Great location, close to promenade and within walking distance to town and main attractions.
Room was clean and warm, nice breakfast selection and friendly staff.
Enjoyable stay at the hotel. Pleasant room with walk-in shower in the ensuite. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast. Reasonably priced drinks from the bar. I wish I had been told I could pre-book parking at the hotel as it is very expensive to park on the street.
I appreciated the staff. Very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and was very tasty. The room was clean and had the amenities we needed. Clean. Hotel is within walking distance of many things to see in Plymouth. The history of the hotel is quite interesting.

The hotel location is great to Plymouth attractions. The staff were very nice and friendly and the services were nice except the shower which was very bad because of the weak water pressure.

My room was mostly ok but no air con and the fan provided in the room was faulty (only had one fan speed and would not oscilate).
Bathroom shower pressure was very poor, despite adjusting the nozzle so took a long time to shower.
Was clean enough, comfortable and breakfast in the morning was decent.
Excellent family run hotel close to Plymouth Hoe, local restaurants and amenities. Friends welcome and excellent breakfast.
Only negative was the £10.00 per night parking charge, which I raised with the reception on check-in. I later discovered street parking outside at £2.50 per night.
For the price that you pay, this hotel provides a good level of accomodation with a great breakfast and super staff. There is a lounge and bar. Brilliant location near the sea and easy to walk to Barbican. We will be back next year Ken !! This time with more volleyball players who are keen to stay

Room was in attic up 5 flights of stairs no lift last flight became narrow and steep with a sharp turn. Room floor was not level was slanted , room really dated and old. No plug sockets by bed, no lamp on one side.Bathroom facilities also old and tiles all stained. Did not even unpack as was so disappointed for the price we payed. Staff where very pleasant and friendly.would definitely not recommend
What can I say? Don’t judge a book by its cover. The building looks very elegant from the outside, but that’s where it ends. As soon as you step inside the hotel, you’re greeted with a very dated look. The whole house feels “wonky”. Floorboards keep moving under your feet. No lift, so if you’re given a room on the top floor, good luck! Room was just as “wonky”. Floor in the bathroom wasn’t level, so felt you were walking down a hill. WC took 5-10 minutes to re-fill! Shower head dirty. No fan in the tiny bathroom and we couldn’t open the window as it been painted over, so impossible to open. Bedside table was leaning forward, so some of my items slid off! Bed light above the bed was hanging off the wall. Breakfast was ok. Parking onsite behind the hotel. Just don’t bring too big a vehicle or you won’t make into the parking lot! Best thing? Location! Just a few minutes walk from the Hoe, but apart from that, nothing else. Needless to say, we won’t be returning to this (what is in our opinion) a 2 star hotel!
we loved our 2 nights at the hotel its ideally placed for the seafront and the city centre.
The breakfast was very good and the staff are very helpful
shout out to Ruth who assisted us during our stay.

Very pleasant stay and great location!
Special shout out to Olivia who did a tremendous job at breakfast, the dining room was packed with guests and it overflowed into the lounge bar too! They were working with skeleton staff and everyone came down to eat at the same time, however, she did a fantastic job … well done Olivia!
We had a great overnight stay, the hotel staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great!
Ideally located with very comfortable and clean rooms.
