Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Mariners Guest House is generally considered a great place to stay in Plymouth, within easy walking distance to the ferry terminal and the city centre. Guests often find the rooms cozy and spotlessly clean, some overlooking a green roof, with comfortable beds and nice-sized TVs; some rooms can be a bit small and have limited natural light. Many appreciate the delicious continental breakfast included, with the option to order a cooked breakfast for an extra charge, creating a sociable atmosphere in the dining room.

fresh pastries coffee facilities

The staff was really nice. i got fresh baked pastries upon arrival, and they were delicious. i also appreciated the coffee and tea facilities available 24/7. It was very convenient. the fresh milk in the fridge was a great touch. We loved it.

the off-street parking nearby cost four pounds overnight. it was a bit more than i expected

insufficient illumination noticeable noise

My recent lodging was adequate, but some aspects require attention. the bedside lamp lacked sufficient illumination for reading, a definite inconvenience. noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable. Soundproofing should be examined. i expected a higher standard for a guesthouse that has a good score.

street noise limited breakfast

The room i had faced the street, it got quite noisy early in the morning. i also found the breakfast a bit limited. There was not much variety beyond the standard items. the fruit selection was particularly disappointing, and some of the pastries seemed stale. it seemed like more attention could be given to the quality and freshness of the food offered. the bed was also quite hard. It was difficult to get a good night's sleep.
