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.

Very nice hotel
Car park at the front was full, double parked but we found another car park around the back with lots of spaces.
Unfortunately had quite a wait to check-in as receptionist was away from the desk and a queue had formed by the time she arrived.
We booked a superior room on the top floor which was quite a trek with heavy cases.
The room was old fashioned decor but smart and clean with tea and coffee facilities. Bed very comfortable and couldn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms.
Breakfast was really good - great choice of fruit juices and lovely fruit cocktail along with cereals and toast. There was continental and a choice of cooked breakfasts too. They could probably do with more staff to serve as the waitress looked run off her feet but was very friendly and seemed to have everything under control.
We would definitely stay here again

Room was comfortable but not the cleanest. There were dirty marks around the toilet seat that could have easily been cleaned.
While having breakfast i left my table to get a coffee and returned to find that my breakfast which i had only half eaten had been removed.
No one available on reception to tell so sent an email with no reply, very dissapointing.

Very enjoyable stay, good breakfast, excellent staff, spotlessly clean and easy car parking.
Perfectly located between the town centre and the historic Hoe. Would definitely use the Drake again if in Plymouth.
