Great Western Hotel - not so "Great"

The hotel was dirty. The bathroom smely of urine. The bed sheets were not cnanged every day. It took 10 mins waiting time for the toilet's cistern to fill before it could be flushed again. The hotel has not been modernised since it was built in the 1800s. The was a damp patch on the ceiling of the disabled room that my friend and I stayed in. It only has freeview TV. I would never stay there again and nor would I recommend it.

Lovely view over the sea, very central, helpful staff. Bed was comfortable however there was no air conditioner, it was very stuffy in the room and windows did not open. We did ask for a fan which improved things a bit

Awful hotel. Rooms are filthy and the entire building is run down. None of the rooms look anything like how they were advertised, bathrooms have mould growing and none of the items in the room eg. the tissue box have been cleaned let alone restocked.

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.
