I stay in this hostel from time to time and recommend it to anyone travelling or requiring short-term accommodation in Devon. The Globe backpackers Exeter has been recently refurbished and is a warm friendly place to stay close to the city centre and its attractions. The staff are friendly and helpful and the owners have made a genuine effort to... More

Odd place. Well familiar with YHA hostels. This does not compare. Tiered, thin mattresses, stained and burnt, ThIn sheets and bedding and solid foam pillow. Cold and single light in dormitory left on all night. There residents more interested in night life. I was quite out of place for weekend exploring. Dormitories never locked so open to all. Checkout late... More

Cool and cheap place to stay. Great new showers/wet rooms, best I have seen in a backpackers. Good staff - the place just works well. Stayed in a 8 bed dorm, but it was a big room with comfy beds. facilities are all that you would want - I particularly like the fact they have a kitchen you can use... More

I think Globe Backpackers Exeter is one of the best i have stayed in for a long time. Iv'e been in hostels in Australia, England and America and this is defs one of the best. It's really clean everywhere, the beds are proper mattresses which i haven't slept on in other Hostels for a while. It has good colour in... More

Nice people, high disponibility, great bathrooms. Some problem with smells solved brilliantly, but the crow jewels were the showers! Nice lounge room with Wi-Fi free, high speed, all day long. Small kitchen, but really useful for those who stayed there for months. I never locked the room because it's really a safe place, I never saw a stranger being let... More

OK this is a hostel so you get what you pay for. The highlight of this place was the newly refurbished men's toilets and shower rooms. Tiled, wet room type showers were a pleasant surprise. As a mixed group we were offered bunk beds in a Men's dorm. They were basic - difficult to put covers on the matress on... More

Whilst staying at this site whilst waiting for permanant accomodation, we have found the staff very friendly and open to us. Nothing is a problem to them as they help us with our enquiries from time tables to directions and almost anything. There is a open kitchen to use as well as a tv lounge, the new showers are lovely,... More

Despite other reviews, this hostel is not hard to find. It is on the city wall walk just near the Quay, so very well situated in comparison to the other (2) hostels which are 20mins walk out of town. For convenience' sake, it's fine. It's large with a relatively clean kitchen, eating area/common room and tv room but feels crowded... More

I stayed here with a group of friends for 2 nights, in all fairness the rooms were nice, but the staff were extremely rude to us, As the comment below me has already said, I dont understand how ''customer service'' can be so bad! There were even notes taped on literally a couple of plates and a mug (we took... More
