Pleasant room in convenient location

After travelling in a very elderly lift and negotiating a labyrinth of out-dated and somewhat scruffy corridors, our light bright and spacious room was something of a surprise. Although it was essentially a white box with a view of the bins, some attractive furniture and soft furnishings in sea-side colours gave it a lot of charm. The bathroom was also spacious, light and bright. It was all spotlessly clean and well-equipped with all the basics including good-quality tea, coffee and biscuits. With its convenient location near to the station and lots of restaurants and its cliff-top position, the Great Western is a great and good value base in Newquay

The hotel was amazing with exceptional service and clean with an excellent view from our room and idealy situated, the only very big downside is the amojnt of dogs that were in the hotel and alowed in the dining room, a big no no for me although I love pets, on one occasion my wife was walking into the restaurant and nearly stepped in dogs mess that was on the floor in the dinning room were we were eating our breakfast you need to address this problem for health reasons, unfortunately for this problem I will not be returning to this hotel any time soon. Unfortunately.

Hotel is fine for one night away. Parking is an issue, but down the road, if you dont mind a 2 minute walk, is a small 24hour car park, cheaper than the £10 per night the hotel charges. Floorboards in room 223 were extremely creaky. I feel sorry if anyone stays below. Walls were stained. In need of a repaint. Wobbly taps, broken shower (needs a new washer fitted to stop the leaking - not “ecofriendly”). Room unbearably hot during the night. Bed was comfy. Sheets were clean. Great location in the centre of town. Easy to walk to beaches and restaurants, but don’t stay more than one night.

While the staff are lovely, This place is tired and awful and in desperate need of a complete renovation. The photographer deserves a promotion for making the photos look as they did, but clearly it is photoshopped. The place is dark and dirty and smells like a mouldy dive bar, the beds are lumpy, the carpets stained and the bathrooms are gross. Its a shame because the location and the views are great!
