Top Plymouth Hotel Reviews

The Grosvenor Plymouth

8/10 Good

"Good beds although the tv aerial never worked in the room"

Boringdon Hall Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Only issue that I can mention was the fact there was no one at the pool reception when we went for our first swim. A guest had to show me how to access. Consequently I went into the members changing room then when I eventually spoke to a girl she informed me I should not be there but to go to the other changing room. Had to ask for a tag. 2nd day no problem and helpful staff. Breakfast amazing It was my birthday and they gave me a little gift. Will definitely be going back"

The Moorland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Friendly and accommodating staff - decor a bit tired - shower was broken on arrival but the staff were quick to sort it out. Clean, tidy and in a beautiful environment - lovely views from my balcony. Breakfast was good - ordering in advance at a set time meant no waiting for hot food."

Invicta Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable room with really lovely staff. The building is quite old and there's a lot of stairs, but that's to be expected! The location couldn't have been better. There's also a good choice at breakfast, would stay here again."
