Top Plymouth Hotel Reviews

Future Inn Plymouth

Future Inn Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"All is excellent"

The Grosvenor Plymouth

The Grosvenor Plymouth

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed on the third floor, small room, plenty of space, the room was clean with no damage, shower worked great. There was a fan in there which is helpful in the summer, didn’t have any noise complaints to make. Only stayed for one night so can’t come in on much else, the room key can be used for the front door when reception is closed after 10 pm and be aware that the keys go in the door horizontal rather than vertical and they also turn anticlockwise which takes some getting used to. Overall, very happy with my stay and I would stay here again."
