We flew in late to Bristol airport and notified the hotel via telephone that we were destined to be too late for check in. Rachael arranged for our key to be left for us which really made our arrival pretty relaxing, all things considered.
Breakfast was grand, the location is very central and the showers were great.

Stayed in the Armada Suite - a self catering two bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room facilities. Very clean and spacious. Plates, cutlery and basic kitchenware provided as well as a cooker, microwave and toaster. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits on arrival in room. Loads of drawer space and small wardrobe.

Bathroom clean and bright with lovely big sink and cupboard / drawer storage. Could do with an extractor fan as only got non opening skylight and it did get very hot!

Limited parking on site for extra fee of £10 per night. Otherwise on street parking for approx £20 for 24 hrs.

Reception staff very friendly and welcoming. Excellent location as very close to the town centre and the Hoe. Street noise early evening but soon quietened down. Tescos and Coop both conveniently located nearby.

Would definitely recommend.

We like this hotel as the location is ideal for both the town centre and the Barbican with its choice of bars and restaurants. We did find a few things that could be improved but nothing that spoilt our stay
1) a bottle of water would be nice in the rooms
2) while our room had a coffee table not in an ideal location to be able to use it for cups as an ample supply of teas and coffees supplied or just to sit around.
3) Breakfast seemed a bit haphazard having to go to different rooms to get what you wanted, I’m sure back in the day breakfast was brought to you ?
Overall a nice stay.

Solid overall, with it being ideally located close to transport & town centre it was easy to get around.

If you're looking for something that is cheap but gives you a good value for money, then I'd recommend here.

If I'm ever back in the area, I'll book here again.

The car park is small so unless you arrive very early best to use the multistorey down the road. The room was clean and cool with the window open but the bathroom door wouldn't stay shut without using the dodgy lock. We're not big TV watchers but the tv was very small. We paid for breakfast £10 each which was a buffet and the food was hot and well cooked. The weather was very hot but the radiators were on full blast in the public areas. The hotel is a good base for the Barbican area and the harbour. We would stay there again

This is a GUEST HOUSE and not a hotel. I guess I misunderstood this. We came in after check-in was closed at 8:30 p.m. and didn't realize they closed. Radiators went off for a long time and the room was cold. Moisture from the roof was on one wall. Bathroom was clean and nice but small. Room was large. There was a door to a semi-balcony but we didn't have access to it. Breakfast was good. Breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. There was no refreshment of tea and milk. The bed was comfortable.

Our stay at Imperial Plymouth was very comfortable. The rooms were very large, and good sized bathroom with excellent hot water supply.
Breakfast was wonderful. Plenty of options, and well presented.
Parking was available on site but we chose to pay and park on the street.
The property was undergoing renovations, but this did not cause too much inconvenience.
The staff were very accommodating and ensured we had late access after our car issues delayed our arrival.
All in all we had a great stay.

Ok

Very small twin room but ok. The bed was thé worst I’ve ever slept in and I’m 56 ! It almost felt like the springs were digging into me.

Really silly things overlooked like the plug sockets. Two on the floor but kettle has a short lead so absolute health and safety disaster balancing kettle on edge of table.

The breakfast was just so so, fried eggs were too runny and snotty and cheap bacon so I ate nothing and we skipped breakfast the next day. Filter coffee that was cold. The photos of breakfast are completely misleading.

The room was ok in so far it was clean and shower room nice and clean. My 14 yo slept fine.

The ONLY thing this place has are the staff are beyond wonderful and helpful at every single turn.

I did witness an agressive drunk lady be so rude to one of the girls as I was coming in. A little latter I came back to check on the employee and asked was there anyone to support her and she said hopefully someone was coming but they were busy

PURE SERVICE SORT YOUR EMPLOYEES WELL BEING AS A PRIORITY!!!!!

I lodged complaint with hotel and experia who we booked with and was told nothing could be done .

Imperial Hotel, Plymouth

The Imperial Hotel is conveniently located for The Hoe and The Barbican. Reasonably priced with off road parking, which to us is a must. Good breakfast. Staff friendly.

positives ; comfortable mattress, clean room
negatives; customer care appalling, damp room, very unwelcoming( except for a nice cleaning lady who actually spoke to you), couldn't eat breakfast in peace, one member of staff banging chairs,plates,cutlery with no consideration that customers were trying to eat their breakfast.
I frequently stay in Plymouth and so far this has been the worse experience for being so unwelcoming, if you are wanting a welcoming holiday experience, avoid this place.

Lovely spacious clean room, comfortable king size bed. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in room. The only downside for us was that it was on the second floor, ( I should have checked) with the second set of stairs being fairly steep, also we had to park our car at the rear of the building which was at basement level, which meant we had to carry our bags up 3 flights of stairs with two of them being steep.
The breakfast was very good and the staff attentive.
Unfortunately we were unable to shower in the morning as there was no hot water, not just our room but the whole hotel. We appreciate that things can become faulty and hope the problem was resolved quickly.

Ok stay

Conveniently located for Plymouth Hoe - a short walk up the hill. Our room was on the top floor up a very steep and narrow flight of stairs. It was a large room, with a reasonably comfortable bed. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. There was a small terrace with chairs, but the door was locked and nobody was able to locate the key.

The main problem was the shower, the bathroom is very small and the shower enclosure is therefore very small. Halfway through my shower the water slowed to a dribble and then totally stopped! Eventually it came back on, but only at a trickle. Not a great start to the day. We did mention this at reception and they said they would check it out!

Great breakfast with plenty of choice.

Gem in Plymouth

Check in was very easy. Our room was upgraded to a suite which was amazing.
The person at the front desk walked me to the room to show me which keys opened which doors and made sure we were happy with the room. It was definitely above and beyond.
The building was older, but it’s England and it was to be expected. The room was clean and bright and had everything we needed.
We also enjoyed a wonderful breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic, clean and comfy hotel in great location

Absolutely loved this hotel. Receptionist on check in was very helpful and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble. The room was fabulous, one huge room with queen bed and a totally separate room with a single bed and basin. Having a partner who snores like a freight train, the separate bedroom was a godsend. Lovely breakfast both cooked and continental. Great location right on the Hoe and 5 minutes walk to The Barbicon. Quick walk to city centre. Everything was really clean and the towels were large and fluffy. If not travelling would have stayed for a week. £10 to park overnight with paid street parking also available. Parking might be a bit tight in high season. Overall a great stay.

Nice enough but not wonderful

A nice old school Bed and Breakfast in a good location for the event we were attending on Plymouth Hoe .
It’s all a bit tired but the room was clean and pleasant enough and the reception staff were very friendly .
No parking was available on the day and it’s £12 a night if it is which is on a par with the multi storey a few hundred metres away .
All in all it was fine for our needs on this trip but am surprised that it has such a high (9.6 when we booked ) rating especially given the price is similar to much plusher hotels in the area but good luck to them !

Good service at the hotel, spotless facilities in the room and communal areas, excellent and good value breakfast.

Let down by awkward, tandem car parking facilities, broken light in bathroom (acknowledged by hotel) and by receiving nine \"spam\" like e mails from the umbrella owners' company in the week before arrival, the later ones asking if we had enjoyed our stay before we had even checked in!

Used to be fabulous but new changes brought in have spoilt it. Now a lukewarm buffet breakfast when it used to be table service for much less money. Car park now £12 when it used to be included. Room wasn’t clean. The staff who have been there a long time are as wonderful as ever but everything else is now poor.

The hotel and rooms were smart, clean and well presented. Breakfast was very good.

There is no air conditioning in the rooms and on a hot night this required having the window open all night which meant it was quite noisy.

Car parking is absolute chaos though, tiny car park which means most cars are blocked in and they charge you £15.00 which seems very high.

Lovely B & B

Beautiful old building, lovely big room, super staff, good location. Only criticisms are access to power sockets on just one side of bed and poorly fitting sash window. Worth understanding that check in times are due to no staff onsite after 8.30pm so late arrival matters, they aren't just being difficult. Public car parking in Barbican/Hoe areas is pay and display on road mostly, so hotel charge of £12.50 for 24 hrs is cheaper, but if your car is only there overnight the road can be a lot less.

Another excellent stay - thank you...

We have stayed at the Imperial Plymouth many times and it never disappoints...the staff are so friendly, the breakfast is yummy and we always leave feeling very refreshed...can't wait for our next stay in October.

(The only 'downside' is that they are now charging for parking which only came in this year - it wouldn't stop us staying again but this was one of the reasons we liked this hotel and just wanted to mention it to the new owners as I am sure that we aren't the first to make this comment.)

Recent negative changes to this hotel

This used to be the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Change of ownership has resulted in a new £12 charge to park your car, no check in after 8.30pm unless you pay £30 charge and a poor central booking service. The good thing is that the staff working at the hotel haven’t changed so you still get a great breakfast and warm, friendly service.

The running of the hotel has recently been taken over, at the moment it retains a friendly, welcoming persona. Would definitely return. If you are able to get a parking space at the hotel, there is now a £12.50 a day charge.
