Plymouth Family Friendly Hotels

The accommodation is one of the best family hotels in Plymouth, as rated by other travellers on TripAdvisor.

We had a clean, nice room with 2 double beds. The breakfast option was great as well. The staff were very helpful and polite... it was great, and we would return! Thank you iszatm996745
Pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Our family room was huge, had a bath, great air conditioning, and comfy beds. It was close to shops as well. We were so happy to see that the hotel had a guest laundry room. We'd been on a road trip holiday with young children, so the chance to wash clothes was brilliant. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if we were in the area. jgjg13
