Plymouth Beach Hotels

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

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.

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.

Stayed here three times in the last 12 months. Staff always welcoming. Hotel amenities great. Always use the swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Breakfast is never rushed even if we arrived down a bit later than most people. Also, for a small charge we can park in the hotel car park which is a bonus.

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

The location is perfect if you don't want to be in Plymouth itself. We needed to be near Derriford and it was really easy to get to and find. The hotel staff were really friendly and happy. Rooms were huge and had plenty of space. Beds and Pillows were comfy. The wallpaper is wearing a little and was starting to peel, but nothing major. Really good value, considering it had breakfast included, and nicer than a PI. Breakfast had plenty of choice and all very tasty, but plates weren't warmed which meant the food got cold very quickly as it wasn't particularly hot anyway. Coffee wasn't great. Would definitely stay again if prices were competitive.

The couple at the hotel are courteous to their guests. The room is neat, clean and comfortable, and the sound insulation is good. Although it is thin, it is overall very good. The oil painting has a little bit of a Greek feel to it. The dining room where breakfast is served has some unique furnishings. With such a price for breakfast, I think it is well worth staying. Full marks

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.
