Location was very convenient if travelling to St Ives by public transport. Staff helpful. Only let down was cleanliness of bathroom and noisy visitors who don't consider other people staying. Don't forgot to pack a pair of earplugs.

Convenient to the beach. The hotel room was overlooking the sea, which was beautiful. The furnishings were a little tired. Finding a spot to park was difficult even though they said parking was available, they never explained exactly where it was located which was in the back across a busy road and a very small, tight garage that was difficult to park in, very tight space. Initially the staff did not explain where to park and i had to drive around a one way system 4 times to finally see where it was located.

St Ives Bay Hotel was an ideal for our short stay in St Ives, perfect location, the room, although a little tired looking in certain areas, was clean, spacious and a great sea view. The staff were very pleasant, courteous and helpful, especially the gentleman that handled our check in. We needed a hotel that was dog friendly, the St Ives Bay didn't disappoint in any way, we even got a spot in the car park. Would highly recommend.

The man and woman on reception were great. The breakfast staff were about as much use as a button on a sock. My bathroom smelled horrible. Bedroom was getting a drain smell from out side.

Don't bother staying here. The property is run down and in poor condition, we stayed in a unpleasant little room which wasn't very clean. We couldn't find any members of staff for the most part as the reception and bar areas were always empty. I was also charged more money for my dog to stay with us than what was agreed in an email I received from the hotel prior to our arrival. Overall not worth it.

An older property, difficult to navigate with luggage as there are stairs up to the entrance, stairs down to the lift, and a total of four fire doors to get to our room on the third floor. Rooms are quite small, beds only have one thin pillow, and the shower pressure was relatively non existent.

My partner and I really enjoyed our stay. To mention we did find a dog bone under our bed and the building itself is very dated especially in the upstairs corridors. The floorboards are quite creaky, and you can hear people walking around. However staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfast was decent and the bedsheets were clean. View from the dining area is spectacular.
