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!

This Bed and Breakfast Guesthouse is clean, pleasant and well located. The Staff are super helpful at reception and when serving breakfast. The breakfast is great, nothing is too much trouble. We arrived late, 11.30pm, but were given clear and functioning instructions for the key-safe, which gave us access to both the front door and the room. It's a bit of a warren so more instructions finding the room would be helpful but not essential. The car park is described as quirky. Spaces are limited but you leave your keys at reception and the staff move cars around as and when needed, so bring a spare key is my advise. The Telstar suited our purpose of a short stay, 2 nights, perfectly. Any problems? Maybe me but i don't remember being told that the bathroom/tolet was not en suite but shared.

Lovely stay for just one night, for myself and my dog. Very welcoming hosts, very helpful and friendly. Room was exactly what I expected. I only stayed to sleep and great value for money. Breakfast was amazing! Even Floss the dog got her very own breakfast. Very much enjoyed my stay and would stay again. Bathroom clean, hot good shower. Easy check in and out, Parking was simple.

Great stay

The room was lovely. The shared bathroom was very nice and not shared with many rooms so no problems getting my shower at the times I wanted. Really charming building and decoration. It was very comfortable and the breakfast was really good. So convenient for St David's station and also close to the city centre.

Utterly charming

I really loved this place! It's full of character, very welcoming, utterly charming. I was surprised to receive a full English breakfast, and was impressed that they are fully prepared to offer gluten-free options! My room was small, but it's exactly what I booked, and everything worked. I even had a little balcony! And I had a lovely hour sitting out in the little courtyard with a Devon cider (which the hotel sells), reading and listening to the tinkling water in the little fountain. I'd come to Exeter again just to stay here!!!
