St Andrews Hotel

St Andrews Hotel is a family-run hotel at 28 Alphington Road, a 15-minute walk from Exeter Cathedral and the city centre. Free parking and wifi come with every stay, which is unusual for a hotel this close to the centre of Exeter.

Rooms are en suite with a shower, Freeview TV, hairdryer and a hospitality tray for tea and coffee, kept simple rather than styled as a boutique stay. Breakfast comes in one of two forms, a full English or a continental spread, served each morning in the dining room and included when booking directly with the hotel.

Exeter city centre, the quayside and Exeter Cathedral are all within that same 15-minute walk, making the hotel a workable base for a short city break without a car. The free car park removes the need to hunt for on-street permits, which run to zonal restrictions in the surrounding streets.

**Best for:** Family groups and city-break visitors who want a straightforward, no-frills hotel with parking a 15-minute walk from the cathedral.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting a spa or restaurant on site - dinner options mean walking into the city centre.
