Needs an upgrade.

The bed and pillow were very uncomfortable. They were too hard. When my partner moved the whole bed would move. The floorboards are so squeaky when the people move about you can hear so loud below and I'm sure the people below us would hear the same. The car park is very limited and when you go to pay they suddenly had a price increase 2 days before but still note it on all literature as £7.50, not the £10 they charge at reception. The radiator started knocking at 6am then again at 7 am I had to adjust and then turn off the radiator to get some rest. They had tacky signs saying not to steal the shampoo bottles. Have dispensers in the shower/bath. The shower was OK. Didn't try the food or drink so can not comment. The staff were friendly. The hotel was probably amazing in 1863 with its lovely staircase but by today's standards it needs an upgrade

Bit disappointing.

Front desk were helpful and friendly. We paid for a superior double. The room was really drab and had strange twin headboards mounted on the wall that didn’t sit over the bed. When we complained we were moved to a better room promptly. The hotel is def outdated and a bit rundown but the staff were pleasant and the room was clean. The plug socket blew out and killed our phone charger. We probably wouldn’t stay again.

The decor is sumptuous. I cannot fault the hotel. However, when I booked on line, the option of a single room was not available, so I booked a double room for1 person. So I was rather surprised to have a small single room on arrival.

I will never stay at this property again and implore you to consider another option as well. I was moved twice during myvstay within the first couple of hours of my stay. 1st roo. - room 101 had plumbing issues and a heater that didn't work. Room 110 wherr I was then moved to had the inside llsecure lock broke - concerning for single female travelling alone, - and there was a MOUSE in the room. The 3rd room I was moved to, room 414, also had a non functioning heater but by this time I was done. I stayed rattled the whole stay about mice in the building and regretted immensely booking this hotel. Ratings misleading and simply not okay. And if they at all cared about customer service, they wpuld have themselves offered a refund the minute I had to be moved a second time following reporting of a MOUSE IN MY ROOM. If I could give a rating less than 1 star, I would.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the building itself is stunning. The hotel also hosts plenty of events, which adds to its charm. A big shoutout to Dagmara at the reception desk for always being so helpful and accommodating!

No heating in the room in December!

I stayed here a week ago and my room was lovely as was my stay. This week the room’s decor and condition was very poor; although it was exceptionally clean. The heating did not work and I was freezing! Initially , the hotel offered to bring a heater but it did not arrive. I asked to be moved and was given a room where the heating worked! Overall, I had a good stay .

Good classic hotel

Hotel was ok for price. My only issue would be the shower that was operated by two mixer taps and almost impossible to get the temperature right.

Plymouth HOE

What a wonderful hotel, could not fault the staff, hotel was clean and room was large, clean and spacious, we had a dog with us and nothing was too much trouble, the hotel is close to Plymouth HOE so good for a stroll with the dog. I would happily recommend the hotel if you have a dog, it`s not just dog friendly the staff go out of their way to make your dogs stay a happy experience.
