Awful hotel. Rooms are filthy and the entire building is run down. None of the rooms look anything like how they were advertised, bathrooms have mould growing and none of the items in the room eg. the tissue box have been cleaned let alone restocked.

Pleasant room in convenient location

After travelling in a very elderly lift and negotiating a labyrinth of out-dated and somewhat scruffy corridors, our light bright and spacious room was something of a surprise. Although it was essentially a white box with a view of the bins, some attractive furniture and soft furnishings in sea-side colours gave it a lot of charm. The bathroom was also spacious, light and bright. It was all spotlessly clean and well-equipped with all the basics including good-quality tea, coffee and biscuits. With its convenient location near to the station and lots of restaurants and its cliff-top position, the Great Western is a great and good value base in Newquay

The hotel was amazing with exceptional service and clean with an excellent view from our room and idealy situated, the only very big downside is the amojnt of dogs that were in the hotel and alowed in the dining room, a big no no for me although I love pets, on one occasion my wife was walking into the restaurant and nearly stepped in dogs mess that was on the floor in the dinning room were we were eating our breakfast you need to address this problem for health reasons, unfortunately for this problem I will not be returning to this hotel any time soon. Unfortunately.
