The Fal is so comfy ....

The hotel position is great for the seafront & walking into town/beaches/coastal path. Good garden outlook & furniture. Lounges are super comfy and breakfasts and snacks are very good. The staff have been very well trained. The staff are very friendly & super efficient. Downsides? Think of an aging film actress ... still beautiful, but showing her age around the edges. Bedrooms (we were top floor) are basic by modern standards and could do with a picture or two to brighten them up. Good bed & shower, so accept this as a minor issue. Will stay for our next visit to Falmouth.

The hotel as nice and peaceful and the staff were very pleasant. The only downside was that there was only 1 lift which made it a little more difficult to get to out room but no real problem.

Liked: Staff & service
The outside of the Falmouth Hotel was very welcoming and looked lovely. We checked in smoothly with very helpful staff. We stayed in room 115 and was disappointed at the overall decor of the room. It looked tired and could do with extra cleaning around the windows and the door needed to be completed ie paint. There were also stains on the carpet. Unfortunately attention to detail wasn't there. The room was extremely hot, making it uncomfortable. We did use the fan supplied which was noisy at night. The bar and lounge area looked nice and appealing and the outside area was lovely with plenty of tables.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful location

A beautiful location, with lovely views. A lovely hotel with a lot of history. We enjoyed looking at the old photographs of it. A very comfortable, clean room. Tea and coffee facilities with a lovely cafetière in the room. We enjoyed a quick visit to the swimming pool and sauna though the jacuzzi was out of action. The breakfast was a little disappointing compared to everything else ( cooked breakfast sausage was rubbery and poached eggs were over cooked in eggs florentine). This was possibly due to the busyness of the day as there was a wedding taking place, so the staff must have been pushed. Otherwise a great stay. Thank you!

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room we had was very tired and in need of an upgrade / basic repairs, however the hotel is undergoing a general revamp. The location is fantastic with lovely outdoor seating at the front.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel is very dated and clearly needs updating. Very old furniture and pillow choice poor . The staff were great and did their best . We were attending a dinner and the food in the evening was very good however in the morning I felt the breakfast offering was not good . The buffet was limited tinned fruit salad poor choice of pastries and only filter coffee or tea we then waited over 30 mins for our hot food and could not wait . The staff did refund the cost of the breakfast for us . For the amount we paid £190 I would not expect this and certainly wouldn’t return again .
