Stayed here on a week end break and we were on the 8th floor at the back with views over the Barbican. The restaurant which would be on the 11th floor (PH) has beautiful views from all directions but it's of Plymouth Hoe that makes it a very good location to be in. It won't take you 5 minutes to...

No complaints really, bathroom could do with updating though, as very tired, and the shower leaked onto the floor. The room has sliding windows which can only be opened approx six inches, so imagine can be quite hot in the summer. Staff very friendly. Location right on the hoe is great, not far at all from the Barbican or city... More

What a shame to waste such a beautiful location in Plymouth with a purely mediocre hotel. The decor is old, the bathroom and furnishings are from another age and the cooling system is just a shame especially when it's cold and the windows are real strainers - the air leak was just unbelievable. I stayed 3 days in the hotel,... More

The next hotel on our globus trip. We were pleasantly surprised. It was a huge room with two double beds. Yes it is a bit 'tired' but it didn't bother me that much as it was comfortable and fairly clean. I did get a towel that was a bit frayed and there were some minor stains on the wall but... More

This hotel was ok, it was not great but it was clean and it was near to the tourist places in Plymouth and the sea. The rooms were ok but not the best Holiday Inn we stayed at, others have had nicer rooms.
