Big room, comfy beds, decent bathroom a fan. Free WiFi. Short walk to carpark but steep hill or lots of steps. Ten minute walk into town. Didn't try any food or have our room serviced. Reception staff were pleasant on check in and check out.

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.

Just no

Well, what can I say. I wish I'd looked at the reviews not just the price. Before I start, have to say the staff were lovely. So, this hotel was probably fine in 1995. But I doubt it has had any maintenance work since then. I'm talking threadbare carpets, weird reinforced glass, beds where your feet are higher than your head, scuffs and damaged paintwork everywhere you can imagine, we didn't even try the shower over the bath - it was too terrifying. The overall feeling was one of the sort of old peoples home where you would send your wicked stepmother and hope to never see her again

Hotel had a welcoming man at desk. Nice lounges but we had our little dog with us, so unfortunately couldn’t use facilities. Room was large with amazing views, bathroom in need for an upgrade. Position was perfect to leisurely stroll into St Ives.

Initially given the wrong room but thankfully issue was resolved. Windows could have used a clean and TV is very small. Lovely view of the beach and free parking outside if you’re quick enough. Walk down to the town is nice, back up the hill not so much. One funny thing that happened was when I dropped a multivitamin and it rolled underneath the bed, upon trying to retrieve it I pulled out a viagra which was a surprise. Hotel slightly dated the convenience and welcoming staff make for this.
