Regus Drake Circus takes the crown at £8.25 per hour, though Oceansgate's Endeavour House boardroom at £10 per hour offers remarkable value with parking included. Plymouth RMA matches that £10 hourly rate with simple online booking, while library spaces like Efford and Crownhill start at £15 per hour for commercial use.
The sweet spot for value hunters? Book a half-day at Plumer House for £60, which includes unlimited tea and coffee, or grab Plymouth Central Library's Moxon Room for £35 per half-day. These civic venues often outperform private operators on both price and facilities.
THINQTANQ near West Hoe delivers the best independent value at £25 per hour for their 8-10 person room, complete with kitchen access. Market Hall in Devonport starts at £30 for two hours in their tech-enabled meeting room, rising to £100 for a half-day boardroom session.
At the premium end, BLOCK Workspace at Royal William Yard runs approximately £20-45 per hour through booking platforms, though the heritage setting and on-site café justify the extra spend. Venaspace at The Apex in Derriford charges £40-60 per hour but includes modern facilities and hospital district convenience.
Future Inn Derriford consistently delivers with DDR from £29 per person, including their dedicated meetings floor and free parking. Boringdon Park golf club undercuts even that with Bronze packages from £24.95 per person for full-day sessions, though you'll need transport to reach Plympton.
Watch for seasonal deals at Crowne Plaza Plymouth, where summer DDR packages have dropped to £26 per person. For smaller groups, Plumer House's inclusive half-day packages work out cheaper than most DDRs when you factor in their unlimited refreshments and multiple room options.
Within 12 minutes' walk, you'll find both Regus Drake Circus (from £8.25/hour) and Plymouth Central Library (£10-20/hour depending on room size). The library's Scott Room splits into two sections if you need flexibility, while Regus offers multiple configurations for interviews through to training sessions.
Slightly further at 20 minutes' walk, THINQTANQ provides creative space for £25 per hour, and Regus Sutton Harbour starts at £13.75 per hour with waterfront views. The city centre cluster means you're never more than a brief walk from affordable options.
Derriford Business Park offers surprising value with Venaspace at The Apex (£40-60/hour) and Future Inn's eight meeting rooms nearby. The Oceansgate Enterprise Zone near Devonport Dockyard stands out with Endeavour House's £10 per hour boardroom, while City Business Park in Stoke provides council-managed rooms at "reasonable rates" typically around £15-25 per hour.
For tech businesses, Market Hall in Devonport's tech quarter combines affordability (from £30/2 hours) with the right atmosphere for startup meetings. The A38 corridor venues like Regus at The Range (£19.25/hour) suit businesses needing easy parking and motorway access.
Plymouth's library network offers exceptional value across the city. Central Library leads with four rooms from £10-20 per hour, while neighbourhood libraries like Southway and Plymstock offer 40-person capacity at just £20 per hour. St Budeaux and Devonport libraries match this rate with characterful settings in listed buildings.
The hidden advantage? All library rooms include projector and sound equipment in the base price, plus they offer discounted rates for community groups. Book Crownhill Library for £15 per hour near Plumer House, or combine multiple Efford Library sessions at £45 per half-day for ongoing training needs.
Oceansgate's Endeavour House delivers Plymouth's best boardroom value at £10 per hour for 10 seats, complete with superfast broadband and dockyard security. Plymouth CAST in Manadon offers small boardrooms at £17 per hour including parking, while THINQTANQ's 8-10 person room at £25 per hour adds creative flair to executive meetings.
For larger boards, Market Hall's 15-seat boardroom runs £100 per half-day, or book Falcon Business Centre near Langage from £20 per session. The Regus network provides consistency across four Plymouth locations, with Drake Circus offering the sharpest rates for quick board meetings.
Libraries dominate this category with Southway Library accommodating 40 theatre-style for £20 per hour, dividable into two smaller training spaces. Central Library's Scott Room handles 20 classroom-style at the same rate, while Plymstock and Plympton libraries offer similar capacities with free parking.
Plumer House excels for professional training with rooms up to 24 seats from £60 per half-day including refreshments. For creative training, book Market Hall's Workspace 1 for up to 32 people at £120 per half-day, or try Ocean Studios at Royal William Yard for design-focused sessions.

Oceansgate, Plymouth CAST, and Falcon Business Centre all include parking in their budget rates, while Plumer House in Crownhill offers ample free parking with their £60 half-day packages.
The Regus locations at The Range and Eurotech House cater to drivers with easy parking, though Boringdon Park in Plympton offers the most stress-free parking experience. City centre options like libraries often have nearby pay-and-display, but venues like Plymstock Library on The Broadway include free short-stay parking.
Regus locations excel at last-minute bookings with hourly rates from £8.25 at Drake Circus. Plymouth RMA offers instant online booking at £10 per hour, while THINQTANQ typically has same-day availability at £25 per hour. Library rooms can often accommodate last-minute commercial bookings, particularly Efford and Devonport at £15-20 per hour.
Hotels like Future Inn frequently discount unused meeting rooms on quiet weekdays, while community venues like Tothill Community Centre (£13/hour) rarely book solid.
