Hotels near Tothill Park Basketball Court, Plymouth

Have stayed here on previous occassions but the hotel has changed hands since our last visit. The bar and lounge have gone and been made over into a breakfast room, whilst the frshly cooked to order breakfast has been replaced by a breakfast buffet. The menu has also been strimmed, no fish, no kedgeree, no smoked salmon and scrambled eggs nor eggs benedict etc. Its a basic full English or a continental now. Parking is now charged at £10 a day and breakfast if bought on the day £12.50. Its saving grace is that Rachel is still there giving her usual above and beyond service, and that the rooms havn't been tinkered with-yet! Whilst its still a good place to stay, its not as good as it was.

Good location, pleasant and helpful staff. The hotel is very dated and in poor repair in places. The en suite bathroom was incredibly small. The cooked breakfast was mediocre, cheap bacon and sausages. The continental offerings were fine. The rear of the property where we parked (additional charge, which is fine) was untidy. The hotel allows dogs, I didn’t realise, clearly I must have missed this whilst booking, however there was a feint doggy smell.

Good.

We stayed for one night in August. The Duke of Cornwall is a historic Victorian building which looks amazing on the outside, it’s a very old hotel so has some querks. There was major external works so scaffolding in place and most of the building was covered in tarpaulin. We booked via a popular ”booking” site for £210 for a family room + our fur baby including breakfast. A Grand staircase leads up to all floors and these are well numbered and easy to find rooms. You can take the lift if you prefer but it is very small and a bit claustrophobic. We were in Room 410 – the room itself was huge, bedroom and bathroom, whilst huge, the room was bit 'tired' but very clean & a modernised bathroom. The bed was VERY comfy and we had a good night’s sleep. Hairdryer supplied in room – handy although it was a typical travel hairdryer so don’t expect too much. The back of the hotel is very different to the front, a bit run-down and in desperate need of sprucing up! Car parking - small car park and situated at the back of the building, with a walkway from the car park leading into the hotel and then down one floor to reception to check in. Bar area = modernised with original features and prices were reasonable. We did request a snack at about 8:30ish and was told to wait as kitchen was still open but no one came to take order - the hotel information stated the restaurant served meals from 7pm until 9:30pm daily so we were a little disappointed that we couldn’t have anything. Breakfast: was served in the bar area as we had taken our fur baby down with us. There was a choice of croissants, cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. or cooked selection. We opted for bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and mushrooms all ordered from our table and was brought out within 5 minutes – staff were really friendly and attentive. Although the breakfast was fine it seemed expensive for the 3 of us as was £54.00. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The hotel itself is very grand in the public areas but the corridors and rooms need some attention to bring them back up to the grandeur they once were – we would stay again if rooms had an upgrade to match the rest of the hotel.

Have started staying here regularly while i work nearby. Very nice modern setup, funky design, good rooms with everything you need. In particular though, I want to comment on how facilitating and kind the staff are. Whether it's 3pm or 3am (i often work late!) the folks that work here are always smiley, warm and considerate. It feels a very welcoming place - and it's the staff that keep me coming back most of all. Keep up the great work, Moxy, you're a brilliant addition to Plymouth!

We stayed for three nights at the Future Inn Plymouth. On arrival we received a lovely warm welcome by the reception staff, our room was extremely spacious, clean with a well-stocked hospitality tray, the slippers & bathrobes were definitely an added bonus. Large free car park with plenty of parking available and despite been a little way out of Plymouth City centre the road links and frequent public transport made it easy to get out and about. We thought our stay was good value for money and would definitely stay again if in the Plymouth area. Many thanks
