The Egyptian pharaoh.
Pros:

The Manager can't remember his name ,he's Egyptian first class chap, anything we needed he got for us within 5/10min extremely polite and friendly. A credit to himself and his family and the company that owns the hotel.

Cons:

When the hotel is totally renovated and restored to its new owner's and staff expectations it will thrive.
At moment slightly mauled from it's recent past.
But there is a great hotel there .

Much better than I had anticipated
Pros:

Right on the sea front, easily accessible to get into town in about a 5 min walk. Staff were lovely! I booked before reading the reviews and then got a bit nervous as to what to expect. For what you pay, it is worth it! The shower was absolutely fine, just had to let it run for 5 mins and the pressure was perfect. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean too. The hotel was also pretty booked up, lots of people about, I think lots of people are leaving bad reviews and no one is sharing their good experiences here. I say take the bad reviews with a pinch of salt, it’s an old hotel and it’s cheap too.

Cons:

This isn’t a major thing but the carpet could have done with a bit of a hoover. But your by the beach and bring your own sand to add back to it.

Poor embarrassed to advertise it for them
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Dirty poor rooms with 1 plug socket . Paid for parking but it was free for all staff and family took most spaces without paying. No towels in the room. People running about and arguing late in the night.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. BOOKING.COM REMOVE THIS HOTEL FROM YOUR LISTING.
Pros:

I did not like this place thats why I did not stay here.

Cons:

When I walking into the building it was giving abandoned vibes, trash infront the room door and all over the hallway. There was not parking. The carpet in the room was stained, it smelled really really bad. I felt sick. I just had to leave. I could not stay in a place like that. BOOKING.COM Please remove this hotel from your listing. I did not get a refund and had to book another hotel. I wish I could give this a -100 rating.

Do not book this property
Pros:

There wasn't one good thing about this hotel.

Cons:

The carpets on the stairs and corridors were filthy and weren't vacuumed during my stay. The main seating area had fencing and rubbish piled up . The lift didn't work. There didn't seem to be any sort of security in the hotel. Anyone could walk in without question. My Son, who wasn't staying there, was able to access my room without being stopped. There are absolutely zero facilties in the hotel.

My room itself was not a good experience. The main lights didn't work, though there was a lamp. The bedding was stained, when I went to reception to complain, there wasn't anyone there. I helped myself to clean linen from the opened cupboard. The carpets were filthy, both with stains and debris, the shower was dirty and had mouldy grouting, and I felt dirtier after I showered! The bed itself was very uncomfortable and creaked with the slightest movement. People were banging doors all hours of the night, so I wasn't able to get a relaxing sleep. My room was at the back of the property with a skip directly below my window. Work started before 7am with lots of banging. What seemed like a domestic fight happened in the room next to me. Overall, I didn't feel safe or relaxed and ended my stay a day early. Absolutely terrible experience and a waste of my money.

Having stayed a couple of times before, I was hopeful the reviews were exaggerated. Unfortunately not, this property has deteriorated drastically and I feel it should be removed from your listing to avoid anyone else having an experience like mine

Great value for money, location is fabulous and it overlooks the sea/beach. Wonderful.
Pros:

The view from my room was phenomenally good. Could lay in bed and watch the sea. The beach infront on the hotel is simply amazing. The beach is literally across the road, so close. The hotel is literally in the centre of Newquay, near train station and near lots of shops and restaurants and bars. It had a lift. And is good for dogs and people with mobility issues. I felt safe as a single woman traveling there. The price was incredibly low - I will 100% coming back to stay here. Parking is available on street (free) or in-front of hotel (for fee) or in a carpark (payable) very close by. The people on reception were lovely and the room cleaners were happy to help. Tea and coffee in room was nice too.

Cons:

Hotel in a declining state
Pros:

When we reported that the water wasn't draining in the room's bathroom we got a new room without much hassle.

Cons:

Stains on the carpet, general bad smell everywhere, bedding stored in the corners of corridors, lift not working for half of the building, fire alarm at 12am, stains on bedding
