Breakfast freshly cooked and delicious with lots of choice, service excellent. Easy, quick access to theatres, restaurants, shops and lots of nightlife and for fresh air... More

Wanted to stay there with a view of seeing if my son could have his wedding there. Not great, room smelled liked cigarettes, one blanket, flat pillows. Dinner more like a starter, no specials explained to us. The staff - none of whom had an english accent, did not know what a tomato cocktail was. The souffle was more like... More

Booked in for the weekend 27/04/12 for my daughters wedding. My room was very small & was smelly. It actually smelt of sewerage! I booked a double room on the same floor as my daughter so I could help out with the bridesmaids during the morning. When I mentioned the room to reception I was told there were no more... More

I always worry how on Earth the owners (in this case Best Western) make big, old, faded-grandeur, high-maintenance hotels like this turn a profit in such down-at-heel provincial towns. There can't be a massive business trade flux, and tourists will prefer the moors or Cornwall and the north Devon coast.There is a ceiling to room rates imposed by the local... More

I stayed there on March 2012 for three nights. A very nice place where to be. On your next visit in Plymouth, this should be your hotel. Very nice rooms (So cosy inspite of the lack of double-glazed windows). I was on the second floor, in the front of the hotel but I did not noticed the traffic on the... More
