This Hotel truly has seen better days. The rooms are tired and need updating. Honestly not fit to stay here really as the carpets are worn and dirty, paintwork is tired and not been done for many years. This is unfortunately a place that doent have much longer to go before it closes. Please save this place because it is in a lovely location

Room was adequate-had all necessary facilities and seemed clean. Carpets in corridors and decor look old and worn-looks like they need an update.

The hotel is quite traditional with a certain smell that characterises its age. Our room is old fashioned with basic amenities.

The room was dirty and the toilet was not flushing. The exhaust in the toilet wasn’t working so it was smelly the whole stay. Only good thing about the stay was the beach who was just 10 mins walk. Otherwise, wouldn’t recommend the stay at all.

Far below expectations

The hotel is very very dated. The bathroom was particularly small, we are slender builds and anyone bigger would be very uncomfortable. The beds/mattresses were uncomfortable. The room was so hot and window didn’t open more than 3inches. For £100 per night, expected for comfort all round.

The staff are amazing at this hotel. The breakfast was great and buffet with porridge/a range of cereals /fruit/yogurt etc. lovely bread too! We had a sea view and it was amazing looking over the beach and the small train . Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel team. Thank you x. We will come again soon. Ps bus stop right outside the hotel to many top places to visit. Train station a few yards away to Penzance, st Erth and more!

Feel hot in the room.

Room view is excellent but room 301 is so hot that I found difficult to fall asleep. It is better if I cant open the window wider and let cool and fresh air into the room to decrease the room tempereture and increase the comfort of residents.
