Is it true that you were Plymouth's first Dementia Friendly Hotel?

Yes, and we are so very proud to have been. You can read more about our journey to become Dementia Friendly here.

How do I know my reservation is confirmed?

When you book direct with us, either via email, on our website or by phone, you will receive a conformation email or letter that has all the information you require on your booking.

Does the hotel need a deposit or a payment in advance?

On a standard individual booking, we don’t take a deposit from you, it’s full payment on arrival. This is unless you have booked a NON-REFUNDABLE rate, then we take payment at the time of booking.

Do I need a credit card to make a booking with you?

Yes, a credit card or debit card is required at the time of booking to confirm your reservation.

Do I need photographic ID when I arrive?

Yes; proof of identification will be required if you are paying by cash upon check in, also if you are a non UK citizen. Passports & driving licences are acceptable. 

Why am I being asked for photographic ID?

We promise that there is no hidden agenda or that we are trying to be difficult. If our reception team ask you for photographic ID, we promise it is not a personal attack simply a legal requirement when paying by cash. Under the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972, all hotels, boarding houses, etc. must keep a record of the full name (and nationality if non UK) of their guests over the age of 16 years, with every effort made to ensure the ‘name’ given is the person checking in. For non UK citizens, we must also record the number and place of issue of their passport, their nationality and their next destination. We must then keep records of this information for at least 12 months and it must also be available for inspection by any official if requested.

Any hotel who is found not to comply when inspected would be charged with committing an offence, the offence carries a fine or  imprisonment for the person responsible for not following the law.

Full information can be found on the order here, but if you have any questions, do please call us and we would be more than happy to help. 

Wait! My question hasn't been answered!

That doesn’t mean it’s not a valid question and we would love to hear from you, not only to answer your queries but also so we can add it to the list. If you have thought to ask, someone else is wondering too! Please call or email us and we would be happy to help, Call: 01752 276798 Email: reception@newcontinental.co.uk
