voco ZEAL EXETER SCIENCE PARK

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean, bed extremely comfortable, fluffy pillows and soft duvet. Plenty of tea/coffee. Great variety of food for breakfast. Plenty of parking. Calming atmosphere and extremely quiet. Bright, welcoming and relaxing.

Lovely visuals when we entered. Check in was a little ‘listen to me and all about the sustainability etc” I commented that we booked due to the location to the airport but were surprised we could not get a bust there. I was told they are the closest hotel to the Airport - again no good if there is no but. A 5 minute journey in a can was £25 thus making the proximity of no benefit. The bed was really comfy so we hope for a good nights sleep but room was absolutely boiling. Had to sleep with curtains open so we could gain some small relief from the one window that opened with a sort of grate behind it. Main window did not open. Pillows were super high and woke up with a stiff neck As we were the furthest room it was quite a hike to get water or tea and coffee as none of these facilities in the room Would I recommend - no Would I stay again - no

Now I must be honest and stay in picked this hotel due to location for a work trip, not because of its eco selling points which are somewhat lost on me. The bed and bedding are some of the comfiest I've ever experienced, coming from someone who stays in hotels weekly! Room was spotless and comfy, likely because it is all still new, intrigued to visit again in a few months and see if it is still as aesthetically pleasing. Shower great and really soft, fluffy towels. Why have I given 4 stars.... The coffee station set up, I am an early riser (530am) and the first thing I want is a brew, so my options are to get fully dressed to go out and make 20 steps to make a drink or risk going in my pjs and scaring all the other guests. I get why they have this set up but for me it just made me uncomfortable. The check in process isn't quick, lots of verbal instructions from the receptionist, when you've driven 5 hours to get here I sort of just wanted to crash and chill. Finally the parking charge, im travelling for work so the cost is covered but I wouldn't pay £15 to park here.... I checked in at 7pm and will be gone by 8am, £15 for 13 hours is OTT. Would i stay again, yes but bring a thermos to make a cup of tea before going to bed 🤣

What a refreshing change to hotel accommodation! Amazing that this hotel takes responsibility for it's carbon footprint. Inside is light, airy and full of plants which makes the whole environment feel healthier. The room was very comfortable and food remarkably good. Some great sustainability innovation here that other hotels could learn from. Would definitely recommend.

Fully recommend a stay at this hotel staff are friendly and helpful especially the receptionist a good location for a trip to the beach and to get into the city centre it has a lovely outside area and plenty of parking. Lots of choice for breakfast and the staff are helpful and friendly.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough! We stayed for 2 nights and it was fantastic! The hotel staff were absolutely amazing and so friendly. They often went above what was asked for. The hotel itself is beautiful and loved it being net zero. The food was absolutely delicious, there was so much choice for breakfast and all freshly made. An overall amazing stay. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
