Positive Reviews
positive:
Great location at the heart of Plymouth, next to the Hoe.
Whether you're visiting Plymouth for business or pleasure, you won't want to miss the Hoe, the city's prime waterfront and entertainment area. Guests love the location of the Grosvenor, just 100 metres from the promenade.
positive:
Elegant, characterful building, tastefully furnished.
If you've got an eye for design, then the Grosvenor will certainly make you smile. It makes the most of its beautiful, old building - the tasteful decor brings the place subtly up to date, while keeping its period charm.
positive:
Value for money, particularly with the generous breakfast.
Guests generally praise the comfort and service they receive throughout their stay, and many say that it's great value for money. This seems particularly true for breakfast-lovers, as the Full English is included in the price.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Lots of stairs to climb if you are in one of the top rooms.
The Grosvenor's period building is not exactly designed for modern lifts, so there are a lot of stairs to hike up if you have a room on the fifth floor. If you have mobility problems, guests recommend requesting a ground-floor room in advance.
negative:
Wi-Fi provisio can be patchy at times.
While many guests don't seem to have a problem logging on, some have reported issues with accessing the Wi-Fi from their room, either because of weak connections or trouble with the log-in screen.
negative:
The free parking is somewhat limited.
While the Grosvenor does offer free, onsite parking, it is liable to fill up quickly. Most guests don't have a problem, but if you end up parking on the street, be aware that charges are in operation.
