Reception was in a poor state but room was OK, real problem was breakfast, waited half an hour and then was served, cold potatoes, totally uncooked tomatoes, and the sausage was red raw in the middle. Could not recommend this hotel unless you wanted a few days of work with food poisoning ! PS Staff could not find the manager,... more

Stayed here for a couple of nights at a conference. Its situated right next to the Pavilions. A 15 minute walk from the railway station or a £3 taxi ride. Situated on a hill it didn't look that attractive and on entering the reception lobby I was further disappointed. It looked tired and in need of a make over. However... more

Ok, so seemingly the rooms have been upgraded, which the rest of the hotel is in dire need of.....but this is not my complaint, as the bedrooms were actually clean. I stayed at the New Continental as I working at a exhibition at the pavilions, so location was great. But... the noise.... wow..., there was an event going on in... more

Hotel reception, Ball Room, Corridors are very dated, looks like last decorated in the 70s. Stopped their with a few work mates and spent most the time laughing at the decor. Rooms had recently been redone and were of a good standard, although quality of materials used very poor. Hotel is used by the coach company tours. Staff were polite... more

On checking into the hotel, the receptionist was not as welcoming as she could be and demanded payment for the room immediately. The lobby and hallways are quite dark and dated and I was fully expecting the room to be the same. However the room and bathroom had recently been refurbished to a good standard. I had a really good... more

Most attractions at Plymouth are within easy walking distance. The Hotel Reception Staff were very helpfull.Multiple rooms were booked under one name but the various members of our party arrived at different times and on... more

However, pulled up outside and Reception were very helpful with directing us and asked if we needed help with luggage. Car park £1 per night which is very reasonable for a City Centre Hotel as i am very aware that the other City Centre Hotels... more
