Liked: Room comfort
Dated but, still loved it.
I loved view, could sit at the wondow all day. The room was clean and tidy. Toilet didn't flush properly, shower tray didn't drain and there was a leak through the ceiling into the bathroom. Saying that I would still stay again, it just felt comfortable.

Book front room, low floor.
The building looks imposing from the outside and its bar & resteraunt area at the front have nice views. Unfortunately, we booked a cheap room for ONE NIGHT at the back and got what we paid for. Very no frills, 2 flights of stairs up, single glazed sash windows, view of bins at back, sloping floors, gaps under doors. Promised parking was an old bus garage, very difficult to get in/out with a VW Van, so we parked on the street in front. Positive points; friendly staff, view from coffee lounge, lovely walk into St.Ives, parking options, bed was comfy. Can't comment on breakfast as we opted not to have one.

Where to start? The room: dirty, stained, smelly, the window couldn’t be closed and the temperature dropped so much it was necessary to request heating, which was offered after getting smirks and questions about my capacity to take on the cold. The staff attitude is disastrous. They are trying their best but evidently there is a management team that has made this to be “hotel disaster”. The breakfast was horrible, soggy and a bot cold. They only had one poor girl tending on 24 tables (I have video of this) and then she was also the one sorting out the rooms!! The manager (a dude in glasses) showed up the next day and “helped”, put an apron on, teamed with a guy that looked half awaken from a binge drinking night to serve breakfasts, with an attitude twice as bad as that of their front line staff. Stay away from this hell hole. This is the first time I take the time to provide a review this long bit people need to be aware and the owners of this place need to sort their management out. Give that girl a pay raise. She keeps the place together and still gets an awful treatment by the rest of the staff.

The carpeting was filthy, bed super uncomfortable and I know it’s an older building, but I couldn’t help but feel badly for the people below us as the floors made loads of noise with every step we took.

Location was very convenient if travelling to St Ives by public transport. Staff helpful. Only let down was cleanliness of bathroom and noisy visitors who don't consider other people staying. Don't forgot to pack a pair of earplugs.

Convenient to the beach. The hotel room was overlooking the sea, which was beautiful. The furnishings were a little tired. Finding a spot to park was difficult even though they said parking was available, they never explained exactly where it was located which was in the back across a busy road and a very small, tight garage that was difficult to park in, very tight space. Initially the staff did not explain where to park and i had to drive around a one way system 4 times to finally see where it was located.

St Ives Bay Hotel was an ideal for our short stay in St Ives, perfect location, the room, although a little tired looking in certain areas, was clean, spacious and a great sea view. The staff were very pleasant, courteous and helpful, especially the gentleman that handled our check in. We needed a hotel that was dog friendly, the St Ives Bay didn't disappoint in any way, we even got a spot in the car park. Would highly recommend.
