The lobby’s and dinning areas where clean and nice but the room I was in “21”well it needs to be taken out of service, all the wall was showing mould had been there previous and just painted over, pipes in corner of room had mould and rust pulled the bed out away from wall covered in mould, carpet had holes in all over, bed mattress and base needed throwing away. Can’t say anything about other rooms as I only had access to the room I was in. wouldn’t stay here again. If I could upload photos I would :( :(

The hotel is situated in an ideal spot, very close to the town and a number of beaches. The staff were excellent and the hotel was very nicely decorated ready for the xmas period. The breakfast was absolutely excellent with everything piping hot. Parking at the hotel is very poor but there is local car park parking by the train station a short walk away (albeit up a lot of steps and up hill). The hotel is very dated and the rooms themselves need redecorating and brought up to date. Compared to other hotels and B&Bs this was very cheap in the area and maybe you understand why when you see the interior. We stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting family in the area which was ideal, but if you had booked it expecting a nice modern hotel you would be disappointed.

This hotel was probably the worst Hotel we have ever checked into. So much so that within 10 mins we found alternative accommodation for the weekend. This hotel is horrifically outdated, poorly kept, dirty, very smelly the place generally feels unsafe. The room was horrendous with "clean me" etched into a thick layer of dust on the wall. Unfortunately, I can't give any further feedback as we left as soon as we could, although the person on reception was friendly and warned us the water may take some time to heat up! Don't be fooled by the location and photos! Stay somewhere else or sleep on the beach.

We were apprehensive after reading previous reviews, however we were positively surprised. Our family room was large and spacious and the beds very comfortable. The deco is dated but everything was clean, the staff lovely and what a view!! If you want luxury, 5* accommodation, this isn't for you. If you want a comfortable, friendly hotel to stay in while having easy access to the town centre of St Ives, this is it.
