Perfect location, beautiful surrounds, great facilities.
Pros:

Great location, beautiful surroundings, felt like all bases were covered to achieve a higher standard. Staff were pleasant, professional and polite. The bar had cassis for a Kir Royale!! Great bar food and our room was perfect. We are walking Lands end to John o Groats, so seeing a lot of different accommodation. We are both agreed that so far for us this had been the best for the price we paid, and one we would return to. Many thanks for a great stay.

Great short break at the Alverton.
Pros:

Had a great time at the Alverton, never been in a hotel that smelt so nice, staff were all very welcoming and did there best to accommodate requests, but couldn’t supply any sun, well no one’s perfect.
The restaurant was very nice, surrounded by the features of its 200 year history, the food was all very tasty, hot and nicely presented.

Had two Ev charges and lots of parking.

Nice and central to the city and all the shops restaurants and bars 4 minutes drive or a gentle 10 minute walk.

A great base to see the surrounding beach towns 20 minute drive in either direction.

The room was very spacious and well stocked with two tv’s one in each room lots of choice for a hot drink and biscuits.

Well done Alverton, you helped to make my short break very restful and relaxing.

"Ticks all the boxes"
Pros:

Well located within easy walk of the city centre, The Alverton exceeded expectations, as its rare that a property "ticks all the boxes". From the secluded grounds, the well presented and historic property, through to friendly and accommodating staff. Whether as a solo traveller or couple / group, I would definitely recommend the Alverton.

A very enjoyable stay
Pros:

A beautiful old building, very well maintained. Comfortable lounge and bar areas.
We had a massive room with all the facilities we needed. Shower and bath were available. Especially grateful to find ironing equipment.

Cons:

Breakfast was very good, but the service was erratic at busy times. There didn't appear to be designated tables serviced by staff, so drinks/cooked food/toast arrived via different staff.
Day 1 there was no fresh fruit salad as part of the continental breakfast. This was rectified the following day

Another great stay at our favourite hotel in Truro
Pros:

We loved the whole room and the courtyard as it felt like we were abroad somewhere! Will definitely come back and stay in one of the courtyard room's

We also bought the 'Alverton club', which is £30. This was great for our stay because you get free tray service (room service), 2 free drinks and a free mini cream tea! The free drinks didn't have much limitations at all, which was even more of a bonus as there was more choice unlike some places where you can only get a free soft drink. We also got given a free box of chocolates for signing up to it as well!!! Very impressed

One note to add, I love the croissants they have here!

Cons:

The only problem we had during our stay was the room service. On our first day we got breakfast room service and it was the worst breakfast I've had there which was a shame and nearly put us off the room service entirely. Everything was cold and the bacon was as hard as a rock as well as burnt. I understand the courtyard is a bit of a walk but for the food to be completely cold and not enjoyable made us feel like we were an after thought! Saying this, the room service we had later on during our stay was a lot better so it was redeemed slightly.
