The Alverton is a beautiful building but its inside failed to live up to its exterior. Restoration is ongoing and if this is the service guests recieve then I suggest you close the doors until you are done. The bar is closed and an unwelcoming makeshift one of several leather sofas crammed into a room with a few bottles and... More

Quoting mikeh83sea "The building is a fantastic place, and one to look at for the architecture. The welcome was very nice and polite. But that's where it all ended. I have tried to take into account that there was a lot of work being done, redecorating and so on, but, this hotel does not match its perceived status." More than... More

We had two rooms on a room only basis for one night. We were wowed by the drive up to the hotel...it was beautiful!

We stayed for two nights while attendi ng a Funeral in Truro. I believe the Hotel is an old Monastery and is a wonderful building full of character. The room rates were very reasonable and included an excellent breakfast. Staff were efficient and very accomodating. The Hotel has a large car park which is a bonus as parking in Truro... More

We stayed here for three nights on 6th April. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was no lift and we were on the third floor which made getting the suitcase up there a real adventure. The room was large and clean although the shower was only set to scolding so we made do with the bath. The food... More

We stayed at the Alverton from 5th-7th April, the building itself is beautiful and even more so bathed in the beautiful Cornish sunshine. Staff were very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. Food was delicious and the breakfasts in particular were extraordinary, my favourite smoked salmon and scrambled eggs were absolutely divine......on the Saturday morning in particular the eggs were...
