Harbour Hotel St Ives

Harbour Hotel St Ives

8/10 Good
"Our room was huge but our friends room below was tiny. Loved the lift, very good and staff on the whole excellent. Now the things that let it down, event on lowest floor yet staff having to run upstairs to another bar for soft drinks??? Unsure why at some point you wouldnt just bring some downstairs. Pizzas on buffet looked cheap and not the quality the hotel excudes elsewhere. Oh and no veggie sausages at least 2 days in a row. In 2026 to be told the Chef apologises and is trying to source some - yeah even lidl and aldi do linda mccartneys, heck most cornershops stock them, be honest, people appreciate it more. Overall pricey but a lovely hotel, love the outside deck and that its dog friendly, harder and harder to find high standard accomodation thats also pet friendly. Overall a pleasant stay, and helpful staff, events service could be higher with minor tweeks but the cocktails were good and those serving drinks and canapes were friendly and professional. Do not let pizzas out the kitchen looking like that, heck splash out and throw some salad on the plate or something. They looked shop bought even if they werent which should tell you what you need to know. I can get a stonebaked pizza for £10 with toppings from a truck. Maybe we just got them on a bad day but still at £300 per night for a standard room, you do expect it to be at least as tasty as a basic takeaway pizza. Continental breakfast selection was good, everything you'd expect including very tasty overnight oats."

"​A wonderfully cozy pod with everything we needed for a comfortable stay! It was very quiet at night. Having the parking space right in front is super convenient. Location-wise, it’s about a 15-minute walk to the town center, with a bus stop right outside the pub. While breakfast isn't available, there are complimentary tea and coffee setup in the room. Highly recommended!"

"The property is great with a great view. The old castle gives an amazing experience. The breakfast was nice and there were many varieties and good choices for vegetarians. Using the sink was challenging as they are using the old two tap system but the tap is too short and the cold water pressure was low in the room so I couldn't use the sink. The bed was too small, short and uncomfortable. Other than this the experience was really good."

"Room was spacious and clean, but tired. Shower is a stand in a bathtub situation. Windows very dirty, and bed was a big, but needed a little TLC. Fine, but 2/3star at best. Breakfast was good, cooked breakfast very good. Service was impeccable. Bar service slow as the Batman appeared to be in the restaurant also. Accept this is Penzance, not Paris, so I’m satisfied, but not blown away, for over £200 a night."

"The staff were amazing - welcoming, friendly, cheerful, just lovely to be around. The food was amazing. The 4 cheese tortellini in particular was out of this world. The only issue I had was the striped carpet on the stairs. For some reason, it was really disorienting. I thought it was just me (I recently got new vari-focal glasses) but my husband thought the same."
