having booked before we read the reviews, we were bracing ourselves for shabby accomodation and rude staff. When we arrived everything was fine, ok ,the room wasn't the most modern we have stayed in but it was clean and comfortable and breakfast on both days was delicious!

Have just spent two nights at this hotel. I read in previous reviews that the receptionist was rude. Our initial experience made me feel that the opposite was true. The receptionist was helpful and polite on our arrival but this was the only positive thing about our stay. I stayed with my husband and daughter in what was termed a... more

Before going, I read some of the previous reviews of the Brookdale on TripAdvisor, and inevitably my expections weren't high. But I was pleasantly surprised.... Yes, some... more

Plus points: The hotel is conveniently located for the centre of Truro and is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the Cathedral and main shopping area. The railway station is a taxi ride away. There is adequate free car parking in the hotel grounds. Minus points: The hotel is built into the side of a hill and the paths... more

I was visiting Truro on business and asked the people I was visiting where to stay. They obviously had no idea of what this place was really like. If you are looking for a top class hotel with prices to match, this hotel is not for you. If you are looking for a cheap place with prices to match, this... more
