Nice hotel with views of the estuary. Fairly quiet given its central location. With-in walking distance of the train station. I had a comfortable and clean room. Pleasant and helpful staff. Wifi was available in the lounge but not my room. There's a decent breakfast for those who want it. Happy to stay there again.

We stayed here for a night on a room only basis. Check in was simple, parking wasn’t an issue but I did have to park in the long stay down near the sea front. Our room was a basic double on the 3rd floor. Turns out we had a sea view which was nice. The room was ok, bathroom very dated but functional. We would stay again.

Friendly stay with s sea view

Our stay started off with a bit of a hiccup, with our room not being ready but the staff were very accommodating and we ended up getting an upgrade with a sea view, this made our stay even better. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Value for money - try and book parking in advance!

Staff very friendly and helpful. One member of staff working when I arrived, working reception and the bar! Bar not overly well stocked. Unable to park anywhere near the hotel had a ten min walk from where I parked. Room on the nicer end of basic, but good value for the price. Hotel in general is nice , great location, needs a lick of paint and some new carpets in places. I would stay again 👍

Adequate breakfast. Comfortable bed. Good view of the coastline. Staff very over worked, some working 16 hour days, others had not taken their days off for 3 weeks. Some improvement seems to have been made cosmetically, but needs much more. Unlikely to happen as the hotel appears to be for sale.

This was our second stay with the Royal Beacon Exmouth. We are already planning our next stay. The staff are all so lovely passionate and hardworking, you can feel the effort they put into the hotel to make your stay comfortable and welcoming. We made special requests and the hotel was more than accommodating. A special shout out to Emily and Liam we love you guys and hope to see you again soon.

Very tired property and the room was unbearably hot even with the tiny fan going the whole time. The shower is scalding hot or cool - no in between. Apparently our carpet had been replaced only two weeks ago but the room smelt of dog wee/stale odours. The bathroom needs regrouting. The first impression isn’t great as you enter - a big hole in the wall where someone has maybe kicked it or punched it or something. Very odd that it hasn’t been fixed. Staff are lovely though. That’s one positive. But definitely won’t be back purely based on the tiny room and the need for a refurbishment and relatively expensive for what you get. Sorry.

Disgusting bathroom

I just wish there was a bit more pride taken in hygiene standards. Ultimately, this comes down to management — if the managers don’t set even the most basic levels, the cleaners will naturally cut corners. The room itself was not clean. The walls had random dents and visible damage, while the shower area was covered in mould and dust had gathered everywhere. A basic bottle of bleach costs less than £1, so there’s really no excuse not to maintain the bathroom properly. On a positive note, the reception staff were very friendly and welcoming.
