I stayed there two nights my room was downstairs next to the front door which initially bothered me but after seven o'clock all was quiet. The bathroom was very clean in excellent condition which was reflected in the standard of the room. The staff were approachable and the service at breakfast was quick. I wasn't too keen on the full... More

The Bendene is an older hotel conveniently located near the city centre. The rooms are small but clean, but there is a full bathroom ensuite. The room was provided with kettle and tea bags, The staff was friendly but there is no guest phone which meant a number of trips up the street to contact friends we were meeting. There... More

This is a 4 star GUEST House, not hotel, I had not noticed this when I booked. The decor is dated and lacking in style and character. My twin room had no desk or table so no where to work, it had 1 wicker arm chair,(not very comfortable) and a small tv high up on the wall so you got... More

Clean B&B with comfy bed and plenty of hot water. Good breakfasts although a 8.45am cut off for breakfast is a bit early for those not on a business stay. Beware room 5 at top of the house if you are tall as the bed is under fairly low eaves - otherwise the room is fine. The Bendene has the... More

Outdated decor and very small rooms means this really isn't a four star hotel. Friendly staff and good location though. Stay if you must but not out of choice! There are better in town, I'm certain of that.

Quite a nice place and the one (only!) member of staff I met was very pleasant and friendly. However I was quite shocked at the standard of decor in the bedroom, in a hotel which is listed as four star. It's the first time in about 25 years that I've slept in a bed with no duvet, just tired old... More

On the whole the b&b is ok...as long as you are not stuck on the very top floor as we were - lots of flights of steep narrow stairs, two floors from the communal bathroom. the room was mid-renovation so there were exposed wires and decoration issues (and a sink that once you had put in the plug couldn't get...

I've spent six nights here over the last two weeks and wholly recommend it. It ticked my boxes: Crisp, clean bedding. Powerful showers. Fresh coffee in the rooms! Very central location. Polite, friendly staff. Decent breakfast. I was in Exeter to work, so needed good nights of sleep, a desk to work at and peace to work in. No complaints... More
