Great stay

Lovely position, easy access to get there by trains & buses, over looking 1 of the fantastic beaches
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location in beautiful St Ives. Close to station, Porthminster Beach and a bustling harbour with lovely shops and restaurants. Very nice staff. Large, Comfortable room overlooking sea. Due to hotel only having a couple of parking spaces, the nearest car park was down a steep hill with lots of steps which would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

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

Ray, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, bad and ugly

St. Ives is an inspiring location and the cliff top hotel opens out onto some stunning sea scapes whether from bedrooms, dining or communal rest areas. The staff are generally good and pleasant, the breakfast really very good plus, rooms are of a good size. However all areas of the hotel are shabby, smelly, and in a very poor state of repair, or rather disrepair, and maintenance; there are around 6 car park spaces for more than 80 rooms; no provision whatsoever for “disabled” guest parking; the hotel is so inaccessible with lots of stairs across sloping levels, no ramps and a single, poor, limited access elevator that you wonder if the hotel complies in any way with the Equalities Act!! So, beware and be warned, the hotel is not for the faint hearted or those lacking mobility.
Inaccessible entrance
Stained and smelly carpets
Poor finishing
Flaking, poor paintwork everywhere

4/10 Fair

Worst bedroom ever

Walls dirty, very hot no air conditioning, 1 table fan that too far away
Shubert, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

Kind and hospitable staff, a clean and tidy room. Food was reminiscent of home cooked breakfasts. I hope to return next year to enjoy the sights and sounds of st ives , and the ever welcoming atmosphere of this hotel
Aiden, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Single ensuite room was great: big and comfortable. Had a nice surprise to get a sea view which wasn't expecting. Bathroom needed an update but did the job. Window difficult to close as so high up.
Fiona, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very dated and grubby

When I got there to check in the was 2 people from other rooms complaining about the condition of their rooms. Hotel room was clean enough (i.e shower/bed) but very dated, and run down, dirty walls, carpets etc all around the whole hotel. Breakfast was ok
