Lovely break well worth the drive
Perfect location- reception staff excellent- good size room/bathroom but grubby window sashes /sills and windows in need of a clean. Comfy beds - tv too small - room cleaning good- breakfast limited but functional - excellent views to the front- car parking good

a second recent visit. We were given an upgrade to a room with a sea view which was nice. Very hot weather but room had two fans. Service in the bar was a little slow but great staff and lovely hotel.

One night in Falmouth Hotel
We would recommend this hotel. Lovely position by the sea and just 10 minute to the town. The staff were friendly and smiley. Only have one fault, we had starters for lunch that were great so we decided to eat their in the evening. Our ribeye steak was extremely disappointing

A Falmouth institution
Maybe a little rough round the edges but at 160 years old this is forgivable. A grand seaside hotel that reminds you what hotels used to be like. Good service, good manners, and a little bit of old fashioned class.

Breakfast was disappointing along with the dining room.
Excellent size bedroom. However, we were surprised to see large brown water stains on the ceiling and plaster off the wall around the radiator.

Shanty festival
A traditional upmarket British seaside hotel which has clearly seen better days in its past, but appears to be attempting to get them back. Property shows signs of being tired in places, bedrooms are 3 star in particular, but the staff were exceptional and clearly well trained. An excellent venue from which to enjoy the town's Shanty Festival.

Great birthday break
Loved our room, lots of space, king size bed, sitting area inside and a great balcony with sea view. Great place to watch the world go by and relax, and 15 mins to bars and restaurants. Easy access to coastal path

Sea shanty festival
Lovely stay for the sea shanty festival. The only annoyance was lack of room service and the long queues to get a drink. The first time that the festival had been hosted here so guessing they underestimated how busy they would be! Great staff. Castle beach just opposite is lovely for a swim

Good location for accessing Falmouth. Great views from the bar and dining area. Service was a bit slow and a bit hit and miss. Our room didn't get made up on the last day of our stay.

Very poor stay for a wedding reception
View was the only good thing.
Room was very hot and no fan or air con... just a window that you cant open wide.
Toilet was blocked and nothing could be done.
Bar ran out of ice and limited drinks on offer and soon ran out for a wedding reception.!!!
Breakfast and plate was cold so that was left to the side.
Reception offed 25% discount and did not charge for the breakfast.
