Welcoming place
It was very good stay. My only complaint is that I would’ve liked to have been able to lock the door of my bedroom on the inside. But otherwise the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very good and the instructions were excellent.

Telstar terrific welcome.
The reception at the hotel was good, a nice man showed me to my room when I checked in. My room was clean and warm, perfect for the single traveller. With a small en-suite bathroom. The cooked breakfast was delicious, plenty of variety and pleasant staff: I enjoyed my stay, I thought it was good value for money, and if I stay in Exeter again, I’d definitely book to stay at the Telstar.
