Excellent hotel and very welcoming
Pros:

Location is great for the Theatre and city, plus Plymouth Hoe is only a 5 minute walk away. Breakfast is great and made fresh. You order what you would like cooked the night before. Plenty of cereal, fruit etc.

Cons:

Only small negative is the bed was a little soft for me, although my husband didn't think so. But, guess I am used to my own bed.

Pros:

Hotel is wat aan vernieuwing toe maar is zeer proper en gezellig. Ligging kamers aan de straatkant stoort 's nachts niet of amper. Zeer vriendelijke mensen, lekker ontbijt.
