Stunning views and great location
Reception team very friendly and helpful, breakfast was a wide variety and staff again very pleasant
My only qualm is that the hotel list as swimming pool with no note or asteroid of extra charges. It cost £7.50 for me and my son to swim.

A first for me
You get what you pay for but no complaints at all. The staff we came across were friendly and helpful. Our room was basic and clean but had what we needed. Breakfast is self service . Good choice and great views across the valley. It’s a good 10 minutes walk from the train station, all up hill so a taxi may be needed if you mobility is not too good.

Holland Hall very good value.
The rooms we had were a big step above the student rooms we had back in the 1980's although they could benefit from better ventilation in hot weather. The fact they had ensuite facilities and lifts helped greatly. The breakfast was very good indeed and the staff very professional and friendly.

It took 40 years but I finally made it to university!😂
The room was a standard dorm room with basic facilities. And a wonderful view from the 13th floor. And as it was after the end of the term it was very quiet and empty.
All you can eat breakfast included, so a great start to the day.

Carpet disgusting
Good points first: bed comfortable
Good breakfast
Shower hot
But the reason this gets such a low rating is the carpet absolutely stank. I saw it was new carpet in the hallways but the room carpets desperately need replacing. I tried dousing it with body spray to no avail, but it really marred my stay. I feel for the poor student that gets this hall in term time.

Aged and not great!
The room was far smaller than appeared in the picture, halls are dated, bathroom is not well aired and not stocked even with a bathmat. Woodwork is peeling and room is stuffy, bed is small for 2 people and parking is unnecessarily far away when campus is empty. Breakfast staff and unfriendly and militant. Won’t be using services again and this is a shame as was really looking forward to experiencing campus and being so central.

Basic but nice
So staff are really friendly and polite and super helpful.
We did have some spiders n cobwebs up in the corners and a questionalble stain on one wall which i removed with a wet wipe.
Towels and toilet roll is plentiful and there seems to be lots of parking too.
Nice social areas
Fabulous breakfast options too.
Easy walk downhill to the town and pubs but you'll want an uber for back up its one heck of a climb 347ft to be accurate!
Id stay again as it was a really comfy bed too.
Some signs of wear on the bathroom door and wardrobe but she was built back in the early 00s so shes doing alright as buildings go.

Good rooms, beautiful location at the university campus. A rather poor breakfast service with nearly only fried food available. Difficulties with obtaining an institutional invoice, hopefully to be solved by mail.

Great value and well situated for the Uni
Great value and perfect because I needed accommodation while taking a 2 day course on campus. Rooms are fairly basic and not roomy - fine for a couple of nights, but just a bed, shower room and desk, and without much space. Breakfast was fine but again, nothing fancy - self service bacon, eggs, cereal.
The reception staff were all really kind and helpful - sympathetic when I arrived hot and flustered, helpful with questions about parking and the campus. A kind helpful attitude counts for a LOT.
I would definitely stay again for the price and convenience, but I wouldn't treat it as a holiday base due to the lack of space.

Remember that it's student accommodation. The rooms are a good size and well finished. There is a gym and a pool on the campus, but it is necessary to drive into town for restaurants. This place is perfect for a quick one-night stay.

The location is beautiful and very handy from Exeter St Davids station. It is a steep uphill walk from there, but I enjoyed it. My room was clean and functional as advertied. The breakfast was excellent with a huge variety if options.
