Stay at Great Western

This hotel could definitely do with a make over as it looks tired. My one complaint was that breakfast was not included in the price so do not believe what you read on the internet that the price includes breakfast.

The main thing that made our stay a good experience was the staff, they were doing a good job. and made time to stop and chat. they realy look after the hotel and the guests who come to stay giving a good impression.they explained about the hotels past history that it was founded by the owners who built the cross country railway. It made our stay all the more interesting.thanks to the good people in newquay cornwall. and staff in the great western hotel.

A sad hotel

The hotel was in terrible condition in looks, comfort, etc. Even the elevator was not working and lugging luggage up flights of stairs was hard and dangerous, Rooms and hotel were not accurately represented on the website. Had requested a king bed did not get, Room’s fan in bathroom was loud and wouldn’t shut off so had to move, The hotel was just in a very sad state. I would never recommend, I must say though the view was sensational.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was clean. My issues were the room was so hot it was hard to sleep at night. The street noise was disturbing so sleeping with the window open came with it’s one issues. I could not get the tap to run any cold water so we had to clean our teeth in hot water and couldn’t have a cold water drink drink.

Very close to the beach with great sea views. Unfortunately the lift was not working and the hotel was waiting to have the lift repaired, the hotel was very apologetic and this was understandably out of their control.
