Arriving in Plymouth by train, we found the Copthorne to be an easy walk from the station once we got oriented. It was a comfortable room with a larger shower than we have come to expect in the UK. There is a restaurant on the premises that we did not try. The Copthorne is conveniently next door to a Sainsbury's and a long pedestrian street with assorted shops. The area does not seem very prosperous but we did not feel in any way unsafe. We had several hours to wait for the night ferry to France, and were pleased with the standard late checkout (12:00) and that no one minded us returning to the lobby later to sit and read.

Stayed at the Copthorne hotel in Plymouth for two nights on business. I had a Club Room on the third floor with a great view over the City of Plymouth towards The Hoe. The hotel is very well situated for either road travel or travel by rail, Plymouth rail station is about 6 minutes walk away. The hotel is ideal for use by travelling business people or suitable as a base for visiting Plymouth and the nearby sights. The Club Room had great facilities, small refrigerator with complimentary soft drinks, room safe, ironing facilities with plenty of tea & coffee. However there was only one strange ‘in-room facility’ – a bottle opener fixed on a bathroom wall directly opposite the ‘WC’! Part of my package also included a complimentary drinks voucher for use in the bar or restaurant, excellent. Breakfast was self-service with a good choice of Continental, hot-n-cold buffet, cereals etc. Having stayed in many city centre hotels I was surprised that after the ‘hustle-n-bustle’ of city life died down, the area around the hotel quietened down which allowed me to leave the windows open all evening. All the hotel’s staff encountered were friendly, professional and welcoming. Checking in and out was swift, no delays. Harry B is happy to recommend the Copthorne Plymouth hotel. Looking forward to a re-visit.

Good hotel. Staff are very welcoming and pleasant. The room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was extremely good and the coffee too. Situated not far from the railway station. We will definitely stay again when we visit Plymouth.
