It's a nice enough hotel, close to the centre and either train station. There were several nice touches in the room, including a cafetiere. Nice big breakfast, served with a smile.

Comfortable stay. Clean rooms. Cooked breakfast was tasty. Toilet seat was a bit dodgy - could do with fixing. Also would recommend upgrading the quality of the bed linen. Otherwise, quiet and comfortable.

It was good value for money. The room was a little “cell” like and the small wall mounted tv was partly obscured by the tall boy cupboard. But it was very clean, the staff were attentive and efficient.

We liked the fact it was quirky. Different in a really good way. The decor charming. The attention to eco ideas (recycling etc). We were delighted that the triple room was a double bedroom with the single in a small adjacent room. As we were travelling with an older family member whom we didn't want to sleep alone was an amaxing compromise. Sadly our stay was brief coming into Exeter by train late and moving on by plane early. The staff we met and the food we received were all excellent. Thank you.

Perfect stay
We were delighted with our stay. The room was a great size with a comfy bed, storage and a sink (we booked a shared bathroom room). The shared bathroom was right next to the room and it felt like we had it to ourselves the whole weekend as we never had to wait. The breakfast was amazing, freshly cooked to order and happy with any changes you might want to make. Great location about a 5-10 minute walk away from the centre of Exeter. We couldn’t fault our stay and will definitely be staying again.

I fell in love with the Telestar Hotel! It is a sweet little B&B with an Alice in Wonderland theme focusing on the white rabbit. My room was small, but very comfortable. The breakfasts offered by this hotel set the gold standard for what I now will measure all other breakfasts against. The staff were kind and helpful. When I go back to Exeter, I will try to stay at the Telestar again. The only thing missing from the hotel was a Cheshire cat!
