No Smoking Policy

The Invicta Hotel Plymouth operates a full non-smoking policy. Guests are invited to use the smoking bin at the front of the hotel should they wish to smoke. Please note a £100.00 cleaning charge will be applied to your account where smoking has occurred in our non-smoking bedrooms.

From Sunday 1st July 2007 smoking was banned in all areas of the hotel. Any guests giving cause for suspicion will be asked to leave and the booking will be cancelled with all charges due plus an additional room cleaning/loss of revenue charge of up to 2 nights room rate (a room that smells of smoke may not be able to be re-let until the smell is cleared). If you smoke in the room and we do not identify it until you have checked out, your card details will be charged as detailed above. This isn't our choice - we don't agree with the Smoking Ban - but value our Licence too highly to risk getting it revoked.

Each room is fitted with a highly sensitive smoke detector. This is for your safety. Any guest who smokes in the room is extremely likely to trigger the detector, the source of the smoke is indicated from the control panel so there is no doubt as to where it has originated, in addition to this the fire control system is linked directly to the Fire Brigade who also charge for false alarms and wasted call outs.

The hotel management reserves the right to judge acceptable levels of noise and behaviour of guests, in the interests of all those staying at the hotel. Please ensure that you follow any guidance which may be offered by the hotel's management when using the public areas. In extreme cases of bad behaviour, the hotel management have the right to terminate an event or eject clients from the premises without compensation. The hotel is subject to a wide range of statutory controls - for example, Fire Regulations, Bar licence controls, and health, hygiene and safety regulations. All of are customers must observe any instructions given to them by hotel staff in order to ensure that we comply fully with our legal responsibilities to you in respect of such regulations.
