"Great location overlooking Gyllyngvase beach. Friendly, helpful staff. Shout out to Hannah for welcoming us on arrival, very kind! Breakfast included in room charge and very well done. Just FYI if you are coming by train the walk with luggage is mostly uphill and takes about 10 min"

Greenbank Hotel

Greenbank Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous location overlooking the harbour, not far from the town centre. The room was well-decorated, clean and spacious with a huge, comfortable bed. Loved the spa-like bathroom, local toiletries and the bathrobes and slippers. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful with a waterside view, and the staff were very accommodating. Parking was initially a problem as there were other events at the hotel, but the reception staff soon found spaces in their garage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again."
