The Drake - A Diamond B&B !

I choose the Drake as a last minute booking, and I was not disappointed. My single room was very clean, spacious, with a decent wardrobe. Very friendly staff at both Reception and at breakfast. Great deal to have a delicious breakfast as well. Good car parking as well.

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.
