Copthorne Hotel Plymouth  

Quite central. Only a few hundred yards from Armada Way shopping centre and a mile from the Barbican restaurant / pub area ( fiver by taxi for the unfit ! ). Safe underground car park.

Had to pay for car park ( would prefer if they hide this in the bill ). Room was quite small. Had to take service lift to the car park

Bar was open quite late when I arrived. Hotel has some parking. Not too far from station. Near a small park. Tea making facility in room

Rather old design of room and bathroom. Old style tv and rather small Expensive Internet charge. Not really four star standard today. Might have been 15 years ago.

Location/ price

Friendly staff, very accomodating. Spacious room and the location was close enough to the city but far enough away from nightime revellers. Sainsburys is next to it also, which was handy.

Very convenient for city centre, shopping and walks along the Hoe

It was close to the shops and the university. The bed was comfortable. Not too hard like at other hotels I have visited. The room was nice and quiet for the main part, so we weren't woken up by banging doors or noisy guests. They did accommodate my gluten intolerence to a degree (but the bread was bought from a supermarket, and was dry, as usual!).

The hotel is not as nice as it appears in the photos, it is one of the less attractive concrete buildings that seem to be everywhere in Plymouth, and everything in it is a little bit old and worn out. Some of the staff are a little bit useless, but some are very nice. The rooms could be in a better state: the bathroom grouting is a mess and there was an area on the ceiling that needed re-plastering (and we were staying in a Connoisseur room!). The layout of the room and the bathroom are a little awkward also. The breakfasts were sub-par, with the yoghurts on offer being a little warm, the porridge being undercooked and the fry-ups being a little poor also, with overly greasy bacon and watery scrambled eggs. The weekend chef is clearly better than the one during the week. Smoking outside the hotel in winter was a freezing experience, not even a small patio heater provided, let alone somewhere to sit! All in all I would say that the hotel is quite average, possibly slightly over-priced. It may have been a very nice hotel about 10 years ago, but it has gone downhill since.

Fantastic hotel and great value for money.

got twin beds instead of a double bed

My bed was one of the most comfortable that I have ever slept in at a hotel.

The decoration and facilities are starting to look very dated. Needs modernising.

the staff made our stay very enjoyable

Superb location; 5 minutes from Train Station, 3 minutes to City Centre. Surprisingly, very quiet location. The Staff were very friendly and polite. Room was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend this Hotel.

Excellent location, close to railway station and shopping district. Friendly staff who fulfilled our request for a late check out free of charge.

Pretty old fashioned rooms, expected a slightly newer tv and bathroom facilities. No fridge/mini bar and no safe.
