I wil start by explaining why with such a title I only gave the hotel 4 stars not 5. This is simp;y becasue they were still ( and possiby still are) in the process of refurbishing which meant some minor problems were evident. However, any problems which did arise due to the refurb were quickly and smilingly dealt with by... More

We had a massive shock when we walked through the new glass doors & into the new look Alverton. We guessed it would be nice but we were genuinely " go smacked " by the transformation. We hardly recognised the place! The decor is very classy, comfortable & bang up to date. A long bar serving cocktails replaces the "boring... More

We stayed here on a one night Wow Voucher deal.The out side on arrival is stunning and carries on inside.

This hotel is under going a lot of work but still operating there was no disturbance to use and... More

We booked on a 'Wowcher' deal. I could see why as we have done this before. The hotel is undergoing what seems a big refurb. It will be very lovely on completion in about 2 to 3 weeks.

The Alverton is a beautiful building but its inside failed to live up to its exterior. Restoration is ongoing and if this is the service guests recieve then I suggest you close the doors until you are done. The bar is closed and an unwelcoming makeshift one of several leather sofas crammed into a room with a few bottles and... More

Quoting mikeh83sea "The building is a fantastic place, and one to look at for the architecture. The welcome was very nice and polite. But that's where it all ended.

The building is a fantasic place, and one to look at for the architecture. The welcome was very nice and polite. But thats where it all ended. I have tried to take into account that there was a lot of work being done, redecorating and so on, but, this hotel does match its percieved status. I was in room 33,... More
