Okay for one night. Wouldn’t return.
We had a twin - room 15. Awful smell in room. Like old cheese and wet dog? We had to go out and buy some air freshener. Luckily the windows open wide so we could get some ventilation.
No wifi. Apparently out for a week. Not told before arrival.
Beds were uncomfortable and could feel the springs through the mattress. Shower was not powerful - like a weak hosepipe pressure. Toilet took a long time to refill so we couldn’t flush it if one of us wanted to use the toilet within an hour of each other.
Room was spacious. Parking was great; good location central in town, but
there are much better places to stay in Newquay and we wouldn’t return unfortunately.
To start with the photo did not reflect the actual situation of the hotel which was on the busy Newquay main road. The room was tiny a very small space to safely move around also had inadequate lightinh, it was either full on or pitch black at night. The bathroom I believe woukd not have passed health and safety standards due to the shower being dangerously small to get in and out of, we are normal size not obese but struggled using it. Also toilet seat hanging off almost. The restaurant food was very average not good or bad just what you would expect from a below average hotel. The majority of the sraff were friendly except the evening bar person who was bordrrline rude. No wifi for all of the trip even though it was advertised as useable and free. All in all tge worst hotel we have ever used in our many trips to Cornwall.
Breakfast had a lot of variety to choose from the staff are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend going again. Car Park was okay didn’t realise Phil Tufnell was talking
As always a very friendly welcome.
Window handle in our room was broken but was fixed while we were down having breakfast. Which by the way the food is great.
Property in excellent position for all Newquay has to offer. Rooms ok, no bedside light, excellent bathroom, shower. Breakfast adequate. Limited fresh fruit. Parking very good and free. Staff ok bar one.

Very comfortable stay in clean, well appointed accommodation with free parking on site. Excellent location so 10/10
Great location by the beach; Lovely breakfast; Nice coffee; Amazing sea view from the window; Staff were friendly; Free parking and lots of shops, supermarkets and restaurants around. Definitely staying again.
Clean room. Nice size shower. Nice breakfast. Good selection in restaurant.
Water pressure in shower and toilet flush not good. Warm water out of cold tap.
The stay was comfortable but I personally found the bed too soft and I didn't have a great night sleep but that's a personal preference. Service was great our breakfast waitress was so lovely and helpful.
Great hotel in the middle of Newquay. Surrounded by bars, shops and eateries. Took my dog with me who was made very welcome. Great breakfast and plenty of parking. Have stayed many times and will do again in the future. Many thanks to all.

The property is slightly outdated but staff tries to keep it in a good condition. My only issue with the room was water pressure in a shower, it was non existent. It was a real challenge to wash all the sand off. The breakfast lady is great, very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The reception staff rather distant and hard to find. Property has a great location and has its own parking which helps as the town has almost no parking spaces. It is also super close to the beach.
