Great location. Exceptionally clean bedroom and bathroom. Helpful checking-in staff. Friendly , excellent cleaner. Nice hot shower. Lovely old pub, we enjoyed our stay. A warning .. open top bus stops outside bedroom window so make sure you're wearing some clothes when you raise the blinds lol!! We had a great time, thank you .

The toilet flush system was a bit tricky, but we managed to treat it gently, and it worked OK. It's very, very noisey through the night, people shouting outside , and excelerating loudly up the hill , but it's busy, lively place with students and tourists alike enjoying themselves, so it was fine.

A basic hotel in an absolutely fabulous location on the wharf at the Barbican. Our room had a view over the harbour and though we could hear and see the noisy happy revelers on a Saturday evening, the noise didn't continue for long and we had a really good nights sleep in a comfy bed. An easy walk to restaurants and food outlets and the C-Op in Hoegate St. A great loaction for walkers on the SWCP, as it was right opposite the terminal for the Cawsand and Mount Batten ferry.

The shower was a little difficult to control, but not a big deal since the location of the hotel made it worthwhile to endure.

We could not have asked for a better location, very easy to get to any of the good sights in Plymouth. Right by the waterfront. Secondly the room was very clean. Good room facilities. I lay on the bed and could see right across the water to see the boats.

If your intention is only for sleeping bed was perfect. But any activity on it resulted in a squeaky bed. But wouldn’t change our stay for anything. Also bar closed earlier in the week day, I imagine it had a late finish on The weekend. But to be honest , your around so many places to eat / drink etc your not really missing out on anything.

I’ve stayed at the samurai Mcbride several times. I always pay for a room with a sea view and believe me it’s spectacular. Iwouldnt want to stay anywhere else. Two minutes and I’m jumping in boats which are brilliant. There is nothing like being out at sea. After the trip I get off and in three minutes I am back in my room Incredible location. I will be back again next year! Thank you for yet another amazing stay.

Everything was great!

It is very easy to get to from the train station. Staff were really friendly and helped us with our luggage, they kept it safe behind before we could check in as we arrived early. Fantastic seating area outside with table service and brilliant view of the sea, as was our room too ! Drinks had loads of range and brilliant prices as well.

The only thing we could say was that we had to keep reconnecting to the Wi-Fi almost every half an hour to be using it. But everything else was perfect

Some of the rooms had a great view over the harbour and sea. A nice area for walks and sitting and enjoying the scenery. Lots of pubs, restaurants and some shops nearby. Bus stop outside the pub and the slipway for catching ferry and tour boats is just opposite. Museums and aquarium nearby. Not far to walk to the seafront and Hoe.

It would have been useful to have hooks on the back of the doors to hang wet coats, towels etc, Although the poor view out of the back rooms couldn't be avoided due to the location of the surrounding buildings, there was a lot of old garden furniture abandoned on the lower roofs behind which could be cleared away.

The location is just excellent, right in front of Mayflower Steps. All the ferries to various locations literally depart from the front of this hotel. There are many food options nearby including a host of seafood restaurants. Upon request the guy in the pub allowed me to take the drinks to the room.

The window in my room was shaking and making a bit of noise when windy outside, I had to put a small block of paper to stop the window from shaking.

extremely quiet room at the back of the building, probably the quietest room i've ever had in many years travelling. location was fantastic, right on the edge of the historic barbican area. tea and kettle there for free. great room. Local historians place this inn as the most likely location where the mayflower sailed from so if you''re american you're gonna dig it esp if you're a wasp.

nothing

Size of room was great, huge bathroom. Clean fresh linen and towels. Pillows were comfortable. The location was perfect. Coffee/tea provided. Hairdryer in the room. Friendly staff and easy check in.

The metal beds were extremely squeaky and found the bed quite uncomfortable. Very poor wifi signal. Wardrobe doors couldn’t be opened due to handles missing. Shower drain and remote control were dirty.
