Rooms are tiny and poorly laid out. Beds are less that 6' in length so if you are 6'2" its very uncomfortable. Ensuite facilities are jammed into a closet area with the entrance to the shower being approximately 16" wide. Lacks a useable wardrobe to handle two travel bags. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Great hotel and breakfast. Superior King Room was very spacious, breakfast was perfect, staff friendly and helpful. The bed was a good size but too hard for my wife and although I like a firm mattress, even I found it uncomfortable. Everything else made up for those though and we would recommend a stay at The Drake.

Very nice hotel
Car park at the front was full, double parked but we found another car park around the back with lots of spaces. Unfortunately had quite a wait to check-in as receptionist was away from the desk and a queue had formed by the time she arrived. We booked a superior room on the top floor which was quite a trek with heavy cases. The room was old fashioned decor but smart and clean with tea and coffee facilities. Bed very comfortable and couldn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms. Breakfast was really good - great choice of fruit juices and lovely fruit cocktail along with cereals and toast. There was continental and a choice of cooked breakfasts too. They could probably do with more staff to serve as the waitress looked run off her feet but was very friendly and seemed to have everything under control. We would definitely stay here again

Room was comfortable but not the cleanest. There were dirty marks around the toilet seat that could have easily been cleaned. While having breakfast i left my table to get a coffee and returned to find that my breakfast which i had only half eaten had been removed. No one available on reception to tell so sent an email with no reply, very dissapointing.

Very enjoyable stay, good breakfast, excellent staff, spotlessly clean and easy car parking. Perfectly located between the town centre and the historic Hoe. Would definitely use the Drake again if in Plymouth.
