Tatty and run down
Obviously we knew this wasn't going to be amazing after the budget price point and from the online pics, we were expecting something basic and in line with Travelodge type interior. Unfortunately our room was particularly run down and pretty horrible. Needs alot of TLC. Such a shame as the building itself is majestic and in a great spot. Such a real , real shame about the interior. Would definitely not recommend.

Worthwhile experience!
This Hotel has an enviable position next to the railway station and a 5 minute walk to all buses covering a wide area. We booked a superior room which was comfortable and had a superb view over the bay and cliffs. However, it has many stairs and, as far as we could tell ,only one lift which was reached by 7 steps from reception. So, although the staff were helpful, it did not seem disabled friendly. Some ramps and (weatherproof) wheelchair lifts would assist a wider range of customers and could be done as part of the continuing upgrade which the management are obviously trying to undertake (evidenced by certain hi-tech features such as wi-fi and usb chargers, etc). Reception was not continuously manned as seemingly overworked staff were often carrying out other duties. Patience was needed at times but help was usually available. One thing that would not cost anything is a welcoming smile. So come on St.Ives Bay hotel, widen your horizons just a little more and modernise the corridors and accessibility of your fantastic, but slightly tired building, just like you have the rooms. Thanks for the experience of staying with you. We will be back!

Great staff, views and Monday breakfast 👌
Staff were amazing, they couldn't have been better. Room not as per photo and after staff kindly moved us to a room with a bath, Thank-you, the room was very tired. However, the views from 307 are amazing, and we watched the sun raising over the beach. Sundays breakfast was interesting and not up to standard, very sparse. Mondays breakfast was the opposite, quite superb in every way. We travelled with my service dog and the breakfast staff couldn't help enough. Thank-you

It did the job we required it to do!
Great location and good views from bedroom. Bathroom and bedroom decor is a bit tired but I believe that is reflected within the cheap price we paid. Shower wasn't great and the hotel didn't smell great but overall a pleasent stay and did the job. It is a value for money property and would stay again if it remained cheap

Dated but, still loved it.
I loved view, could sit at the wondow all day. The room was clean and tidy. Toilet didn't flush properly, shower tray didn't drain and there was a leak through the ceiling into the bathroom. Saying that I would still stay again, it just felt comfortable.

Book front room, low floor.
The building looks imposing from the outside and its bar & resteraunt area at the front have nice views. Unfortunately, we booked a cheap room for ONE NIGHT at the back and got what we paid for. Very no frills, 2 flights of stairs up, single glazed sash windows, view of bins at back, sloping floors, gaps under doors. Promised parking was an old bus garage, very difficult to get in/out with a VW Van, so we parked on the street in front. Positive points; friendly staff, view from coffee lounge, lovely walk into St.Ives, parking options, bed was comfy. Can't comment on breakfast as we opted not to have one.

Where to start? The room: dirty, stained, smelly, the window couldn’t be closed and the temperature dropped so much it was necessary to request heating, which was offered after getting smirks and questions about my capacity to take on the cold. The staff attitude is disastrous. They are trying their best but evidently there is a management team that has made this to be “hotel disaster”. The breakfast was horrible, soggy and a bot cold. They only had one poor girl tending on 24 tables (I have video of this) and then she was also the one sorting out the rooms!! The manager (a dude in glasses) showed up the next day and “helped”, put an apron on, teamed with a guy that looked half awaken from a binge drinking night to serve breakfasts, with an attitude twice as bad as that of their front line staff. Stay away from this hell hole. This is the first time I take the time to provide a review this long bit people need to be aware and the owners of this place need to sort their management out. Give that girl a pay raise. She keeps the place together and still gets an awful treatment by the rest of the staff.
