    I really can't think of anything. Just to mention, though, there is a building site next door, another hotel ? We came in May half term 2024, BUT there was no noise or work being carried out on it when we visited. It did not impact on our stay.

    This hotel was exactly as described very near the beach and a bit further to the town which is totally walkable. Also walking distance to the railway station. Great as we came on the train. Sea views from the restaurant are lovely. We found it extremely clean. It's the cleanest hotel I've stayed in in many years. The family room was very roomy - great for a weeks stay for myself and my teenage son. There is plenty to eat at breakfast and is a buffet style breakfast. Evening meal delicious and meals are generous. The pool areas again clean and as described. Nothing not to like, really.

    The breakfast choices were limited and quality was poor. Left a lot to be desired. The room walls and floors appeared thin - you could hear easily guests walking above you and talking to the side of you.

    Room was light, clean & tidy. The staff were pleasant

    The walls were thin, so you could hear other guests who were noisy and inconsiderate at night. However, the night manager was quick to act on complaints, and guests were politely asked to keep noise to a minimum.

    We originally booked for one night in a sea view room, the Saturday, but we then decided to book an additional night for the Friday. I emailed the hotel and booked a standard double for the Friday as it was considerably cheaper. When we arrived, the manager Rado (I assume he was the manager anyway) comped us with an upgrade to our Seaview room as it wasn't being used that night. All staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Julie was especially friendly and helpful. Parking was £5 per night but the hotel was happy for us to keep our car on the carpark until we left on the Sunday. We parked in the rear carpark which was secured at night. Our room was clean and suited our needs, and the view was great. We used the pool and sauna on the Saturday afternoon, and we had it to ourselves for a good hour. We were slso welcome to use the facilities after checkout on the Sunday. The town is a five minute walk away along the cliff road and there's a Tesco Express virtually next to the hotel. We will definitely stop again, next time we're in Newquay :)

    Short stay did what was required in a nice way!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Bed was rather firm so the first night I slept "inside" the duvet - so giving extra padding! Mentioned this to Julie in the morning and requested a second duvet. This was "made" into the bed so when I checked the 2nd night, I had the extra padding which made a whole lot of difference! Breakfast: Needed larger croissants and maybe another variety, that would make the appearance far more attractive.

    Julie (reception) was really friendly & helpful (she seemed to know everything and was very efficient sorting anything out (I hope the management appreciate her). Other members of staff also very nice. Lovely room with view of the sea. Small but nice to have indoor pool (the outside pool was certainly "fresh") - also nice to have a sauna. Breakfast was simple but did what it needed to do.
