About New Continental Hotel
The New Continental Hotel occupies a Grade II listed Victorian building on Millbay Road, directly opposite Plymouth Pavilions and within easy walking distance of the Hoe. Run under the Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western and managed by Legacy Hotels & Resorts, it is one of the larger independent hotels in this part of the city, with 99 bedrooms and ample on-site parking, a genuine advantage in central Plymouth.
Rooms are decorated in a straightforward, comfortable style typical of a well-run business and leisure hotel, with a range of standard, superior and family options across the building's several floors. The Club Continental leisure complex includes a heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room and gym, along with beauty treatments, giving guests a reason to stay on site between sightseeing trips.
Steve's Brasserie serves dinner from Monday to Saturday evening, alongside function and meeting spaces used for weddings, conferences and events. The hotel's scale and facilities make it a practical choice for groups and business travellers as well as couples and families wanting a central base without the higher rates of the smaller boutique hotels nearby.
Its location opposite Plymouth Pavilions puts entertainment, ice skating and swimming on the doorstep, with the Hoe a short walk in one direction and the ferry port in the other. The New Continental suits visitors who want a reliable, moderately priced city-centre hotel with parking and a pool rather than a smaller independent alternative.

What guests say
Everything was pretty okay, but nothing was great or fantastic. The location is a bonus because it's very close to the centre. Reasonable parking at £7 per day. Our room was just fine. There were stains all over the carpet, the furniture was pretty outdated, the duvet had a rip in it. There was a TV, although very small. Our room was on the side of the busy road, meaning you could hear quite loudly the busy nightlife from the Spoons on the weekend. The Wi-Fi kept logging you out after about 12 hours or after you left the premisis, and took ages to let you back in. It was also rather slow. There is a gym and pool, although you have to check in with a receptionist to use it and the hours are fine but not great if you're out all day and want to use it late at night (closes at 8pm). We found the hallways rather narrow with a lot of doors you had to keep opening to get to the room, which was quite awkward with luggage as the doors liked to swing back at you pretty quickly after opening. For the price, it's acceptable, but there's a lot of things I think could definitely be better.

I had to leave a review as soon as I could for the amazing staff at the hotel! Shout out to the receptionist (Hariet) who was super nice and friendly. The hotel is not very far from the city centre and also the Plymouth Hoe, there's parking inside at a small fee of £7 per night and the rooms are very nice and clean too!

Booked a single room at £109 a night, the room was not worth the price, really needs updating, had a small smart TV but was hotel locked so couldn't use it as a smart tv, luckily I install AV equipment so could easily unlock it but thats not the point, room was basically in the roof and really cramped, it was also really hot and stuffy, found it hard to fall asleep especially with the 2 bits of tissue paper they call pillows, also the changing rooms for the swimming pool stunk of stale urine and loomed lime they hadn't been cleaned for days, on the plus note the restaurant was amazing, and so much cheaper than I thought it was going to be, waitress and the staff in general were spot on, could not fault the service, the hotel in general needs an update, the room I was in definitely did not match the price, maybe £55-60 but then again the hotel is situated right between the hoe and the city centre so I can see why the price is what it is, Would I stay here again? Yes I would, but the prices need to be adjusted.

I regularly visit Plymouth and always wanted to stay here as I love traditional hotels. Great stay, lovely single room, fully equipped and spotlessly clean. All the staff I met were really good, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit!
