Hotel Sydney House (Plymouth, United Kingdom)

Almost as impressive as The Sydney’s degree of hospitality is the hotel’s standard of cleanliness. Bathing facilities are spotless, bed linens are comfortable, and the breakfast area is acutely maintained and furnished.

From the initial moment of your arrival, you will be greeted by warm and welcoming personalities. The personnel at The Sydney are more than eager to assist visitors with varying needs. If you’re in need of extra blankets or towels, requesting directions to any of the surrounding attractions, or need help carrying your luggage, prompt and efficient service is guaranteed.

With a bus stop positioned just a two-minute walk from the hotel, visitors enjoy a hassle-free commute to major city attractions and neighboring towns. Various restaurants, museums, and bars are within walking distance of The Sydney.

However relaxed and homely one’s stay at The Sydney tends to be, some guests have suggested that the hotel undergo renovations. Reports indicate the rooms to be equipped with facilities more basic than some may be used to. In addition to small televisions—some of which are inconveniently position, offering little visibility from the beds—, broken window hinges and frayed carpets have also been sources of disappointment.

While The Sydney offers free Wi-Fi access to guests, some have found difficulty connecting from their rooms and other areas around the hotel. Internet access tends to be a bit sounder in the lobby, however, the connection speed may be slower than some high-speed users are familiar with.

The provided sleeping arrangements at The Sydney are comfortable and well-maintained. However, some guests may find limited en-suite availability to be burdensome. If no en-suite rooms are available for booking, expect to share bathroom facilities with one to four others.
