We were greeted by a very caring and helpful receptionist who explained everything we needed to know. A very clean room and ensuite. A comfy bed with the extra pillows, that were lovely and soft, that we always need - thank you. We will use this hotel again for our next theatre visit to Plymouth.

Hotel not to be missed
The stay at the Drake Hotel was a 5 star experience .Hotel was spotless and decor was beautiful.Reception staff were more than helpful have not experienced any better in any hotel.Room was beautifully decorated and the bathroom was excellent very bright and plenty of space for all items If breakfast is required you will not be dis-pointed full English cooked to perfection. All the staff are very pleasant and always greeted with a smile .Plenty of free parking so big bonus.Situated a short walk to the left for the Hoe and Barbican and right for the shops.Will definitely be staying again next time we are in Plymouth.

Rooms are tiny and poorly laid out. Beds are less that 6' in length so if you are 6'2" its very uncomfortable. Ensuite facilities are jammed into a closet area with the entrance to the shower being approximately 16" wide. Lacks a useable wardrobe to handle two travel bags. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Great hotel and breakfast. Superior King Room was very spacious, breakfast was perfect, staff friendly and helpful. The bed was a good size but too hard for my wife and although I like a firm mattress, even I found it uncomfortable. Everything else made up for those though and we would recommend a stay at The Drake.
