Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms available at the Duke Of Cornwall Hotel, with bathrooms that include both a shower and a bathtub in some cases. The hotel's central location is a plus, placing guests within walking distance of the ocean and close to the Plymouth Pavilion. Many find the breakfast very good and complete, although some have noted that the hotel shows signs of age. Conveniently, there's a private car park behind the hotel for those arriving by car.

The room had a king bed and a single bed. The shower had excellent water pressure. The hotel location is good. It is directly opposite the pavilions. The breakfast staff was nice. I found vegan options identified on the menu, that was helpful. The staff were friendly. The hotel felt cosy and warm.
