Plymouth No
Plymouth was incredibly busy for graduation so my normal hotel was not available, the Kynance was one of the only options I had. Friendly welcome and good staff but the dated interior struck me straightaway, nothing about it is inviting, including the walk to the room. The room was small, was on a slope, no care or attention to anything in the room. A cramped but efficient bathroom and shower. The mattress and pillows were very basic and not particularly comfortable. The best thing about it was I was only here for 1 night, whilst I appreciate the town was busy to charge over £100 for this experience was disgraceful, £40-£50 would be the maximum

Room was clean and tidy breakfast cooked fresh had choice of cereal croissants, and fresh fruit. Will be going down to Plymouth again soon this is where we will be staying.

Generally, not a bad place. Could get a bit of modernisation. The room we stayed in was very small and we really struggled to move around, let alone get clothes out of the luggage. We liked breakfasts though, the breakfast area very nice and clean, and the place is dog friendly so overall if you’re planning to spend most of your time on the move, I suppose it doesn’t need to be a 5 star fancy hotel to enjoy your holiday.

Superb
The Kynance was a great last minute booking. It had everything you needed and included a varied breakfast for the price. Customer service was above and beyond. Something was left in the room. I called and the staff sorted it straight away and sent it Special Delivery immediately and even covered the postage which was so kind. I definitely recommend. Thank you The Kynance
