A Warm Welcome to Ocean Stays by Smart Welcomes; a beautifully refurbished boutique property offering 16 thoughtfully styled rooms across five floors. Once a traditional guest house, the property was transformed in 2020 into a modern coastal retreat, where contemporary design meets homely comfort. Perfectly located just a short stroll from the iconic Plymouth Hoe, the historic Barbican, and the bustling waterfront, Ocean Stays by Smart Welcomes places you right at the heart of the city’s most loved attractions. Whether you’re visiting for business, a romantic escape, or a longer seaside stay, our boutique haven combines stylish interiors with practical amenities to ensure every guest enjoys a truly memorable experience.



Each of our rooms has been finished to a high standard with comfort and convenience in mind. Guests can choose from a selection of cosy single and double rooms, spacious king and superior king rooms for those seeking an added touch of luxury, or versatile twin rooms ideal for friends or family travelling together. Every room includes a fridge, microwave, tea and coffee station, TV, hair dryer, mirror, and a complete set of crockery and cutlery – everything you need for a comfortable stay. For those who enjoy a little more independence, our king and twin rooms feature a handy kitchenette with hob, sink, and drainer, perfect for longer visits or self-catering. And if you’d prefer to leave cooking behind, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at our sister property, The Imperial, just a three-minute stroll away.



Ocean Stays has been designed to make every guest feel right at home, with modern styling that reflects its coastal surroundings. Its central location means you’re never far from the action: take a leisurely walk along the Hoe with its sweeping sea views, wander through the cobbled streets of the Barbican, explore Plymouth’s rich maritime history, or indulge in the city’s vibrant dining and shopping scene. With Theatre Royal Plymouth, the National Marine Aquarium, and the waterfront ferry terminals all within easy reach, you’ll find no shortage of ways to fill your days.



Whether you’re here for work, relaxation, or adventure, Ocean Stays by Smart Welcomes offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm – a boutique stay that allows you to experience Plymouth at its very best.
