Just note there are no lifts but I was well aware of this prior to booking. My room was on the fifth floor but it was okay but my stay was short.
I would stay at the Invicta Hotal again.

A hotel with a bit of history a stones throw from Plymouth Hoe. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and although there are no lifts it wasn’t too much of an effort to reach my top floor room.
Breakfast was freshly made with a menu catering for all tastes and requirements. there was a buffet breakfast available too.
At night there is a bar which you can use instead of sitting in your room. Evening meals can be found in the area with a variety of restaurants or you can order in.
Parking is either at the hotel if you book in advance or is available in the street. Payment is by phone or an app. I will rebook again if I return to Plymouth.

Don’t waste your time

In my opinion, the whole point of a hotel is to get some sleep, have a shower, and a hassle free overnight stay

When I arrived after driving for about 6 hours, I parked my car in the car park, to be told that it was ‘Full’. I was asked to park on the street and pay £15 for parking on the street. To make matters more fustrating, the three spare car parking spots which were there when I arrived were free all night and in the morning when I left.

I had to go out for food (Not an issue personally) after being told there was a restaurant at the hotel, and then had to leave my key at the hotel, which didn’t provide much comfort when all of my work IT equipment was left in the room.

My room had a flashing red light, which kept me up until about 4:30am where I hit exhaustion and was able to sleep through it.

On top of the red light, the walls were paper thin and I could EVERYTHING in the rooms next to me.

To top it all off, my two shower temperatures were either Baltic freezing, or at its hottest, room temperature water.

The breakfast was a saving grace and was genuinely really good.

All in all, staff weren’t the friendliest, place needs a massive overhaul to modernise slightly, and really disappointed. Location is spot on, but would not spend more than £40 to stay here again.

Probably wouldn't go back

Room was OK. Small and high. A bit of a funny smell. Breakfast was nice and waitress friendly and effective. Check-in surprisingly lengthy and inefficient for a simple transaction. Not happy with parking. Hotel advertises parking available; they don't say that they will charge £10 per night for this. And anyway on the first night, it was full, so I had to find on street parking and pay for that.

Not a luxury 4 star hotel

What can I say? Don’t judge a book by its cover. The building looks very elegant from the outside, but that’s where it ends. As soon as you step inside the hotel, you’re greeted with a very dated look. The whole house feels “wonky”. Floorboards keep moving under your feet. No lift, so if you’re given a room on the top floor, good luck! Room was just as “wonky”. Floor in the bathroom wasn’t level, so felt you were walking down a hill. WC took 5-10 minutes to re-fill! Shower head dirty. No fan in the tiny bathroom and we couldn’t open the window as it been painted over, so impossible to open. Bedside table was leaning forward, so some of my items slid off! Bed light above the bed was hanging off the wall. Breakfast was ok. Parking onsite behind the hotel. Just don’t bring too big a vehicle or you won’t make into the parking lot! Best thing? Location! Just a few minutes walk from the Hoe, but apart from that, nothing else. Needless to say, we won’t be returning to this (what is in our opinion) a 2 star hotel!

My sort of hotel

I had a great stay - this is my sort of hotel. It's big enough to have a comfortable bar and night porter, etc. but not so big that you feel totally anonymous. Friendly staff, lovely bar, nice toiletries, excellent location for the Hoe and Barbican as well as the city centre. My only suggestions for improvements would be a breakfast menu to consider while drinking your orange juice... And the outside of the windows was due a clean. Really loved this hotel and I look forward to staying again.

\"Nice looking\" hotel with small obstacles

It was a weekend away and we choose to stay over night in Invicta Hotel as price in pet friendly hotel we counted as acceptable. Additionally £10 to pay ok no problem. In the advert, they say rooms with pet allowance only selected. We had a phone call where they double checking your selection and allocation to appropriate accommodation as required.
On arrival no parking available as the hotel has very small car parking. But they issue parking ticket to leave your car on the street within the parking zone. Trouble you have that even that is not easy as a lot of cars parked around and you may have to leave your car bit further away. Room far away from hotel standard. More closer to say like a room to rent somewhere in private lettings. Maybe it has something to do with pet friendly accommodation but choosing hotel stay over night you would expect bit higher standard. Tea and coffee tray good stock selection but milk outdated nearly 2 months. No air conditioning if someone do prefer lower temp only option is open up the windows. Shower has all shower gel, shampoo and conditioner installed but secure mounted to wall, bit problematic pressing with one hand and holding other to release any of small dose, as mounted high and in far corner.
Despite all these things hotel and room it self very clean, staff very pleasant.
In these difficult time they do wear face masks and on check in they do checking guests temperature.
