From reception to waiting staff everyone looked after us so well

Susan United Kingdom

The room was cosy with good facilities and a pleasing view. It was cleaned & tidied very well each day. Breakfast & dinner were both excellent in quality and good amounts - neither too large or too small. Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful and the hotel was perfectly situated for my visiting Truro & beyond, plus I felt very comfortable as a solo visitor.

Susan United Kingdom

Everything was excellent although the room was slightly smaller than ideal.

Colin United Kingdom

Lovely room and location. Close to the city centre. The grounds are nice to walk through and we'll maintained. We stayed in the Courtyard, the bed was large and comfortable. The large bath was a delight to sink into after a day exploring Truro.

Graham United Kingdom

From the historical exterior to the comforting interior, this hotel has all the buzz and convenience of being in a city centre without the chaotic business that comes with any city. I have never had such a pleasant stay at a hotel, the facilities were fantastic, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was perfect. I was also given a complimentary upgrade which made things even nicer! I loved every second of it and will be coming back with my partner to enjoy a much more leisurely experience and for a longer period of time.

Stephan United Kingdom

We thought the hotel, breakfast and location was great, definitely come back… thank you for a good couple of days! I had recently lost my mother and the break away was just what was needed!

Jane United Kingdom

We enjoyed every part of our stay at The Alverton.
