st ives bay hotel

hotel in good location, the hotel is very run down and needs renovation. Bedrooms are small, we had a superior room so a bit bigger than average, but still needs updating. Breakfast was limited choice, no pastries offered.

There is no car park for this hotel. We were told ‘ you have to park to come to reception and we will explain where you can park’. On the sea front so we could hear the waves all night, that was nice. Shower was over bath and very poor.

Very disappointing! A bland basic room with ugly curtains & the handle missing off the window so it would not close securely. We were on the top floor that looked old & dirty. Up 2 steep stair cases & there was no lift. My mum is 75 & it was a real struggle for her coming & going. We wouldn’t return or recommend this hotel as it is over priced for how basic it is.

Tradition!

A traditional English seaside hotel with nice ocean views above the town to St Ives (just a short walk downhill). The room was small and neat. Breakfast was also traditonal English.

Dreadful rooms

Nice staff, damp mouldy room initially assigned was in a disgraceful condition. Changed rooms to a similar hut less mouldy room. Bed collapses on one side, only possibly to sleep on one side of it. TV worked. Shower ok.

The room I stayed was very small. And was not very clean . The toilet flash was taking ages to work. Over all for 100£ per night it was not worth it.

Extremely small room, poorly decorated and very dated. This should not be offered as a double room, the bed is barely big enough for two (even with an extremely small partner). Advertised as a sea view room but the amount of bird mess on the windows made it a very unattractive view.

Great view

Lovely view. Good location. Hotel looked a bit tired but the room was clean. Pillows were too plump. Would probably suit most people but too high for me

Property needs major revamp. When you book a superior room you expect the best. Bathroom was basic but spotless and looked new but the rest was awful. Windows just as well be open
