazing all great produce and perfect poached eggs the chef even came out to explain to a Vegan couple what he could cook them and how (above and beyond in my eyes). I would highly recommend The Royal Exeter Hotel to anyone who would listen to me...

The one and only thing is the hidden £8 parking fee that you are not told about until check in, it wasn't a problem as you have gated secure parking however I do believe it is something you should be aware of at booking...

Near the beach

Decor rather dated

Perfect location

Slight noise of music early hrs

I stayed here in August and decided to choose this hotel again as we ended it the last time. I liked the location as it is perfect and everywhere I wanted to go was not far. The staff and the manger was really polite and helpful. The beds were very cosy and the space was good.

The room was very cool even though the heating was on. The manager was very helpful and gave us two heaters to put in the room. It did take a while to heat up but when it did it was very cosy. The only thing that is missing is heating in the bathroom as it stayed freezing cold the whole weekend.

The reception is modern and stylish and check-in was easy and professional. The hotel has a modern and stylish bar which we visited which was comfortable and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and service spot on. Parking was a bonus but why is this an additional cost? Had a good nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. Perfect location for visiting BIC.

I had paid for an upgrade to an Executive Room which I felt needed its decor updating. Some furniture items were damaged, the interior door didn’t close properly, the bathroom although spacious was dated, some areas of decoration were damaged. And although advertised as a bonus of an upgrade we didn’t receive complimentary chocolates.

The room was spacious and clean, the staff were really helpful. Sabrina at reception was amazing helpful and kind. I loved that they had a sushi restaurant and a bar/lounge. I love the colour scheme. Breakfast was great and the pastries delicious, I think the options were enough, not over board with choice. My boys loved it and so did I, it was cosy. The location was perfect, we stayed an extra night! We will definitely be coming back 🙂

Parts of the room could do with fresh paint, it was very pricey for each night. I know hotels double the price for the holidays and I have seen the prices when school is in session and it is so much cheaper so I didn't like that. Other than that all was fine.
