Categories

Cleanliness
8.9
Repeatedly praised as very clean across reviews ("big step up from the average budget hotel", "sehr sauberes Zimmer", "清潔"). Clean bathrooms and overall good housekeeping.
Service
7.7
Mixed reports: several comments about helpful, friendly and professional staff, but isolated negative incidents (rude reception staff, unfriendly night porter, and an unresolved double charge) lower the score.
Location
9.3
Consistently highly rated for central location close to the Hauptbahnhof and the cathedral; convenient for trains and walking to sights, though a few noted the immediate street/frontage felt less inviting.
Room Quality
8.2
Generally comfortable rooms with good beds, spacious layouts and strong soundproofing in many cases; some rooms are small for two and there are mixed reports about A/C availability between rooms.
Amenities
7.4
Basic amenities are present (A/C in some rooms, blackout curtains, luggage storage, occasional fridge), but inconsistent presence of fridge and occasional lack of A/C reduce the rating.
Value for Money
9
Multiple reviews explicitly call this an excellent or unbeatable value for the price; praised as the best value among budget options visited.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast described positively in several reviews and the breakfast room is noted as pleasant; limited mentions otherwise.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall positive stay with strong location, cleanliness and value; a few service and amenity inconsistencies (rudeness, billing issue, fridge/A/C variability) temper the experience.

Did its job
Pros:

Room was clean and spacious but toilet was bizarre .. like a child seat on an adult loo so it was ill fitting and uncomfortable. Staff are helpful and welcoming on check in. Breakfast at Beefeater was lovely but wouldn't have dinner if we stayed again(tasteless and dry). Short distance by car to Lemon Quay for shopping and restaurants.

Review of employee
Pros:

One women stood out in particular named Tracy. I had a formal meal and stressed about sorting out my tie. Tracy with a bright beautiful smile came over to help. She said she was unsure but tied it exceptionally well. I was flattered when she said “you scrub up quite well”. Tracy 100% deserves a pay rise and the best treatment from all customers.

Comfortable Weekend stay
Pros:

We've just come back from a great weekend stay for the university open day. It is very conveniently located for the Penryn campus. The staff here were fantastic, super helpful and friendly. The hotel itself could do with some updating it looks a little tired on the outside with a faded sign. But overall a great stay and would stay here again if we're down this way again.

Overpriced and disappointing
Pros:

We've stayed at this hotel a few times. This was definitely our worst experience and we will probably not return. We felt it was looking tired, and there was an air of "not bothering to look after the guests". We were there for 3 nights. Our room wasn't serviced in that time. It was not made clear to us that we would need to ask for this if we wanted it (if they even did that). Bathroom smelled musty. (Our other family members staying there had a worse experience of musty bathroom to us.) Our toilet seat wasn't the correct one for the toilet bowl. Other family members reported the same for their toilets. There was building work going on, which we were notified about, but we didn't expect all the trades vehicles to be parked in the guest spaces, when we could see a nice area they had fenced off that they could have parked in.
The food was acceptable and service mostly ok, but for what we paid we felt it was overpriced and they need to take a serious look at what they're offering and the price. I'm sure my other family members won't be returning either.
The chairs in the bar area of the Beefeater were in need of repair.
Note, this hotel does not have a lift, but we were on the ground floor this time.

OK stay.
Pros:

Good value for money. Well placed hotel. Entrance sign is needed. We couldn't find the entrance door easily when we arrived in the dark! No hairdryer or extra pillows in the room. They were in the middle of renovation but that didn't affect our stay.

Needs a refurb but staff were lovely
Pros:

Staff were great, rooms could do with some improvement and our view from the window was a brick wall. Rooms smelt damp and instead of a bedside table I was given a bar stool which made me laugh! Parts of the room were falling apart like the edges of the shelves etc. My son's bed was rock hard but the other beds were comfortable. Location is great for a short drive to the beach but not many shops or anything around in walking distance.

Chaotic
Pros:

My wife and I, who live in the area, went for breakfast. We were astonished at the restaurant manager who was utterly overworked and rushed from one task to the next just about keeping things going. We don't know how he coped.

Premier Inn/Beefeater Truro
Pros:

My wife and I stayed in a Premium Plus room at the Premier Inn in Truro, and sadly it fell well short of expectations. On arrival the welcome was unenthusiastic, setting the tone for the stay. The heating didn’t work, the toilet roll holder fell off the wall, and overall the room felt tired and poorly maintained. For a “premium” upgrade, it was very underwhelming. We were also not informed at the time of booking that builders would be on site, which added to the disruption.
The adjoining Beefeater pub was equally disappointing. Service was slow and disorganised — we waited 40 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived the steak was not cooked as requested and the presentation was poor. For the price, the quality was far below what we’ve experienced at other Premier Inns and Beefeaters.
Overall, a very disappointing stay that did not justify the “Premium Plus” label.
