Fodor's Expert Review Hotel du Vin
Magdalen St., Exeter, Devon, EX2 4HY, England
This former hospital has been reimagined as a modish hotel with a zippy, happening vibe and add-ons that include a heated indoor-outdoor pool, a fitness room, and spa treatments. Any residual institutional feel has been dispelled by the contemporary decor of the guest rooms, the walled garden, and a pavilion-like bistro-restaurant that offers a superb range of Mediterranean-style dishes. The location isn't auspicious (it's on the edge of the old town by an intersection), but it's only a few minutes' walk from the center.
PROS
- stylish and quirky design
- great food
- close to the city center
CONS
- cheaper rooms are small
- tiny gym and pool
- some bathrooms are open-plan
