We have stayed here many times over the last few years,this time we booked through booking.com as it was a lot cheaper than booking direct which always baffles me as they must pay them commission,anyway go standard room with breakfast,we were put in room 20 which is small with a small bathroom and shower,it was just ok without being nice but we wasn’t there long so as I said served it’s purpose,we have booked superior room again for our next visit which I would suggest to get as it’s a lot better

“Lovely stay for work”

Nice hotel situated in the heart of St Ives. I found if you got there too early parking was a bit of an issue - in hindsight I should've parked up in Waitrose & waited for the market to finish so I could park outside on the street.

Nice hotel situated in the heart of St Ives. I found if you got there too early parking was a bit of an issue - in hindsight I should've parked up in Waitrose & waited for the market to finish so I could park outside on the street. Rooms were very nice & were packed with everything you'd need including an iron. Didn't eat in the restaurant but bar staff were fantastic!

This was our third stay at this hotel and again, had a great experience. Arrived before check in but staff were happy to put our case in the office, however 10 minutes later we were told we our room was ready which was great. Due to a special offer, I had booked an upgraded room, this was located at the front of the hotel. Whilst it was exceptionally clean and warm, the only thing that felt luxurious was a spa bath so I probably wouldn't upgrade again. Unfortunately the noise from outside late at night kept us awake as there is no soundproofing on the windows - I assume because its a listed building. Not sure if something could be done to block some of the noise but wouldn't want to stay in that room again. We didn't eat in the restaurant apart from breakfast, but it seemed busy and the menu looked nice. Breakfast was lovely, you have several hot choices from a menu, some pastries, fruit pots, cereals and yoghurts. I went for a full english which was perfect for me. All staff are very friendly and work hard. St Ives is a lovely little market town with a few shops, coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. Car parking is located 2 mins walk away and only £4 for 24 hours, no fee on a Sunday.

“A wake review”

A very tired building with hard working staff trying to keep the customers happy. They are understaffed and need more help from the company management . The food was inconsistent as the not all the chefs could cook and the cleaners were trying hard to clean a property that needs a refurb.
