I had a mixed experience at Glendorgal Hotel. The location, nestled near Porth beach, is amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly. However, the room I stayed in was quite dated and in need of maintenance, especially regarding cleanliness and safety. While I enjoyed my time at the beach and appreciated the friendly staff, I believe the hotel requires a good refresh.

Rooms

My room was a great size, but it was showing signs of age and cleanliness was an issue. The mattress felt overused, and I noticed some stains on the sheets, which put me off.

The location near Porth beach was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. I couldn't ask for a better spot.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast was decent, but I wish I'd had a full Cornish instead of the English breakfast option. Also, it felt like the best tables with views were reserved for larger groups.

I had a mixed experience at Glendorgal Hotel. The location near Lusty Glaze beach is fantastic, offering stunning views and easy beach access. However, the accommodations were quite disappointing, with dated furniture and uncomfortable beds that made sleep difficult. Service could use improvement, and there were cleanliness issues that further detracted from my stay. Overall, it was a shame because the potential for a great getaway is there, especially given the beautiful surroundings. 🌊😞

Rooms

5.0

The rooms are basic and decorated with dated furniture. My first room had a balcony for a nice view, but the bed was uncomfortable, and I found the pillows overly firm. The next room was a family size but was noisy and even more uncomfortable, causing us to sleep poorly.

Service

5.0

Service was lacking, as I wasn't informed about breakfast hours, and there were delays in addressing room issues. When I reported a broken mattress, I was told nothing could be done due to full bookings.

Location

The location is superb, right next to Lusty Glaze beach, which is a huge plus. It's easy to enjoy the beach and nearby amenities.

Dining

I didn't get a chance to experience the dining options because the restaurant was fully booked, and breakfast offerings seemed limited and overpriced.

Facilities felt outdated, and the cleanliness was questionable. Common areas, like the bar, showed signs of neglect with cobwebs present.

I had high hopes for my stay at Glendorgal Hotel, especially given its stunning location by Porth beach, but my experience was marred by uncomfortable accommodations and some cleanliness issues. While the staff I encountered were friendly and the view was impressive, the outdated furniture and unsatisfactory bedding significantly impacted my overall enjoyment. I left feeling more tired than when I arrived, which is disappointing for a getaway.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were basic and dated, with uncomfortable beds that felt worn. I struggled to get a good night's sleep due to the poor quality of the mattresses, and in one room, the noise from upstairs was unbearable. Additionally, there were cleanliness issues that I found quite concerning.

Service

5.0

The staff I met were pleasant and helpful, but the hotel seemed to lack proper organization. I had to navigate through the hotel to get to the bar, which felt inefficient. Assistance with my luggage would have been appreciated.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is absolutely fabulous, offering amazing views over Porth beach. I loved taking morning walks down to the beach, which made my stay feel more enjoyable despite the room issues.

Dining

5.0

The dining options included a full Cornish breakfast, which was nice, but I felt the seating area could use improvement as certain views were reserved for coach trip visitors. It lacked variety in cold options for breakfast.

Facilities

5.0

While there were some appealing amenities, such as comfortable sofas and a television, the dilapidation of certain areas detracted from the experience. I did appreciate the view from my balcony, though access from outside could be tidied up.
