We recently stayed at Holiday Inn Plymouth for yet another last minute break. Once again had a fantastic time. A warm welcome from reception, swift check-in. Amazing view over the port. Could be anywhere in the world! The room was large and spacious, spotlessly cleaning and bright. Great food, breakfast was so much to choose from, be prepared to put... More

This hotel was ok, it was not great but it was clean and it was near to the tourist places in Plymouth and the sea. The rooms were ok but not the best Holiday Inn we stayed at, others have had nicer rooms.

A reasonable price, a large room, and a fantasic view over the harbour from the dining room. Room was fine although the bathroom has been well used. The TV had about 30 channels and no movies available. No fridge or safe in the room. I would stay again at the price but would have expected extras if the price was... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn for a 3 night break. You cannot fault the location of this hotel. It is the best. You can walk to the town centre for shopping or to the Barbican for a great night out. Do not underestimate the usefulness of the underground car park as parking in Plymouth is a nightmare. Great bed... More

This is a much older Holiday Inn and is quite tired. It is clean enough and the rooms are comfortable. Room service was quick and the food was good.
