Shanty festival
A traditional upmarket British seaside hotel which has clearly seen better days in its past, but appears to be attempting to get them back. Property shows signs of being tired in places, bedrooms are 3 star in particular, but the staff were exceptional and clearly well trained. An excellent venue from which to enjoy the town's Shanty Festival.

Sea shanty festival
Lovely stay for the sea shanty festival. The only annoyance was lack of room service and the long queues to get a drink. The first time that the festival had been hosted here so guessing they underestimated how busy they would be! Great staff. Castle beach just opposite is lovely for a swim

Great birthday break
Loved our room, lots of space, king size bed, sitting area inside and a great balcony with sea view. Great place to watch the world go by and relax, and 15 mins to bars and restaurants. Easy access to coastal path

Room upgrade to stunning sea view suite
Lovely overnight stay in Falmouth. Hotel is situated on the sea front with gorgeous views of the bay and within easy walking distance of the shops n restaurants in the town. Having booked an inland double room we found upon arrival we had been upgraded to a sea view suite which was like our own apartment with seperate living room, bathroom with jacuzzi bath and an enormous bedroom with king sized bed and ornate furnishings. We booked an early evening meal with view of the sea. Both our evening meal and breakfast were lovely. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend you check out the hotel deals.

Beautiful and charming stay in Falmouth
The Falmouth Hotel is a lovely place to stay, a hotel with character and charm. They have done a wonderful job of preserving the history of the building with modern updates to keep it comfortable. The spa was lovely and every meal I had at the restaurant was excellent. Wonderful value for money, and the view is incredible. I hope I get the chance to go back!

front of house and public rooms were excellent. We were on 4th floor where refurbishment has not yet been done.Room was small. rotten windows not shutting properly and needs redecoration. There was no housekeeping at all for the 3 days of our stay. The bin was not emptied no clean towels. The comfort tray not refilled. It was not reported at time as we daily expected it to be done. disappointed as a hotel of this quality and reputation did not live up to its status.

You can tell there are grand plans for this fabulous hotel. So glad it is being preserved as a hotel. We love staying here and since the takeover it is much improved. Staff deserve a special mention as they all went out of their way to help us have a great stay. We will definitely be back!

Overall, a fabulous stay. I was taking part in a 2 day sport event nearby. Gorgeous location and such a charming building. Check in welcome was delightful and I was given an upgrade to a suite which was huge with fabulous sea views and very OTT fairytale furniture- I felt like Belle in beauty and the beast!
I used the pool which was lovely and quiet, the hot tub hasn’t worked for some time and the sauna and changing rooms are tired. But I was grateful for the facilities.
My issue was that there was a function that evening with a live band followed by dj and j was directly above. The music was so loud I couldn’t watch the tv, let alone try to sleep. The band were fabulous and had I not been desperate for sleep I would have tried to join the function! But it really did prevent the restful evening I needed. I did call the night porter who let me know the music would finish at 11:30, which it did shortly after, but it meant I got very little sleep and was up and away early the next day.
Service at breakfast was fabulous and check out experience was good, with the receptionist apologising for the noise .
I would definitely return, but would check for functions and room location.
