Great bed for the night if attending the Pavillions.
Excellent location near Pavillions.
Comfortable beds, clean.
Dated, room needs modernising / decorating.

Not for the faint at heart
The lady was kind
The ‘view’ was a brick wall — not metaphorically, literally a wall. I’ve had more scenic inspiration looking at the inside of a microwave.
The room was banished to the attic like the hotel was trying to hide us from HMRC. The staircase… absolutely unhinged. Not stairs — a near-vertical pilgrimage. By halfway up I was negotiating with God. By the top I’d gone through all five stages of grief twice.
My mate Scott — who is a big lad and has COPD — tried to tackle it. Honestly, watching him go up those stairs was like watching a medieval siege engine attempt a mountain. The wheeze he produced could’ve powered a small wind farm. I genuinely thought I was going to have to rope him up like a pack mule and haul him to safety.
He brought his brand-new Exeter City bedding to brighten the place, but the room’s energy was so bleak it turned the bedding into a hostage situation immediately. Looked like Exeter had been relegated seven divisions and the bedding was processing the trauma.
The blinds were hanging on like they’d survived a riot, the bathroom gave strong ‘murder documentary reenactment’ vibes, and the whole room felt like it had witnessed too much and wanted to forget.
If emotional damage was a hotel room, this was it.

Overall, I wouldn’t stay here but if it improved I’d definitely reconsider.
The view outside was lovely, the staff were absolutely amazing. The theme of the room was nice, towels were folded up neatly. Small nice little tv. 10 minute walk from the Oceanside. Kettle and tea bags and coffee sachets were useful. The curtains were really really nice and actually blacked out the room.
1. The location (felt really unsafe because of the dark corners
2. The room was decently okay but there were stains on the bed and the bedding definitely wasn’t changed after the other customers left as there was also red hair in the bed when we lifted up the bedding (none of us are redheads)
3. There was a dead bug on the lamp.
4. The bathroom water damage is really bad and the showers needed a bit more of a deeper clean
5. There was no close place to plug in chargers or anything
6. WiFi was horrible. Worked for about 5 minutes and then disconnected all the time and that was with all devices
7. There was also some water damage in the room by the window.

Comfortable for the money but in need of TLC badly.
Room was ok, beds clean and comfortable. Bathroom needs an upgrade very quickly as the sink was nearly falling off and the shelf above the toilet was sloping very badly. The shower needs a deep clean but was hot and powerful. The property is quite outdated but the room was big enough and wasn’t cramped to fit in all the beds.

A most comfortable night
Lovely little guest house really close to Plymouth Hoe. This is a budget stay but the cleanliness and the quality of the bedding and beds were superior to some much more expensive hotels we've stayed in. They even made beautiful oragami shapes from the towels. Highly recommend.

Budget stay, great location, friendly hosts
Location was perfect for our event. The hosts were friendly and were happy to be called 24/7 to help us if needed.
We paid for a budget accommodation and it was what I expected. The room needed decorating and some new furniture.

Was pleasant.
The place was close to the city centre and was quite good value for money compared to other hotels in the area, the guy working was helpful and friendly, even helped me navigate how to use the door when I couldn't unlock it as had a certain way of doing it (not to put the key the whole way in) the bed was clean, the toilet was clean and had clean towels. Shower was great, very warm to my taste and the power I enjoy. I would stay again.
Unfortunately the WiFi was appalling and I kept getting disconnected. In the end it was just better to not use it and use my laptop on my hot-spot and the window when I opened it was dirty from the exterior and even had a small group of flies nesting on it which I had to clean away. Also the fire alarm went off at half past 4 this morning which shook me awake. Not the hotels fault.

Bit of a disappointment
The guy who welcomed us was lovely, took bags up to the room for us.
There was black mould in the room on the ceilings, unpainted door frames, toilet holder was held on with silicone but not well as it was broke, the front door didn't close properly. There was a funky damp smell in the room. Beds were not comfortable. There was coat hangers on a couple of hanging pegs to hang clothes no wardrobe. Drawers were stiff you couldn't open them, cups were tiny and wasn't replenished with sugar tea coffee ect.

Ok if just wanting a bed for 1 night, definitely not longer !
The location
The room was cramped and toilet not cleaned properly.
Coffee sachets were very old as had solidified.
Asked about parking and was told that yes you had to pay for parking at meter which would have cost 16.50 for night ! Another guest house owner we saw on street said that to ask again as you should get a guest rate . Went back & asked again and only then he told me that it would be £8 . So luckily we saw that other B&B person otherwise would have paid double !
This information should have been given on website .

Good value accommodation for price and location for one nights stay while attending local concert
Very central location, especially for the city centre, theatres and the Hoe - comfortable room for one nights sleep, no frills
The room could have been a little cleaner and better presented; however, it was good for the price point

Not great
It was very close to Plymouth pavilions, that was why I chose it.
It was clean but very poor condition. Duvet smelt musty. Bathroom concertina door held together with tape. Many stained damp spots on the ceilings. The toilet roll holder was stuck to the wall with filler that hadn't been finished or sanded or painted. No hot water for showering. Tv was tiny and the sound was horrendous! Its advertised as bed and breakfast, no breakfast available. The bed was really uncomfortable, thin mattress, very hard.

Comfy beds, a two night stay for a wedding was enough, I wouldn't want to stay longer!
Great location, quiet too.
Parking was £8 a day, we were on the third floor, lot of stairs! We're in our sixties! Unnecessary cushions on the bed and a foot mat in the bathroom which didn't look clean, also a slow shower, tiny sink too.
3.0 / 10.0
very disappointing stay with no clear parking, parking charges were also very high.
Location was convenient.
On arrival it wasn’t clear as to where you were to park as the hotel is advertised as parking available, asked at reception and was told it was simply parking out the front on the road which is perfectly fine but at £16.90 for one night it soon adds to the cost of your room. We were taken to our room which was on the top floor being six flights of stairs with no lift option, which again if it were just myself and my partner would have been absolutely fine but seeing as we had requested a cot on booking the room it was clear we had a small child which with her additional luggage and her was a lot extra to carry up all those stairs. on inspection of the cot it appeared there was no mattress it was lots of folded up blankets on-top of one another which is unacceptable for an 11 month old baby to sleep on.
the light in the shower room was none functioning so by the time we checked in, in the evening we were showering in darkness. the sliding door to separate the toilet from the bedroom was also broken with sharp edges, felt we couldn’t use it so gave no privacy whilst sat on the bog. I understand this is a budget hotel and you simply get what you pay for but for me with a young family this was not up to standard as also being advertised as catering for family rooms. Will not be returning.

Clean and friendly but inadequate facilities in rooms.
The welcome we got, the only person we saw during our trip was always around on our way in or out and couldn't have been more attentive and friendly.
The hotel is under new management and signs asked customers to be patient while reburbishment was being carried out. Our rooms had clearly been painted recently and small, but unimportant details, like co-ordinated paintings and bed throws were added. However:
1) There was only 1 double socket in the rooms, near the floor by the window. This meant that the kettle could only be used by placing it on the floor (it was also impossible to fill it without using a glass as the wash basin was tiny). The socket issue also affected the bedside light as the flex would not have reached the socket without, again placing the light on the floor (incidentally, the light had no bulb in it either)
2) The bathroom door did not even shut properly, let alone lock.
3) The water pressure was very low, it took 3 minutes to get hot water out of the tap in the sink.
4) The light over the mirror in the bathroom was not working, a more minor issue but still should have been addressed
5) One of the mattresses in both bedrooms was very lumpy and 1 duvet in one bedroom was a summer one, very thin.
