Copthorne Hotel Plymouth

Copthorne Hotel Plymouth

8/10 Good
"Absolutely fine. Close to centre and walking distance from Home Park. A bit faded decor and no air con in the room but fans provided. Decent breakfast. Parking was a bit of a nightmare as on the day of my arrival the doors to the underground car park had broken and I had to route via Sainsbury's car park risking a fine but thankfully the hotel staff managed to override the parking database and it appeared to have worked. Generally all was good and I would recommend and use again."

"This is a great little hotel despite it being very old and in need of some repair in places. The staff were great and couldn't do enough for you. The room was small but clean and had everything we need in it. The shower looked old but was very powerful and easy to use. Breakfast was very nice and there were plenty of options. It was a great location for us as we got to explore the Hoe in the afternoon and then it was a short walk to the theatre in the evening. This is a great place to stay if you don't mind something that isn't quite perfect but is friendly, helpful and clean. We will return again on our next visit to the theatre,"

Consequently I went into the members changing room then when I eventually spoke to a girl she informed me I should not be there but to go to the other changing room. Had to ask for a tag. 2nd day no problem and helpful staff. Breakfast amazing It was my birthday and they gave me a little gift. Will definitely be going back"

During this time, visitors can immerse themselves in the region's friendly people, diverse maritime heritage, and significant historical attractions such as churches, the marina, cathedral, monuments, and other culturally rich sites.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Plymouth, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounts on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and unique last-minute offers.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to various factors including the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in a Plymouth hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
