As your Wiki link describes the Pauli Exclusion principle applies to all Fermions (spin 1/2 particles) and thus applies to Neutrons.
To get a sense of what a Neutron Star is like, the best example I know is a Sci Fi novel Dragon's Egg by Dr. Robert L. Forward. At first this may seem off topic, just hear me out. The novel is about creature that live on the Neutron Star. Dr. Forward is very descriptive about how a body of mass would behave on the surface of such an object.
