Nice big room, great position, parking on site
Mattress was very soft/ worn out? Strong smell of bleach in the room
Excellent place.
Location and staff.
Location in relation to the Theatre Royal, very friendly staff & cleanliness.
Loveiy breakfast wonderful comfy bed and brilliant location right near the hoe the room I stayed in exquisite reception staff amazing too
Good location for Barbican and Hoe
They had not reserved us a parking space despite me asking. They said only customers booking direct had priority and not those bus booking . Com. Not sure it warrants 4 star
Friendly staff, nice room, clean. Great location
All good
Staff was very helpful and pleasant, especially Yasmin, who offered great advice and service. Breakfast was good but the coffee machine was terrible. The common areas were charming.
My room was abysmally small. There is no AC so we had to open windows which open to the parking lot. I'm sure most of the time AC is not necessary but we were there during a heat wave.
Location, free parking, breakfast
Nothing
Comfort and location. Great breakfast!
Noise from breakfast room above room 4. Tight access in/out of shower.
Location
Very outdated room and very expensive for what you get
super petit déjeuner. parking derrière le batiment très pratique
Personne à l'accueil de l'hôtel malgré l'heure d'arrivée donnée à l'avance. Chambre double beaucoup plus petite que sur les photos !
Good sized room, large well-equipped bathroom. Close to the sea and nice places to eat.
Matter of opinion really, the bed was very firm in the room and had a slight slope! They also don't seem to have an iron and ironing board available. They had a steamer, which wasn't too bad. But overall, a nice well-located hotel.
It was very close to walk to everything.
It was a small hotel with very friendly staff.
La gentillesse , la proximité des sites
Brilliant location great staff really clean and breakfast was lovely

Location
Carpet in room grubby ,bathroom smelt musty
On entry to the hotel no person was on reception but they came quite quickly once the buzzer had been pushed. The member of staff who greeted Me was very friendly and helpful as we arrived earlier than expected. The room was large, clean and bright, bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows should you need them. Nice to see biscuits in the room with the tea and coffee. Bathroom was well stocked with toileteries and shower shampoo etc. Breakfast you had a good choice of cooked or cereal or both if you were hungry. Great location to walking around Plymouth, the Hoe or the Barbican would use again. And of course parking right outside the hotel.
Unfortunately communication at breakfast one morning meant they forgot my breakfast. The shelf in the bathroom was rusty and dust on top of the shower glass door frame
Location
Room was a little small.
Location was excellent, very attentive staff and nice breakfast
The only negative would be that the carpet in the room we stayed in could do with a clean, the rest of the room was excellently presented but the stained carpet let it down
Comfortable and good quality breakfast
Location
La stanza nonostante fosse sotto il livello stradale era luminosa, molto carina e pulita. La colazione ottima ed il personale molto gentile e disponibile.
Vicino al porto ma non al centro.
Nice hotel, good location, good breakfast
Be advised I booked a delux room that happened to be in the basement at the back of the hotel in the overspill car park. Not my idea of Delux
Great all round experience
Location was good, breakfast also
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Hot breakfasts were made to order (ordered the evening before) so were lovely and hot. There was also cereal, fruit, toast and yogurt available. Our room was lovely and clean.
We stayed in a triple deluxe room and although it was very clean, it was on the small size with a very small , but functional, bathroom. It was also a little noisy as it was right next to the rear car park/ hotel entrance. ( Proximity to rear car park made it easier to unload luggage.) The car park itself is very small and if you are one of the last cars to arrive, it is not easy to park. It was also completely blocked off when we returned to the hotel in the evening as a car had parked across the entrance. If you have an early start, let the hotel staff know in advance and ask for a parking spot at the front of the hotel as the hotel reception is unmanned over night. This wouldn't put us off staying here again though.
Que te hacen sentir como en casa las empleadas Además de lo bonita que es la casa y lo limpia que está
Todo todo es maravilloso
Excellent location close to the sea, close to the Barbican. Shops nearby. Lovely staff excellent breakfast, very clean room. The highlight being the walk in shower. Fantastic. A very relaxing stay and parking was provided on site.
Staff
The room, was extremely disappointing. Small, no window but I accepted that when I booked,. But never book again at this hotel.
Excellent position. Close to all amenities. Clean and bright.
Pedestal tables in dining room not good.
Der var rent og personalet var venligt. Morgenmaden var fin.
Værelset var meget lille, nærmest ikke plads til en kuffert i rummet. Det var ikke muligt at have sine ben under bordet i morgenmadsrummet.
Our room was large. Easy walk to the Hoe and Barbacon.
Stairs tight and steep.
Fantastic location close to the Hoe - we were well looked after and as requested a parking space was waiting for us when we arrived. All the staff were very welcoming and our room was comfortable, clean and quiet. There was a little confusion with our breakfast order but as a coeliac I was well catered for with gluten free and nothing was too much trouble. Most
Most of our grumbles were down to personal taste- bed too soft, would have preferred mugs and a choice of teas etc but the biggest dislike was the rusty shelf/display unit in the bathroom…it so needs to be taken down and replaced as it is absolutely disgusting and with all the rust looks hideous!
Everything !
Nothing
Had to wait, didn’t even know that were there.
Waited all day for the room to be serviced. Didn’t happen.
Great location for the Hoe, shops, Barbican & the continental ferry. Parking reserved if requested & it is free. Decent breakfast & staggered times.
Nothing.
Location Free parking
Very small room which meant you couldn’t get down one side of the bed although it was a double deluxe
Friendly staff, modern fittings, breakfast room especially nice, complimentary car parking.

Breakfast
My room was very hot no window. Pillow lumpy. No shower mat for safety. Room right below kitchen so noisy and wook very early. Do not have room 5 if you want a good sleep staff very good. Bar closed by 10pm.
Cosy beds, great shower, lovely staff
Hôtel près du centre, moderne, confortable, accueil très cordial
Seul bémol, l'impossibilité de se connecter à Netflix sur son propre compte
Great location for the theatre, barbican and hoe
Shower cubicle was cramped
Great location, Clean and tidy, nice breakfast and friendly staff
Sehr angenehmes kleines Hotel in guter Lage mit eigenem Parkplatz Zimmer im souterrain aber schön groß , sehr freundliche Betreuung. Prima englisches Frühstück. Preis Leistung gut! Zimmer war frisch renoviert mit gutem Bad.
Matratze etwas weich.
Good location, very friendly and helpful staff, they are so lovely.

How comfortable it was,staff were brilliant, breakfast was excellent and it is close to the Hoe.
Wij kwamen per trein en vanaf daar is het goed te belopen (downhill :) terug hebben we de bus genomen) en ook dichtbij de boulevard en de restaurantjes aan zee
Free parking. Brilliant access to Plymouth. Ideal place to walk to anywhere relevant to Plymouth. Staff where so natural to communicate with. Very pleasant stay. No problems.
Mushrooms and sausages were not to my taste, but well cooked and edible. The eggs were excellent and overall excellent food. Just being picky. Would I book again, definitely one of the best places in Plymouth for the price.
Loved the location, staff weee super friendly and helpful. Food was great. Room was comfortable and clean.
Bar was closed early.
The staff went above expectations to help with the parking. Central location. Really clean room. Full breakfast.
Very clean Modern Beautiful building Friendly staff
The bathroom shelf in room number 6 is rusted and needs replacing
Non c'è il frigo ne una bottiglietta d'acqua di cortesia. Le stanze 8 e 9 sono nel seminterrato e le finestre delle camere sono sul parcheggio interno, dove le auto non permettono quasi di aprire le finestre.Nessuna proposta di colazione dolce.Albergo al completo senza possibilità di cambiare la camera
Very clean. All staff are lovely. Breakfast was very good. Would return
The location is perfect with free parking and delicious breakfast, staff are friendly and helpful
The cleaner didn't change the towels second day
Location was good breakfast was very nice
Everything was noce0
Il bagno, piccolo ma recentemente rinnovato.
- Stanza nell'abbaino, quindi per raggiungerla era necessario salire più di una rampa di scale, e anche piuttosto ripide, e questo non era specificato al momento della prenotazione. - Pulizia della stanza: la moquette era sporca e appena sollevate le lenzuola per andare a letto ho trovato un capello sulle lenzuola. - Distanza dalla stazikne: superiore a quanto detto sul sito. - Colazione un po' deludente. Non tornerei in questa struttura
la ubicación, que hay parking gratis y la amabilidad de la recepcionista con útiles consejos la primera tarde al hacer el check-in.
cama muy blanda y las voces de las personas que trabajan allí haciendo ruido antes de las 07:00.
The staff and the location - very handy for everything.
There was a mark (not very nice mark!) in the loo.
Posizione molto comoda e centrale
Colazione da migliorare
Love the location. It's right on top of the lighthouse, the barbican is only 10 mins away depending on your walking pace and shopping 5 mins away. Staff super friendly and helpful

Very near to centre and near a car park
De-lux room was rather on the small side It was downstairs, at the front of the building facing a brick wall.
Location
Barhroom
super central to both drake circus (shopping centre) and the hoe, short walk down to the barbican. lovely cooked breakfast each morning, clean room & very friendly attentive staff.
parking at the rear of the property has very tight spaces, people with bigger vehicles would struggle.
Un très bon emplacement, très central entre la côte, le centre-ville commerçant, le port et ses restaurants. Tout se fait facilement à pied. Nous avons été accueillis par des personnes extrêmement cordiales. L'établissement est typique et très propre (mention spéciale pour la salle du petit déjeuner - ce dernier est varié, les mets servis de qualité, très bons et bien présentés). L'hôtel dispose d'une douzaine de places de stationnement tout au plus, mais personne ne semble être resté 'à la rue', où le stationnement est payant
RAS.
Great location, close to the Hoe and the city centre. Very comfortable, great food and lovely staff. Onsite parking was a bonus.
The accomodation stated that there was a bar but it was only open for a few hours and hardly any in the evenings. No-one told us (until our last night) that we could go to the sister hotel a few yards up the road to have a drink. Otherwise it was a great stay.
Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage. Von hier aus kann man in kurzer Zeit alle sehenswerten Orte der Stadt fußläufig erreichen. Das Personal ist super nett, das Frühstück ist lecker und insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr gut gepflegt und sauber.
Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer im 2. Stock. Leider konnte man die Fenster nicht komplett öffnen, sondern nur einen kleinen Spalt weit aufklappen. Aufgrund der hohen Temperaturen war es sehr stickig und warm im Zimmer. Die Matratzen der Einzelbetten waren sehr weich.
Location and staff were great
No fridge
Hotel was vey clean, breakfast had good variety. Staff excellent customer service.
All was very good and i would return..need ti remember to book the parking.
Good location, friendly staff
Parking. We were led to believe parking was on first come, first served basis, which would have be fine. It then transpired that if you booked direct with hotel they would reserve a parking place. As we booked through a third party, this would not be done for us. It meant we were unable to use our car as loosing the parking would have cost £20 a day street parking!
Location,cleanliness
Room small for three people ,in order to fit the beds there’s no room to walk in the room
Spotlessly clean and perfect location, friendly staff
Lovely hôtel, really close to the lighhouse and the sea.
Fantastic location, easy access to the Hoe. Lovely quiet hotel, a cool room, and a delicious breakfast. Free parking was a bonus. Will return again.
Nothing
Fantastic location for Plymouth Hoe and the city centre and Tinside Lido. Parking available at the Hotel. Lovely, friendly helpful staff. Fabulous breakfast with plenty of choice and fresh cooked options. Very modern, clean rooms.
The basement rooms don't have windows. Some are directly under the kitchen and breakfast room area, which means a lot of noise as people move around from 6am. Check the room details before booking.
Dining room, large with plenty of room around tables. Breakfast excellent choices, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Free safe secure car parking at the rear. Ideal for us, close to our room.
We stayed in room 008. The only thing we didn't like was that it was impossible to walk down the side of the bed nearest the window. Otherwise no problem.
From the moment we walked through the front door . Beth (on reception) was very courteous and polite and engaging . The Hotel is immaculately clean with beautiful decor throughout. Breakfast was exceptional and cooked perfectly (Thanks Chef) which set us up for are day exploring Plymouth with great recommendations and local knowledge from Beth thankyou everyone at The Drake Hotel for making mine and my wife's weekend away memorable 😊

Good location, good staff
Location and the hotel itself
I was put in a room that was really a store room. It was horrible. I got very little sleep due to background noise from the kitchen all night. I was at a wedding the next day which was ruined as I was exhausted
Very clean and comfortable rooms. Staff friendly and helpful
3/5 breakfasts were excellent. 2 not as food either heated up or cold Diff chef???
Nice room and good facilities.
Breakfast as usual disappointing unless you only want a cooked breakfast.

The breakfast needs addressing, sausages were not good, tomatoes burnt, over all very disappointing
Great location, great value, lovely staff, nice breakfast

Handy for everything
