I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Du Vin Exeter, particularly for its unique historical charm and comfortable accommodations. However, I found the dining experience disappointing, with issues like poorly maintained menus and slow service during breakfast. On the plus side, the staff was generally friendly and responsive to my needs, making for a pleasant overall experience.

My room was spacious and had a super king bed, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. However, housekeeping oversight was a concern, as I initially found missing toiletries and coffee pods. These issues were quickly remedied, but they shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Hotel Du Vin is conveniently located in the city center, close to the cathedral and main shopping areas. This made it easy for me to explore Exeter and enjoy its attractions. The building itself, a converted eye hospital, added an interesting touch to my stay.

Unfortunately, the dining experience was below expectations. The Bistro du Vin felt outdated, from the stained menus to the lackluster food quality. The breakfast service was also slow, with some items running out too quickly, and I was disappointed by the small size of the complimentary birthday cake brought to our table.

The hotel's amenities, including the outdoor pool and cozy common areas, were lovely features that I enjoyed. However, the restaurant significantly detracted from the overall enjoyment during my stay, signaling a need for improvement.

I had an unexpected stay at Hotel Du Vin Exeter due to a booking mix-up, but I left feeling very pleased with my experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making me feel right at home despite the chaos of Freshers week in Exeter. My room was comfortable and quiet, though I did notice some amenities like a minibar were lacking. The dinner I enjoyed at the bistro was delicious and a fairly priced highlight of my visit.
