Situated half a mile from Plymouth Hoe, The Imperial Plymouth is a stylish guesthouse offering modern rooms and apartments. The ferry terminal with regular trips to France and Spain is only 20 minutes’ walk away.

Wow, what a wonderful place! First and foremost, the location, right near the Hoe (park with a magnificent view of the harbor and a historical lighthouse) and the Barbican with many restaurants - and the Gin Distillery (a MUST!) And despite the proximity to all this, it was very quiet! Then the staff - OMG, what a wonderful team, everyone was ready to help with anything - special breakfast, directions, things to see, best restaurants... As I mentioned, the breakfast - several choices, ALL delicious, and made to order (try the poached eggs... a delight!) Parking was a bit tricky "on property", but quite achievable by leaving keys with front desk in case my car was blocking anyone. I LOVED this place! Not a hotel, but a fun happy place to stay! I'll be back!

    Great hosts. Alan met us at the door because of the security on entry to the building. His explanations of everything in the flat were concise and in case we forgot anything, it was all written down in a book. Top quality furnishings, very comfortable. We felt secure in the knowledge that our hosts were close and only a phone call away. One question I had I sent a text which was answered immediately. I have no hesitation in recommending Alan & Sarah and their flat in The Victoria to anyone.

    Very friendly staff and great location right on the river. This is obviously a great local pub and restaurant because it was very busy. The bedroom had been recently refurbished to a high standard and was reasonable size for a single. It had river views overlooking the original ferry ramp. As the evening got later the bar filled with locals and seating was limited. I would be very happy to stay there again

    Dave & Sally are great hosts, very obliging and helpful. Good value for the price but weather very hot so room rather stuffy a floor fan and small fridge would have been perfect. Would recommend to family & friends although it is in Devonport some distance from Plymouth but train just around corner and cheap as chips. Would be happy to book again as Plymouth is fabulous for shops, sights, restaurants and bars and we weren't staying long enough to cover everything. Hosts very informative about the area and local attractions.

Beds where very comfortable and bathroom facilities where amazing Everyone had a wonderful time living the dream - a real treat ✨️
