Superb w/e stay

Excellent hotel: standards, decor, quality of furnishings very pleasing. Comfort of bed and bedding excellent. Meal excellent and served in beautiful second floor lounge. Only reservation was lack of air con in a hot room and, unfortunately, we were above the recycling room where the evenings bar bottles were dumped - after time was called. However, would definitely stay again - central and certainly offered a ‘taste of the Idol rocks’.

Casual stay with casual staff

Went to check in at the bar, was taken to the unmanned reception then forgotten about. Stayed on two occasions and happened both times. It seemed staff were more focussed on bar customers than staying ones. Staff got dinner booking times wrong twice and failed to inform me about the option for a larger cooked breakfast at Idle Rocks. Room was lovely and got an upgrade which was appreciated. The heated towel rail was great for drying clothes off after walks in the rain. Suitable for independent travellers who don't require much service.

Nice place but overpriced for what you get

We spent two days at The St Mawes Hotel in July over weekdays. It is a lovely, boutique hotel, comfortable and clean with great views over the harbour. It is, however, overpriced for what you get. Our room was lovely, overlooking the sea, but didn't have the amenities you would expect from a hotel costing £250/night. Breakfast was good, but not exceptional, the staff weren't rude, but fairly unenthusiastic and a bit absent! Rooms need aircon - it wasn't even that hot when we were there and we were boiling in the night. We had dinner at the sister hotel, The Idle Rocks, where the staff were much better, and the food was delicious.
