ok this is not the fault of the staff but more the fault of Expedia ..when we booked the hotel it was a last minute thing having already been badly let down by BOOKING .CON ..the hotel is very tired and worn rooms are very grubby and dated with stained carpets everywhere peeling paint etc .it was more on the lines of a DHSS HMO .. it was advertised as having a restaurant and bar ..NO it doesn't .the staff were as helpful as you possibly wish for and actually gave us the choice of 3 different rooms as we were there and really couldn't be bothered with trying to find anywhere else we settled for the best .the beds were extremely comfortable ( surprisingly ) and the view was terrific .we managed I think because we had so much trouble with booking .com we just accepted it .

Budget dated hotel. Great location, friendly staff

Location is excellent. Central in Newquay and right on the sea front ovelooking Tolcarne beach. Easy to walk to and lovely sandy beach. All staff very friendly and helpful. However hotel is very dated and run down. Please see photo of actual room there. So different from the photos upgraded to another room when complained.There is no parking included however from October to April can park for free on nearby roads.

Don’t use this hotel

Room 47 Bedroom was disgraceful.Carpets were filthy. Kettle cable too short to reach from socket to table ,had to leave it on floor. Toilet water from cistern dipping constantly. No alcohol served in hotel .Also no pork allowed to be served for food. Check there is no dance events scheduled as we were not informed so noise till 3 am . Fire alarms went off twice in the night and once in the morning.

Great location on the main road into the town opposite one of the main beaches in Newquay and within a short walk of the town centre amenities. The communal areas are really nice and the welcome excellent. The main room was okay with a comfortable bed and modern TV. The green-coloured bathroom was the biggest disappointment which was in need of renovation and a very good clean. Offered value for money out of season and would stay again

The property is right in front of the sea. Beautiful view from my room. The radiator did not work but when i wpoke to reception, straightaway i was given a heater. The toilet flushing system was bad. You had to wait a long time for it to fill up before flushing.

I would have given this a much higher rating if I wasn’t disturbed 2 out of the 3 nights I stayed due to a faulty fire alarm going off in the early hours of the morning. I could forgive one night not two It also suggests there is adequate parking onsite and made me think I’d be able to park at the hotel however when I arrived there were only a handful of places, that I was only informed on arrival, were already booked. This would be helpful if it were explained that you have to park a way from the hotel before booking

A disappointment

The hotel is very dated and in much need of a revamp and a good clean. The room was not as advertised and in a poor state of repair. We decided to check out after only one night. The receptionist was very helpful and booked us into a sister hotel in St Mawes which was a lovely hotel with a nice room and much higher standard of finish

Was good but room on 3rd floor and for all stay lift broken. Very little parking spaces available good job we came in time when manage to snatch one otherwise not sure where I would park. Walls not pained on corridors . Water tap splashed all over us everytime we switched it on. Toilet filling was noisy like if some builders were in. Walls transparent could hear every conversation going in other room.
