The location is ideal for Newquay and surrounding areas, we visited the Lost Garden of Heligan and Newquay Zoo whilst staying for a weekend. The hotel is old fashioned and the bedrooms condition was the worst we have ever had in a hotel. However the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the view from the terrace is superb. For...

Okay location, but terrible room. No working heating. Water pressure non-existing. Noisy from other rooms.

Stayed here for three nights and couldn't have hoped for more. Great location, only two minutes walk from the train station and right next to the town centre and local attractions. Check-in was quick and staff on the reception desk and the restaurant were friendly. But the best thing about the stay was the fantastic sea view. Honestly, I spent... More

Rooms are in need of updating. Restaurant/bar is nice with good views. The lobby smells like my local gym's changeroom. This is an average hotel and certainly doesn't deserve very good or excellent ratings, maybe an upgrade to a superior room does?

A group of us decided to take in the grand national at the Great Western Hotel Easy hotel/pub to find as its on the main road. Large modern interior and loads of seating. The view of the sea/cliffs are amazing. There is seating outside but sadly it was raining. We had a few drinks to start with and after the... More

The Great Western's location has to be the best point about the hotel. It is at the end of Newquay town with lovely shops near by with everything you could need plus nice restaurants. The steam bar is part of the great western hotel with a lovely big lounge and beautiful sea views. Outside there is quite a big play... More

Ideal family hotel with great friendly staff. Good views and close to the beach. All in all a good clean hotel. Very outdated but price compensates for this.

We booked very very last minute and arrived approx 8pm, we couldn't have wished for a more welcoming helpful check in. The Woman on reception was brilliant, she did suggest that we might like to pay a slightly higher rate which would give us a bigger and newly refurbed room and what a room. Spacious doesn't seem a big enough... More
