Great Premier Inn in fantastic location
Pros:

Great location. Great Staff. As with any Premier Inn the rooms are the same the bathroom is the same. If you have stayed in one you know what to expect. For the price you pay they great value.
Breakfast is wonderful a full freshly cooked English.
Tea and Coffee facilities in the room , if you need more just ask at reception.
I just wish if you have an older teenager you could still get a family room.

Beware of being fined for leaving
Pros:

On Sunday 12th October I booked in and put my car number plate into the system.I have today received a parking fine from Horizon stating the time of 0801 Monday 13th, which was not my time of arrivsl but time of leaving as had an 08.30 appointment.
Horizon are obviously a dubious company who try to make money from customers staying at this hotel. As many may leave later han 0801. beware. Obviously I cannot get any response from the hotel as their trlephone number is incorrect nor can get a copy of my booking to show Horizon I was a guest at the hotel. Given I have retuned from another visit and was going o make another booking I will have to think about staying there again.

Easy Access from A30 and to many places in Cornwall
Pros:

An accessible hotel with a lift, good comfortable room, great staff both in reception and in the restaurant/bar.
The food and service of a high quality and well worth the meal deal.
Low bath means many can access the shower, but if elderly you do need to take care.
Near a roundabout and some traffic at night but nothing to disturb the quality of your sleep.
Certainly would make it my base for a break in Cornwall as easy access to the Eden Project, Cornish North Coast and A30 to St Ives and Penzance and a day trip to the Scilly Isles.

Umm Well…
Pros:

Friendly enough staff. Lots of information about the local area. Train station within easy access, Spar shop for basics near by. Lots of room for parking, just be careful of the company work vans as they seemed to take up 30% of the car park. Noisy road around the front. Which was fine until the morning traffic and the car horns and some local (I say local as heard it every morning) idiot on his/her motorcycle revving his/her engine outside on the main road. Between 6am-10am kept getting woken up by that or someone slamming the door as they went down the stairs nearby.

Inside the lift needed cleaning, did tell someone in reception, but obviously went in one ear and out the other.

I get the impression that it wasn't originally a Premier Inn as the furniture in the room wasn't their normal standard.
Only the bed and carpet seamed to be theirs. The shower curtain, might as well not have it, as the water ended up on the floor. Had to be careful getting out as made the floor very slippery.

Deep breaths, sigh. The WiFi, oh my it was rubbish. When your phone signal is that bad, you should be able to have some decent WiFi. Nope! Not here. They want you to buy their premium package. As their normal WiFi was so slow. I ended up having to put my 5g iPad on the window ledge and to share the signal to my phone. Even then I only had two bars of 4g signal, and that was better than their wifi.

The Table Table pub on site. Only ate there twice. Food was of good quality and good portions. However both times there were items missing off the menu. Not just this site, but seams to be a problem at all of on-site Premier Inn bars or restaurants.

Breakfast was good, but depending on what time you go down for it you might get stale bread and pastries. Guess if you're going to toast the bread it doesn't matter. Just check the setting on the toaster as mine came out black.
Had to put it into the bin, and try again. The breakfast team were good and attentive. Answered any questions needed.

Next time, you won't see me there anymore.
Pros:

We stayed overnight from 29 to 30 August 2025. When we arrived there, the reception was a bit tired. We provided all the information, including the car's license plate, and everything seemed fine. Today, a surprise: the Horizontparhing parking fine... the lady forgot or made a mistake in registering the car... thanks for the nice surprise. Next time, you won't see me there anymore.

Pleasant Stay
Pros:

We stayed at the Premier Inn Quintrell Downs and had a really pleasant experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating & when we asked to change rooms due to a bathroom smell, they handled it quickly and arranged for a new room the following morning.

Our family room had the usual comfortable Premier Inn layout. Despite the hotel being busy, it was surprisingly quiet with no disturbances, so we had a restful stay. Breakfast was good (you do need to book a table), and there was free parking on site which made things easy.

It’s in a great location—around a 10-minute drive to Fistral Beach and other nearby spots. We also appreciated the ample supply of tea and coffee available at reception.

There is a Spar close by which has all essentials that you may require.

Overall, a good stay and we’d happily recommend it.

Top notch premier inn
Pros:

Lovely large rooms and very comfortable beds and pillows. Hotel was very clean throughout, smelling noticably fresh - there is obviously a very good cleaning team here and they keep on top of things. Staff were excellent - helpful and friendly. The next-door pub was great for breakfast, and for dinner as well offering good value meals. Great hotel location - you can get a bus right over the road straight into Newquay (£5 return). Would definitely return - this offered good value and good service.

Superb Stay in a Thoughtfully Designed Hotel
Pros:

This is a great hotel in a great location. Its clean, tidy and welcoming. The staff are really friendly and helpful and everything is efficient and well thought out.

The beds are so incredibly comfortable, and there is attention to detail like carpets in the halls and extra glazing on the windows to ensure you do not have a poor nights sleep.

The breakfasts are amazing, so much food and such nice food as well. I do wish the hot buffet was open, but we still got everything we wanted and needed by superbly friendly and helpful staff.

The hotel has plenty of free parking as well, something which feels like an actual luxury in its own right nowadays, FREE parking! And there is enough to go around!

Overall, really pleased with our stay, couldn't have been better.

Cheap and cheerful. Good location for exploring Cornwall,
Pros:

Good location. Not in the town centre but a good spot for planning trips to other places in Cornwall.
We went for 3 nights Thurs to Sat. Check the daily rates before booking. I was surprised on the week I booked that Tuesday was more expensive that Saturday. Each day is different.
Didn't like the fact that the rooms weren't turned down at all during our stay. We would have liked the rubbish bin emptied, even if only every other day. There were no drinking glasses provided. No fridge.
On the plus side the breakfast was very good. On the Friday and Saturday morning they were made to order but on Sunday it was buffet style - not as good.
We've stayed at this premier at Quintrell Downs several times and it suits our needs and does offer fairly good value for money. The staff are always polite and courteous.

July 2025 visit
Pros:

We stayed here again this time for my birthday and has everything we require for our needs.

We were greated by Bernice who went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible, (Thankyou).
Her team also couldn't be more helpful, and nothing was a problem.
Rooms are very clean and tidy and a convenient lift is available.
A free carpark with plenty of space was nice to see.
Great location for Newquay with train and bus services good this time of year.
All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel and will be going back soon. Thx to the whole team 👏

Four days in Quintrell Downs
Pros:

Despite only two of us booking the room had two additional single beds. At no time did these get removed or packed away. Good food in the restaurant although only one salad was disappointing, especially in summer. Each day we asked for the room to be service, however this was only done once during our four day stay.
