I couldn't recommend staying at this hotel due to the carbon monoxide leak which occurred during our stay, resulting in the evacuation of all guests. Having been out on the 2nd evening of our stay we returned to the hotel at 1am to be greeted by the Police, Fire and Resue Service, Paramedics and hotel and brewery staff (the hotel... more

Just returned from a weekend in Cornwall. Booked this hotel as a walk in off the street as the hotel I'd booked in advance was a complete dive (not at all like it was advertised on the net) so ran out of that one and into the Great Western. I had been worried about booking the Great Western first because... more

This hotel was a little disappointing. The welcome and staff were great, and very helpful when we asked for anything, but the decor could definitely do with a update. Our bathroom did not have a shower, and the hot water came on intermittently. The location was fantastic, though -- just beside the sea, and just next door to Reef surf... more

This hotel was great!! as you walked in it looked slightly fawlty towers like and the floorboards were very very creaky but overall the hotel was great. The location was right in the centre of town..a couple minutes from the beach-great! The breakfast was good, always plenty to keep you going and the staff were very pleasent. The room was... more

Stayed at Great Western for one night. Positives were manager & staff were very helpful & The sea view was nice . Negatives were Parking is very limited , Hotel was old & creaky but is about to be renovated. Bathrooms need an upgrade. Basically the hotel was fine for one night but the worst part was the area. Newquay... more

Postivies ...Hotel has a great view over the beach and it is worth paying the £6 extra to upgrade to a sea view room. I can see how the ones at the front of the hotel would be noisy. Hotel is nearly all non smoking, fairly clean, rooms are a reasonable size , bathroom was clean and hot water always... more

The Hotel was generally run down and tatty. Our room overlooked the main road and we were kept awake by the loud drunken behaviour of people on the main road until the early hours of the morning. This was made worse by the Hotel floodlights shining into the room until 2 am. more

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel because of the central location, and great value for money, booking through a late deals website. We arrived one hour before our allocated check in time of 2.30pm and were checked in straight away by a very friendly receptionist (may have been a manager we think?). Once directed to our room, we got... more

Had a very comfortable stay, noted an earlier comment that the rooms were a liitle chilly due to the sash windows, but only have to ask and can be supplied with a fan heater which solves the problem. Excellent central location, brilliant views from rooms over the mighty Atlantic, the staff very obliging and friendly, food not adventurous but lots... more
