Lovely old hotel in the city centre with free on-site secure car parking. We were upgraded to a suite which was fabulous in all respects. We ate out both nights so didn't sample dinner but breakfasts were OK. Nice atmosphere and decent value, we'll stay again when in the area. More

Housed in a 200 year old building this hotel has old English charm. As with most old hotels there is a maze of stairs and corridors. The rooms are traditionally decorated and there are a number of function rooms in the hotel. The inner court yard/garden allows for outside seating when the weather is OK. I have paid £ 65,-... More

St Olaves is hidden away , but when you do find this jewel, you are in for a treat. I booked ny daughters wedding here for St Patricks Day. From first meeting Simon, right the way to the "big day" , we could not have asked for more. All the staff were polite , coorteous, making everyone feel valued. Our... More

Usually use the Southgate or the Thistle in Exeter for my wife's birthday. This year tried this hotel. we were not disappointed. Friendly and helpful staff do the hotel credit. We were given room 1 a lovely suite and together with the breakfast great value. Parking is not really a problem and the walled garden is delightful although i bet... More

Our second visit to St Olaves Court and we were not disappointed. Rooms had been freshly re-decorated and everthing was very clean. Nice toiletries in the bathroom and good shower. Food was beautifully presented and delicious. Staff were attentive, friendly and polite. We would definitely return. Very close to centre of town for nightlife and shops but nicely tucked away...

Stayed here in November last year. Had originally booked the City Gate, just around the corner from St Olaves, but they subsequently contacted me with some cock and bull story about dodgy electrics in the room they had allocated (double-booked!), and to tell me that they had "transferred" me to St Olaves; apparently, there is a degree of "mutual lack...

I attended a presentation evening at this hotel which was a very pleasant experience. The staff were there but not there, if you know what I mean and kept everything flowing very well - the room was well arranged and the buffet was extremely good - the best smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches ever! Car parking a bit limited... More

Situated very close to the centre of the city, the hotel is very convenient, for non-drivers and drivers alike. But management does need to smarten up its act a bit. The rather grubby carpet in my bedroom should have been properly cleaned (what looked like spray marks from opening a can of drink, plus extensive black marks as if someone... More
