Pros:

Emplacement près du centre, chambre simple mais confortable, personnel accueillant, très bon restaurant. Très beau bâtiment pour le pub et le restau.

Cons:

Salle de bain vieillotte (et bruyante), système de douche capricieux, rideaux sans obscura. Café bof le matin, dommage car sinon le petit déjeuner est delicieux

A perfectly fine place to stay.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Their car park was run by another entity, who charged £10. But I preferred that convenience rather than search for a parking spot elsewhere

Cons:

Just a little niggle. I like to stay in accomodation with an attached bar. I left friends early in town so I could finish with a nightcap in at my accomodation. It never occured to me that they would close the bar at 10.30 , or that I couldn't be served as a guest. Perhaps they could advertise their opening times more prominently

Great stay. Lovely people. Great location for cathedral area.
Pros:

Brilliant reception lady. So pleasant, knowledgable and kind. Special breakfast menu - smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Was perfect. A credit to the chef.
Also cereals, croissants, full cooked, berries/yoghurt, toast and jams.
I requested tea in a teapot, no probs. Was v grateful.
Lift worked.
Room great. Everything I needed, nice clean carpet.
Nice toiletries, good linen and towels.

Cons:

Shower temperature was a little disconcerting at first, variable. But actually pleasant once I'd figured it out.
Something quirky, not a dislike..

Lovely city, lovely hotel,food good in hotel I would recommend it
Pros:

White Hart is very well located to city
centre with just a 2 to 3 hundred meters uphill walk and you are there

Cons:

All good but as with so many hotels staff trying to do multiple jobs so expect to find reception unnamed.

Carpark charging was a bit of a b…s up
no charge on invoice so told reception and was told not to worry about it, then spoke to another member of team Nigel
who seem to now what he was doing and he applied charges to prevent me getting a fine as I believe it’s counsel run.

Good food at this lovely old Hotel in the city centre
Pros:

A visit to the haunted hotel which is the White Heart for some munch. Impressed, really good food all round, no long waits, and a very nice place to sit and eat. Maybe could have done with a few more chips with the fish but very well cooked and hit the spot. Not sure why sauces are served in little ramekins either would just prefer the bottle at the table! A solid 8/10. Also if you are thinking of going go on to their website for a discount code they are offering 40% off all mains until the 10th May 2026, all day every day (not bank hols weekend)

Un loc frumos, primitor, in centrul Exeterului! Să încercați mâncarea de la Babylon!
Pros:

Amabilitatea angajaților, camerele spațioase, locația foarte bună.

Cons:

Geamurile sunt subțiri, mai intră frigul și se aude gălăgia de afara.
