Guesthouse Merchant House
49 Falmouth Road, Truro, TR1 2HL, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
The staff were extremely friendly, and more than happy to help with any queries I had. Breakfast was lovely, and they catered to your every need so even if I'd of wanted breakfast on the move, they'd have made it possible. The room was upgraded from a single to a double, with a comfortable bed and bedding, and a decent sized TV. All the amenities were clean, and the hotel had absolutely no disturbances throughout the night.

United KingdomA really lovely clean room and super friendly sraff
United KingdomIn good location plenty of parking room a good size.
United KingdomLovely property, great breakfast, helpful staff, great value for money. Would recommend and also stay again.
United KingdomThe location was great and pretty close to the train station which was about a 10 minute walk. The Staff was very obliging in a change I wanted to make and helped me with my bags. The housekeeping Staff deserves special mention for their cheerfulness and efficiency. The breakfast in the morning included both Continental and a Full English Breakfast, with vegetarian sausages - lovely!
United States of AmericaLocation was central. Easy to walk to rail station, and to central part of town. Bus came right outside hotel which took us to Falmouth. Bed was great. Lighting in room was wonderful as it had overhead light besides lamps. Found plenty of space to store clothes and other items. Food was excellent. Had lots of choices for items such as full English breakfast, or eggs on toast. Also had cereal and yogurt. Staff was friendly and helpful. Afternoon cake and tea was an added bonus. Ate at Thomas Daniel, enjoyed the Mushroom and Spinach pie and Steak Pie. Give you lots of food. Would highly recommend the ASK Italian place also down at the bottom of the hill. If visiting again would definitely stay at this hotel.
United KingdomHaving travelled widely with our dog we can honestly say that this is the best place we have ever stayed for dog owners. If they had a garden it would have scored 10.5/10!! The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble, especially in terms of the dog. We would definitely stay again.
United KingdomComplimentary tea and cake every day! What's not to love? Good breakfast which caters to everyone from gluten free to vegan. Rooms were nice, clean and well presented. The hotel caters for everyone staying, even down to having running routes available to guest who do not know the area. Overall a very enjoyable stay!
