The Drake Hotel Plymouth

The Drake Hotel Plymouth

10/10 Excellent
"Since the hotel is 400 years old, it had a lot of charm. (things like slanted floors and the room call bells on the wall in the foyer) The location was perfect for exploring the waterfront and catching ferries. The only issue, which it can’t do anything about, is the lack of an elevator and we stayed on the top floor. The very last flight upstairs was curved and very narrow, but a couple of very friendly staff members helped us with our luggage."

10/10 Excellent
"The Future inn in Plymouth was a fantastic choice for our stay. Helpful staff, nothing seemed to much of a problem to them. Rooms were very clean, well maintained & very big, so we were not squeezing past each other to choice like other hotels. The Breakfast may seem expensive but at all you can eat & a wide array of breakfast cereals, juices, cooked items etc, it was certainly worth the money. The location was a 10 minute drive from the city centre, nearby is a small retail park with costa/starbucks, Aldi, M&S food court. We will certainly be using this chain of hotels again."
