Very enjoyable
Pros:

Quiet with nice welcome and attentive staff. Comfortable, if quite small, room but airy and not too hot during warm weather. Breakfast was good. Location excellent for pubs, restaurants and the city and cathedral.

Cons:

When a tour group came the breakfast choice was reduced but the staff provided more on request.

Pleasant stay, good value shame about the dreadful loo paper!!!
Pros:

Kitchen service, bar staff, facility of late night access if needed!!!

Cons:

Surprised at having to nake my bed and lack of maid service!! My main dislike was the atrocious quality of the lavatory paper, cost cutting and efficiency OK, but poor quality loo paper is inexcusable!!!!

HOTEL vicino al centro, in estate evitate le camere nel sottotetto, caldissime, personale gentile
Pros:

la posizione , il parcheggio , le parti comuni

Cons:

la camera . Era piccola, bagno piccolo ma soprattutto in mansarda , caldissima , con finestra piccola e senza condizionatore o ventilatore. Non o dormito per due notti. Si riusciva a dormire dalle 5 del mattino. Camere in mansarda INVENDIBILI in questo periodo. Colazione a buffet un pò scarna.

Pros:

Für eine Nacht war es ok. Bett war bequem. Zimmer ruhig gelegen (auch wenn etwas hellhörig)

Cons:

Doppelbett war zu zweit zu eng, hatten aber ein drittes Bett. Frühstück war sehr spärlich. Cappucino musste extra bezahlt werden. Wir kamen pünktlich zu Beginn des Frühstücks, aber schon fast alles weg, da grössere Reisegruppe dort bereits saß. Hat dann leider etwas gedauert, bis alles wieder da war

Nice quiet location in Truro City and easy access both to the front and rear of property for car
Pros:

Breakfast was enjoyable for our brief visit of a couple of days as there is no cooked option but maybe would need a change if staying for longer.
Our room was also adequate for a short stay but would have been a little uncomfortable in really hot weather.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
