Firstly the staff were fantastic - very friendly, welcoming and informative. The room I booked was a single room, and I wouldn’t rush to book it again. However, the property was well located, relatively clean, and the breakfast was fantastic, so I would stay here again, but would have to book a double room to enjoy a bit more space, and hopefully not be in below ground as I felt in the single. Bonuses were good off-street, free parking, walkable to all amenities, and I slept well in a comfy (single) bed.

Lovely stay in Plymouth.

Lovely one night stay in Plymouth. Terrific location close to the Hoe and the Barbican, easy walk. Breakfast was amazing, very generous continental buffet and a hot breakfast to order, all delicious. Bed was comfortable. It was a good climb up narrow stairs, as per many UK hotels. Otherwise a great value for money.

We were greeted by a very caring and helpful receptionist who explained everything we needed to know. A very clean room and ensuite. A comfy bed with the extra pillows, that were lovely and soft, that we always need - thank you. We will use this hotel again for our next theatre visit to Plymouth.
