I had one of their small budget rooms so small room, shared bathroom, basic shower (although hot enough) and a ridiculously small tv (laptop size - difficult to see from the bed - seriously! - argos sells loads of 32 inch tvs for under £150 or even a 24 inch at less than £120!) That said the room was clean, nicely done, the landlady was excellent and the location between a great weatherspoons, the station and the town was superb - in Exeter I can't see you getting better at the price

The reviews that I read prior to booking were spot on. Oakcliffe is a 6-minute walk from the Exeter St Davids train station. The hotel is on St Davids Hill Rd, so yes, there is a wee bit of a climb. Loraine & Bill were very welcoming; they made me feel right at home. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There's a sink with soap, mirror and towel. There are hooks on the wall and door tor hang clothes. There's a pot to heat water for coffee or tea. There's also a desk. The toilet is one floor above ground level. Breakfast is served in the lovely living room where you meet other guests. I met some very nice people. The hotel is very near town center. Lots of history. Buses ran everywhere I needed to go. I was able to visit Ottery St Mary and Tipton St John by bus. There are two train stations, the aforementioned Exeter St Davids and Exeter Central.

I can't think of anything negative to say. The weather for the most part was great. There were some very light showers throughout the entire week I was there.

The service I received was excellent. Lorraine, the lady who I presume manages the premises, communicated with me from the time I booked in a courteous and friendly manner. When I arrived, she couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.

Nothing. I really like the location, the property and the service I received. The room was small but very clean and had enough light, USB plus in the sockets and a washbasin. The bed was also very comfortable,

The Landlady Lorraine she was friendly my room even though it was on the Top floor was comfortable I do have trouble climbing stairs you see

First morning breakfast I had which two items I didn't like sausage which was soft& sloppy didn't taste nice and Hash brown which should have been crunchy but was soft& squiggy So the 2nd morning did ask for the Hash brown and the sausage to be replaced with and extra slice of bacon and extra firm fried egg which was supplied and was better

Very close to St David's station. A very clean and tidy guest-house. Booked a single room and despite its rather small size it had one of the most comfortable hotel bed I ever slept on. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they offer a good breakfast. It will seem a bit compact at first glance, but it wasn't an issue at all for someone on a short visit to the city. I've also seen other rooms and they have a wide variety that can match the needs for all sort of travelers, so try to contact them to know exactly what type of room you would prefer to book as the room layouts differ A LOT. Would definately recommend as a value-for-money choice.

Short and early window for breakfast. The room was a bit cold for me as they only turned on the radiator on certain short hours during the day so it made it hard to stay comfortable in the room without wearing a winter jacket at all times, but the bed covers are thick and warm so wasn't that big of an issue during the night. Also be aware that since it is an older house there will be a decent stairs climb since all rooms are on the first and second floor in case someone has a mobility issues but shouldn't be a problem for the avarage traveler.

The room was cosy and comfy, and it although the bathroom/toilet was shared, there was still a sink in the room which was nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful and everything was very clean.

I didn't realise that the parking was limited to 3-4 cars, but I may have missed this information. Thankfully Train Station parking was only a 5 minute walk away, but it does cost £12 a day.

Very friendly family hotel, feels like visiting relatives. Great breakfast, great location, perfect for a weekend away or holiday, definitely recommend.

It can be a bit noisy but this was due to the people in the room next door being too loud, even though there is a sign asking people to keep it quiet during the night. The only thing I would suggest is to have more power sockets to recharge devices (bring a long cable).

The hotel was small and cozy, the room was clean and had everything that was promised. The owner was super lovely and very helpful with all the questions and requests we had. The location of Oakcliffe Hotel is perfect for anyone arriving to or leaving from Exeter St David's station, and just 15mins on foot from the city centre. Definitely good value for the price offered, and a nice place to stay in Exeter!

It's very nice that the hotel offers cooked breakfast, just the food quality could have been a bit better.

The hotel was exceptional, and run by the loveliest lady! She made us feel so welcome and comfortable, and the breakfast was exceptional (my partner had the full English, I had the veggie English - both were amazing). Fantastic location, so close to the city centre and the lovely Imperial pub.

Honestly nothing, we would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a night or two in Exeter!

Oakcliffe wasa wonderful place to stay while we stopped over in Exeter. The locations was very close to the train station and to downtown. The room was comfortable and clean. Best of all, Lorraine, our host, was absolutely delightful! She was truly wonderful and extremely helpful. Breakfast was also delicious. Overall, a great place to stay, we would definitely stay again.
