Myself and my friends recently stayed at the Sydney Guest House and were bitterly disappointed with our experience. The property certainly had 'character' but was greatly outdated and in desperate need of modernising. Our room was inadequately laid out (no view of TV from single bed), had a broken window which wasn't allowed to be open, uncomfortable mattresses and disgusting... More

On arrival greeted by the hosts who were friendly and informative. They then , on a freezing cold day switched on the heating which when it warmed up brought out the musty smell which permeated through every thing in the room . T.V , Wi-Fi and bed not adequate for the price charged , paid for two nights but left... More

Friendly welcome. Clean room, decoration a little dated. Tiny TV up in the corner of the room. Wi-Fi advertised available in all rooms but that simply isn't the case, could only get a weak signal by one window. The bed is simply terrible, lumpy and can feel the springs digging in.

I have no qualms with the quality of this guest house. Although the interior does seem a bit dated, this hotel has wi-fi, a warm interior, a standard shower and the couple that own it are wonderful too. This guest house does provide breakfast but unfortunately this is a Meditteranean breakfast. If this hotel provided a full english breakfast it... More

I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere in my life. The land lady was incredibly rude and made me feel like a child. When she opened the door she didn't even say hello or give a friendly smile, she was very abrupt, just looking at us in disgust and saying 'yes?' and she then questioned us quite aggressively about why...

My dad paid for this b&b for me as a birthday gift for my 19th and we now wish he had picked somewhere else. The lady that greeted us (If you can call it that) didn't even smile or say hello at the door and treated me and my friends as if we were children; I was made to feel... More

Stayed in ground floor family room. Warm welcome. Good room if a little musty. Great breakfast, egg or beans on toast, cereal, croissants, fruit, toast. Tea and coffee. Exactly what we wanted from a bed and breakfast and would definitely stay there again. Fantastic location, a ten minute walk from the centre of Plymouth. Sydney Guest House is also a... More

Youth Hostel would be better! No customer service at all. Given no choice for breakfast and was like sitting in my Granny's front room.
