    Window didn't fully close so very noisy. Thick layers of dust and grime. Bed comfortable just about passable. Very worn areas all over the hotel, piles of sawdust around. Not many PowerPoint in the room. It is perfectly acceptable that they are a dry hotel due to religion but this should be more obvious when booking. Claustrophobic lifts. Photos on website far exceeded really look.

    Friendly staff. Good lo location. Upgraded to beach view. Parking spot in front of hotel. Dance lessons, unfortunately we missed it though.

    The hotel was a little rundown, but the beds and bathroom were clean. The double bed was small, I had to share with my daughter as it would be too small for 2 adults.

    We liked the fact that dogs were welcomed. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was conveniently located for quieter beaches and a grassed area to walk the dogs.

    Old hotel, limited facilities. Courtyard from our room 2 birds remained overnight, making noise, obviously out of the hotels control, but this triggered a husky to howl, disturbing other dogs. Again, this is uncontrollable by staff but they did try to rectify.

    The location is good and dog friendly.

    Disgusting, Horrendous smell of wet dog. Shake and vac sprinkled everywhere and not hoovered up trying to disguise the smell but not working. Really strong smell that was in the room and corridors. The button to call the lift to floor 2 doesn’t work, we were on floor 2 with a baby and a pram and needed the lift. One adult had to go downstairs to press take the lift up to floor 2 and then down to reception. But no good when only one adult present had to bump the pram down the stairs to floor 1 and then get the lift. Frequently asked asked questions suggest you cannot pre book car parking, it states first come first served. I parked on arrival and was told that space was booked. When questioned was told you can only book if your staying 3 or 4 nights. I was staying 3 nights. Had to move car and pay locally. If I knew I had to pre book car parking I would have done so as we had a lot of luggage and a small baby, pram, travel cot travel high chair and luggage to unload and load at the end of our stay.

    Good location and seas view. Friendly welcoming staff on reception. Clean bedding and bathroom.

    Blood and snot smeared on the bathroom walls, dust or some form of debris in the bed, windows that look like they've never seen a cloth, corridors are filthy with ill fitted and ragged carpets and I had the privilege of paying £180 a night for this, without breakfast! I've stayed in hostels that are cleaner than this! We stayed the previous night in the Great Western across the road, for less money, in a bigger, cleaner, better equipped room, with breakfast included. Do yourselves a favour and book in there instead. Avoid this dump

    The receptionist was pleasant

    It's a shame it's lost its former grandeur. There was some questioning over my room which I booked as a double is in fact listed as a single with a double bed - it made me question my booking over booking.com but it was what I booked.

    The view over the beach was incredible, especially as I was top floor. The room was tired but clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were really helpful especially with advice for the Boardmasters weekend.

    The hotel as other have said is very tired and could have been cleaner. I think that due to prices being inflated due to the festival it didn’t feel like good value for money as I’ve paid less for a much higher standard and I wouldn’t return unless it was much cheaper.

    We booked this hotel on the day and there was very limited availability in Newquay and due to a festival being held in the town prices were highest than usual. The staff at check in were helpful and advised us of parking nearby as all the hotel parking was full. They also allowed us to check in early which was was really helpful. We had a sea view and the view was lovely. All staff we dealt with were very friendly. It’s in a good location.

    No information at reception or in room ! We were hoping to have breakfast following morning and was told we had to reserve of which we had no idea as no information provided. Lucky for us we were booked into a neighbouring hotel following night and they could accommodate us for a really tasty breakfast. And information provided was a welcome. 🙏

    Location was perfect for a event !

    Felt very dirty with stained carpets and walls. Rusty towel rail and weak shower. Window was also not cleaned (had a foggy cover from sea breeze), had to clean it ourselves Extortionate price for that you get.

    Amazing view of the sea from the third floor! Decent bed, has all you need for a couple nights. Staff tried to be helpful when we asked for relocation but the other room smelt like feet. Highlight of the room was the seagull that would visit our window
