Top Porthleven Hotel Reviews

Greenbank Hotel

Greenbank Hotel

8/10 Good
"Room was excellent. Check in at reception was great. Very welcoming and helpful reception team . Unfortunately the pub was fully booked up for the food reservations and didnโ€™t quite fancy the restaurant menu after a 7 hour drive. Only downside to stay was we decided to have a drink in the hotel bar/ cocktail lounge whilst we discussed further supper options. My Partner approached bar which was empty to order but was told that we would be served at our table. Over the next 10-15 minutes we waited for somebody to take order but no one approached us despite there being at least 4 staff members going in and out with drinks. Plus the Woman behind bar who I presumed was the supervisor/ manager as she did not doing any serving of drinks during the time we waited. Anyway we left and found suitable supper and drinks elsewhere. On the whole we would still use the Greenbank again when in Falmouth. To be honest there is not really a lot of great hotel choices here. But the rooms here and the hotel are of a good standard. The breakfast experience the next morning was wonderful, good food, smiling happy staff and a great seafront location."

The Falmouth Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel had great amenities and set in an excellent location, overlooking the sea. Most of the staff were helpful and frindly although the service for the afternoon tea was not to the same standard as the rest (the staff were not very attentive). The lift was out of service when we arrived but was fixed swiftly. We booked two rooms and one of the rooms was much nicer than the other, with a bigger TV and wardrobe and more recently renovated. It would be good to renovate the remaining rooms so they don't differ as much. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would happily return, although some consistency in the room standards and service would make the experience even better."
