Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a lovely en suite bathroom and a super powerful shower. The full English breakfast was well-cooked and delicious. The service was top-notch, from the duty manager to the friendly staff at the breakfast table. The location was perfect, close to Plymouth's attractions and within walking distance of famous sights. The dining experience was fantastic, with thoughtful touches like soya milk and cheerful, helpful waitstaff. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is well situated in the Centre, near the center for Plymouth's attractions. The rooms are spacious and come with a big bathroom and little extras, including very comfortable sofas and a very comfortable bed. The service provided by the duty manager was top-notch, delivered in a quiet and efficient manner with a smile, especially at the breakfast table. The dining experience offers thoughtful touches like a dairy alternative of soya milk and cheerful, helpful waitstaff. However, parking can be a bit of a challenge, and accommodation over the pub might lead to some noise in the evenings.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to many attractions and within walking distance of wonderful restaurants. The rooms were cozy with a selection of homely touches, making me feel right at home. The service was exceptional, with the staff always wearing a smile and going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The dining was delightful, with generous portions and attentive service. However, there were some minor issues with noise levels and the pricing could be more budget-friendly.
