Quiet and convenient - Rating 5/5
We only stayed one night but found it very convenient: it's less than 10 minutes away on foot from/to St Davids train station and also very close to the city centre. We had a room at the back which was very calm. The host is very friendly and the breakfast generous (full English breakfast with a veggie option or continental).

An great budget choice for a light traveler - Rating 4/5
Despite its small size, Oakcliffe is very tidey and squeeky clean hotel with one of the most comfortable beds I've ever experienced in a hotel. It is a bit small and compact, but for someone visiting the city for a short period it's a great choice to spend a a couple of nights while saving your money to spend elsewhere. They offer a good breakfast and the management is always there to answer the visitors inquiries. Would definately recommend.

Oakcliffe was everything it needed to be - Rating 5/5
I stayed here overnight after a very necessary attendance at a funeral in Exeter.This hotel was everything a hotel in these circumstances needed to be.Most importantly, albeit limited, there was car parking.Once parked, after arriving earlier, having allowed for the latest case scenario, I wasn't likely to be going out again exploring in the car ... having already done a long-haul drive.For me the intention was watch telly in bed and sleep.Shower room good, breakfast good, television in room good.I also liked the scenic view behind the hotel and wondered how far the drop is to the park and distant housing I could see.Stood by the higher wall, a good location to devour the remains of my "afterlife party food" and adjudicate what picture a photographer might capture, as indeed one passer-by did.Lorraine as front of house was excellent from arrival and hosting breakfast.Most importantly, when compared to some other locations I've stayed on business travel, good food and very clean rooms.I'll need to think of an excuse to visit again.Finally, I have to know where Bill obtained those fancy design Saturday trousers from.Definitely deserves a five star rating.

Nice &. Clean convenient location - Rating 5/5
Spent two nights in Exeter to see the Cathedral and the other architecture in the central core. Oakcliffe Hotel was conveniently located only 15 minute walk from the Cathedral, some on a pedestrian street. V and A museum not overly interesting unless you want to see stuffed critters and a small section on the local history. We stayed in room 5, the family room with double bed and two bunk beds, as other ensuite double rooms were booked. Was at the top of hotel and front of the building so did have street noise so we couldn’t leave our window open to keep it cool during the night. With window closed it greatly reduced the steeet noise. There are a couple of other double ensuite rooms at the back so will know that if we return. Lorraine provided a number of full breakfast options and one vegetarian one as well plus yogurt, cereals and toast. Tea and coffee and juices. Lorraine was very helpful in giving us directions and suggestions for eating. Unfortunate for me and Bill I gave him a gruff but I thought teasing greeting. It wasn’t taken as such. Only have one chance to make a first impression and I blew it. So sorry Bill. Would recommend this hotel highly. Thank Carol Shade, Calgary, Canada

Warm friendly welcome - Rating 5/5
A warm friendly welcome from this small but well formed hotel, the owner was very helpful, hotel lovely and clean, en-suite room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Bathroom was very good. The location of this hotel is perfect for the City centre (not too close to be noisy and not too far away to be walkable) with a variety of restaurants very close by. We had an evening meal at Wetherspoons which is just very short 5 min walk away. St Davids rail station is just around the corner. On site free parking is a real bonus. All in I would have to say an excellent value for money hotel. I would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending to our friends.

Surpassed all expectations - Rating 4/5
My room was warm and comfortable with a washbasin and TV.It appeared to have been quite recently decorated, as did the entire hotel.I enjoyed the breakfast which was generous with all the usual options and served very promptly in the light and airy front room.Four stars because it was very good value for money and my hostess could not have been more friendly and welcoming!Free parking within walking distance of the city centre was a worthwhile bonus!

My second visit in a week - Rating 5/5
Great breakfast, elegantly furnished room, friendly welcome, sensible covid protocols, nice little touches everywhere.Not much to add after my previous review, except that when travelling alone, I take smaller and cheaper hotel rooms, so some can be less hospitable.Not in this case, as the room was splendid.When I'm back with the wife, I'll get a larger en-suite room in this excellent hotel.

Great stay. I will return- Rating 5/5
If I'm travelling alone, I just tend tofind the cheapest room I can. Usually this means no en-suite facilities, but I'm fine with that. This means a huge variability in the quality of rooms I get.At the Oakliffe Hotel, every part of the experience was top-notch. Friendly, clean, comfortable, great breakfast, close to city centre and more. Genuinely can't think of anything that would have improved my stay.

Would definitely stay again - Rating 5/5
Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the oakcliffe. It’s ideal location (5 minute walk from the centre) made things very convenient as well as their free parking at the back. Lorraine was a lovely host and very attentive. She was even kind enough to let us keep our car parked up for a few hours extra after our stay to allow us to go into town before we left Exeter. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and the Oakcliffe is somewhere we will definitely be coming back to.

Convenient location, cheerful hostess, cosy room - Rating 4/5
My single room is clean and cosy and it looks out on St David's Hill which I like. As it's not an en-suite room, I share the WC and bathroom facilities with the guest next door.It worked very well for me as the facilities are literally next door to my room.The hostess was a cheerful, sociable and approachable. That's definitely a bonus.

Comfortable room and bed, proper mugs for your tea, and a friendly welcome plus perfect breakfast. The apparent lack of hot water to the hand basin was a bit disappointing, ditto the lack of a working socket for the bedside light! Would stay again, though.

A lovely stop-off point on our journey to Cornwall - Rating 4/5
We received a very warm welcome at the Oakcliffe Hotel. Our room was tastefully decorated, comfortable and quiet as it was situated at the back of the building away from the road. We opted for a breakfast pack as due to Covid cooked breakfast was not available. This was adequate for our needs but more suited to chocolate lovers which we are not! Nice to have fresh fruit included. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Liked · I booked my room on extremely short notice and didn't arrive till around 2000 however the welcome and reception I received where top notch. They even advised me where I could get something nice to eat. The room was really nice for the price extremely clean and modern with enough amenities. I had a shared bathroom which didn't bother me but ensuites are available. The bed was very comfy not too hard and but too soft and the pillows spot on. My stay came with breakfast included, there's a buffet style cold breakfast of yogurts cereal etc and cooked breakfast of your choice. I had poached eggs on toast with mushrooms and they were perfect, I'm not just saying that Delia herself would have a run for her money. All in all a wonderful overnight stay and bang in the city centre too

We needed an inexpensive couple of rooms within easy reach of the town centre and it ticked all theboxes.Liked · I stayed here with my son who had a business meeting in Exeter the following morning. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. My son said he ‘slept like a baby’. Unfortunately we didn’t have time for breakfast so can’t comment. We were allowed to leave the car the following morning and it was an easy less than 10 minutes into the town, which was helpful.
