“The Telstar provided good overall value for money but a poor nights sleep.”
+The Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good. Check in was very simple, and the room was a good size. The location was close to the main train station which was convenient. The bathroom was also good, and very clean.
−The property was very noisy, especially at night. The wind rattled the windows, and there was sounds of neighbours and hoovers going through the night. The beds were not the comfiest either, so sleeping was very difficult. The room was too hot, and hard to air properly. The shower pressure was also bad.

“Very glad I stayed there. Could do it again!”
+Breakfast was excellent! Location was perfect
−Room was a little cold in the evenings. Radiator didn't seem to make much difference The food menu: such tiny print it was illegible, even with reading glasses

+What a great breakfast. Perfect for starting your day. Our room was through the Hotel courtyard, out the back of the property and around the back (Unit 22). A little quirky, but so quiet with our own little courtyard. Lots of room, with three bed options. Nice shower and tea set. Great to be on the ground floor and able to walk out the back and see the stars at night. The location was very convenient and we were able to walk easily to everywhere.
−Can't say as we were lacking anything and truly enjoyed our stay there.

“Do not stay here.”
+The location is good - 5 min walk from the train station. The breakfast staff were polite and prompt.
−It seems incredible that a hotel providing somewhere to sleep can get it so wrong. My room was a disgrace - like a staff cabin on a cross channel ferry - tiny and box like. The worst thing was the car park light blasting in my room all night and as the bed faces the window, the light blasts right on your face. The blind was translucent and was too small for the window. How can a hotel get the fundamental art of offering a good sleep, so wrong? Do not believe the photos they have used to advertise the hotel - they're not images of this hotel.

“Welcoming place in a good location for Exeter”
+Great location, very warm and friendly welcome. This is a large house converted into more a B&B than a hotel, so it has all thar is good and not so good in a B&B. My single room was very clean but also very small; I would not say it was worth the sum I paid. Wifi is very good. I can't comment on breakfast because I had to leave earlier then planned - it is all self service.
−Size of room, self service breakfast.
