Nice but not for price… over rated reviews.

Nice room, however checking took too long as reception was really slow and made mistakes. Bed was too firm, uncomfortable night sleep leading to constant tossing and turning. Decor and room was well presented however price was too high for what it is was, wouldn’t stay again as I don’t believe it is worth the price tag. Standard luxury room with a price tag much higher than other place… but no extras included.

A fantastic stay and what an experience! Would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Great friendly welcome and everyone here could not do enough for you. The room was amazing and had the best nights sleep. We had a complimentary soft drink mini bar which was a nice touch. Bathroom was amazing too. We didn't eat here in the evening as had lunch at Rick Steins in Padstow, however, really enjoyed breakfast. Really can't wait to stay here again. THANK YOU Bodmin Jail Hotel, we will be back.

Hotel facilities and service absolutely outstanding, balanced between comfy, modern hotel and... Obviously a former jail beautifully. Bar area and restaurant found it difficult to balance this in my opinion, hi end bar but excess to the public and dogs etc made it messy and the food in the restaurant in the evening was a little underwhelming for the money. The service was brilliant from every member of staff encountered.

Stayed three nights. First night booked via hotel. Second and third nights cheaper through Expedia…. Hotel would NOT price match as their website states!! Rooms AMAZING… but make sure you ask for a room with stone walls and ceilings to get the full cell vibe… our first room had mainly white painted walls and white ceilings… When I realised I asked to move rooms and eventually it was sorted. Reception staff friendly but need more training in customer service. The housekeeper was more helpful and professional… she was fab and should really be on the front desk or working as dining staff rather than cleaning rooms!!! Was a great experience, real unique and was fun staying in a prison and I would definitely recommend for couples and families alike!!
