Plymouth Hotels with Bars

We stayed here 2 nights and were really impressed by this hotel, it really has everything you need, safe, mini-fridge, kettle with tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, hair-dryer, ironing board/iron, bath and shower, nice toiletries, nice towels, lovely big bed, great bed linen, kept at a nice warm temperature, it really is hard to fault this hotel in any way. Breakfast was included and was up in the penthouse with amazing panoramic views of Plymouth, breakfast itself was probably one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had with a huge choice of hot and cold dishes, including vegetarian options. Most options were self service but there was also a menu of dishes cooked to order such as Eggs Benedict, poached eggs and salmon etc. Hotel itself was a hive of activity in the bar and restaurant on the ground floor but nice and peaceful and quiet up on our floor. One of the lifts was out of action when we were there which caused a bit of congestion and long waits with just the one lift working. Reception was friendly and efficient, we would definitely come here again, the attention to detail and affordable prices make it a really great stay. There are also other facilites here like a pool and sauna however unfortunately we didn’t have the time to use these.

Perfectly situated for exploring Plymouth and all it has to offer, restaurants, shops , cinema , cafés, Barbican, the Hoe all within easy walking distance , buses and train station all easily accessible from here . Check in and out easy , staff very friendly and helpful, was travelling with my granddaughter so safety was upmost for me , and we certainly felt safe here . Beds , pillows very comfortable, room very clean no complaints as best nights sleep ever for both of us , very peaceful and quiet rooms , lack of drawer space for 2 ppl for four nights was a pain but not major , room was large and easy to move about in . Due to staff shortages our room couldn't be cleaned ( four night stay ) but we were left a bag of clean towels and refills of sugar/ tea / coffee, a letter of apology was also left explaining the situation, I was find with this as room was fine , out most of the time. Breakfast was adequate, hot , plenty of choice, ran out of few items which was disappointing, didn't get any eggs as quhe so long and all gone by the time it our turn , plus eaten the rest of my Breakfast as would've gone cold, tables not cleared quickly enough, had to ask for cutlery and to wipe the table , again down to staff shortages. Didn't eat breakfast again purely because my granddaughter only ever has toast and jam with a cup of apple juice , while I think £13 is reasonable for the breakfast, I'm not paying the same for 2 slices of toast and jam , no fault of the hotel obviously. We had serious issues with door card never working , think it worked on the last day , but all issues dealt with promptly by staff . All in all very good experience, thought it was very overpriced for what is really just a massive travel lodge , rooms are very similar to the many Premier inns and travel lodges around the country. Saying this I'd definitely stay again if visiting Plymouth.

We stayed for one night in August. The Duke of Cornwall is a historic Victorian building which looks amazing on the outside, it’s a very old hotel so has some querks. There was major external works so scaffolding in place and most of the building was covered in tarpaulin. We booked via a popular ”booking” site for £210 for a family room + our fur baby including breakfast. A Grand staircase leads up to all floors and these are well numbered and easy to find rooms. You can take the lift if you prefer but it is very small and a bit claustrophobic. We were in Room 410 – the room itself was huge, bedroom and bathroom, whilst huge, the room was bit 'tired' but very clean & a modernised bathroom. The bed was VERY comfy and we had a good night’s sleep. Hairdryer supplied in room – handy although it was a typical travel hairdryer so don’t expect too much. The back of the hotel is very different to the front, a bit run-down and in desperate need of sprucing up! Car parking - small car park and situated at the back of the building, with a walkway from the car park leading into the hotel and then down one floor to reception to check in. Bar area = modernised with original features and prices were reasonable. We did request a snack at about 8:30ish and was told to wait as kitchen was still open but no one came to take order - the hotel information stated the restaurant served meals from 7pm until 9:30pm daily so we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t have anything. Breakfast: was served in the bar area as we had taken our fur baby down with us. There was a choice of croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. or cooked selection. We opted for bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and mushrooms all ordered from our table and was brought out within 5 minutes – staff were really friendly and attentive. Although the breakfast was fine it seemed expensive for the 3 of us as was £54.00. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel itself is very grand in the public areas but the corridors and rooms need some attention to bring them back up to the grandeur they once were – we would stay again if rooms had an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.

Great customer service was very good. The room was great size with big Queen size beds very comfortable. The carpets could do with being replaced as stained. Only negative was some people near our room were noisy.

Hotel team all friendly and kind, help me to call the cab, the bed is comfortable, but not extremely convenient to the city, mostly I need to take taxi. I like the welcome drink very much. For me I will come back and stay again.

Stayed for 12 nights as on a two week training course in Plymouth, nice comfortable room, all amenities available hot and cold drinks (cold kept in room fridge, found the fridge handy to store extra milk!) as not keen on the cartons of milk nice hot shower and bath however shower does take a while to warm up bed and towels changed daily, hotel good location and easy access to all Plymouth attractions within walking distance beware if on foot of the hills! as the hotel is at the top of a hill, good selection at breakfast and nice friendly staff and good to see the hotel manager around the hotel greeting guests at breakfast, also nice to get a complimentary drinks voucher a nice touch too. and a nice fitness suite for guests to use,a few minor issues slight peel on wallpaper in room, warm room had to keep fan on or open window also as light sleeper and at back of hotel could hear students in the student flats opposite and the seagulls flying around all night

Boringdon is a very nice hotel but our experience was more 4 than 5 star (except for the dinner which was exceptional in taste, presentation and service). We booked a stable room Mayflower Dining experience package for the final night of our honeymoon. We booked the exact same package two years ago and the room was far smaller this time although the bed was very comfortable and the fresh milk in the fridge was a nice touch. The room itself did look quite tired with marks on the walls and the bathroom in need of a refresh, but it was clean and comfortable (just not what I would call five star). Staff left a card and a mini bottle of gin for us in our room to say congratulations which was lovely of them. The staff were all lovely and always available to help. The dinner was excellent and the beef fillet was the best I have ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot!). Cocktails were delicious too, and the Canadian ice wine suggested to go with the apricot tart for dessert matched very well according to my husband. I myself am gluten free and there were plenty of options for me on the menu. The beef wasn't originally available as a gluten free dish however I requested to see if the chef was able to make it GF which wasn't a problem at all and I'm so glad I did because it was incredible. The kitchen made us some ganache chocolate coins as a celebration of our recent wedding which was so kind. The breakfast unfortunately did not live up to our expectations and was nowhere near as good as it was two years ago. This time we had breakfast upstairs in the Spatisserie. We were seated right next to a very large window with no blind or curtain and the table became unbearably hot (in October!!). We had to leave mid meal because of this. We did ask to move but was told it wasn't possible. Service was incredibly slow because there weren't enough staff. The ones who were there were working hard but they needed an extra pair of hands. I was also sad to see that the two course breakfast has now become a buffet + one menu item. For me, as someone with allergies, I actively avoid hotels with buffets because they are not safe for me. Staff know this because before I even asked if there was an alternative to the buffet they told me I'd have to sign a disclaimer form if I wanted to eat from it (I didn't but they didn't ask that). This made me feel like they don't accommodate allergies at breakfast and I felt a bit like a second class hotel guest. After requesting if there was anything they could do, I was given some Greek yogurt and fruit directly from the kitchen, which was nice. Our toast never arrived and we left 45 minutes after it had been ordered. It's a shame that the breakfast left us feeling as we did because up until then we had enjoyed our stay although we had already discussed how it wasn't quite as good as our previous visit. The spa is lovely but was very busy. We did manage to get a lounger but lots of people didn't, so bear that in mind when visiting. The

Thought I would say a few words about The Imperial Plymouth. Had a family event at short notice and was looking for a hotel centrally based in Plymouth with parking and good value, well i found it with The imperial Plymouth. I contacted reception and asked about late arrival, Rachel could not have done more, she left a key , took photos and sent instructions how to access my room. The room was in fact a fully self contained unit with cooker kettle microwave etc AND was very clean with all tea coffee provided. I will only ever stay in this hotel when visiting Plymouth. Lovely location, lovely room, I arrived at 2am and woke to late for breakfast, at 10am i hot a knock on the door and received a sausage sandwich the lady Rachel had seen i had missed breakfast and brought me something to eat. Fabulous staff. Fabulous service. An excellent customer service team. And excellent hospitality. Thank you Rachel. Thank you The imperial Hotel. You really did go the extra mile. Best wishes Steven Thorne

What a lovely place. It was old yet modern, rooms were very clean. We had a family room which had a separate-ish room that our children slept in, along with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The freshly cooked breakfasts were exceptional, and you can choose what you want. It was a stone's throw from the Hoe and 15 minutes walk along the Hoe to the National Aquarium, which was the reason we visited. The staff were very friendly, the beds were comfortable and it has a licensed bar open until 9pm with a quiet and comfortable drinking area. It was 20 mins walk from the station, I would highly recommend it.
