The only fault is the price of the rooms are expensive a deluxe room over looking flat utility area rooms and a car park was very disappointing. The bathroom is dated and small. The room was a good size however. I think youre paying for the sea view location from the front of the hotel.

Really pleased with our stay at Royal Duchy Hotel. The staff were all absolutely brilliant, friendly and helpful. Our room was massive and very clean and had everything we needed. Both a large shower and a large bath in our room. Facilities area and pool also very nice. Free dry robes to borrow, if needed, were a nice touch, although we didnt use them this time unfortunately. Cooked breakfast was the nicest we ever tasted! Sausages were gigantic and amazing quality, again waiting staff were very accommodating and helpful. Location brilliant! Parking was easy as they have plenty of spaces. Overall we are extremely pleased with our stay and will be staying again in the future!

Room small but clean. Receptionist polite and booked a morning taxi for me. Very impressed that room had GF biscuits and oat milk by the kettle, I really appreciated this indeed it is the first hotel I have stayed in that has ever done this in advance, they had noted my breakfast request and done it for the room tea tray too. Breakfast was in very large room, over 30 tables set with flowers overlooking the sea. I arrived first at breakfast, no other guests and was led to the worst table in the room at the back by the kitchen. I was told all the other tables were allocated. Awful. This has happened to me at other hotels. I asked to be moved to a table with view by window and the person in charge grudgingly made this possible. I was not made to feel very welcome. However, breakfast was tasty, and the sunrise over the sea was stunning. When I left half an hour later there were still no other guests in the room to fill all those \" allocated\" tables.

The hotel is very comfortable, the location terrific and the staff extremely helpful. I was surprised by the somewhat unimaginative breakfast selection - no sugar-free muesli, nuts, seeds, etc, and only sweet spreads for toast. The portions were generous but I missed my daily shot of sugar-free fibre.

Nice sea view from sea-facing rooms.
There was scaffolding, which obscured the view of some of the inland-facing rooms.
Pool / sauna are great. Pool has a shallow area sectioned off for kids. There's a small gym too.
Many car park spaces were infinged by excess vegetation or skip. A couple of spaces not really accessible due to the center of a 'mini roundabout'.
Two EV chargers available via some app (didn't use them).

Restaurant service at both breakfast and dinner, painfully slow. Having been seated, we then waited ten minutes for a menu. Then another long wait for the order to be taken. Long waits between courses.
Coffee/ tea served first at breakfast, but obviously cold by the time cooked food arrived 25 minutes later. I understand that some people eat from the continental buffet whilst waiting- we don’t. An observant server would have noticed this and notified the kitchen. The restaurant was never more than half-full.
The food was good when it finally arrived.
On the plus side, the bar service was exemplary. Order taken and food and drink arrived promptly.

It was an very positive experience from beginning to ending of the stay at this hotel. The staff were very professional and helpful, the inside of the hotel was very clean and immaculate. A very nice and extensive menu almost to suit every individual. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend others to this place

Lovely hotel with friendly staff, bedroom was clean and looked after every day of our stay... Beds were very comfortable and communal areas nicely decorated. We also pool during our stay which was great fun for our son...we would definitely visit again if we will stay in the area.

A Must Stay

Soon as you walk into reception you’re greeted by friendly smiling staff who checked us in quickly, explained all about the hotel, brilliant start to the most amazing long weekend that just got better.
It’s a place you can just stay there for your vacation and not venture out, beautiful, peaceful and you will not want for anything.

We loved this hotel in Falmouth. Great service from the minute we were generously offered a welcome drink on check in, convenient free parking and a great location. Room was great and the bathroom had lovely big fluffy bath towels and nice products. Breakfast was outstanding, I have high expectations for the dinner service! Our last minute 1 night stay went far too quickly so we'll be back for a few nights next time to make the most of the hotel, spa, bar and restaurant! Really pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Thank you.

Great breakfast and the bar food is good.
The general areas are well kept and comfortable with plenty of staff to attend to any needs.
Views out to sea and the terraces lovely also access to the beach is a convenient walk away.
The pool is clean and not overly busy but needs some repairs.
The main restaurant food doesn’t quite live up to expectations.
However, the sea facing bedrooms are well appointed and spacious.

The hotel looks very good, clean, comfortable beds and they also have a good size and very clean bathroom .
The star of this hotel is the terrace and having breakfast/ dinner there watching the sea is just amazing!
The breakfast was good but the service provided by the gentleman (Allan) who served is was outstanding!
We would definitely come back!

A good mid range hotel with open views across the bay. Very clean with pleasant staff. The manageress in charge of breakfast on Sunday morning, 19/5/24, was the exception. For her, my arrival at 07:30 presented a challenge with which she coped with a marked lack of grace. My request for a sea view table in the totally empty restaurant also proved a ‘problem’. Such a shame when one person lets down the efforts of the team

Fabulous Room ( 214 ) with stunning uninterrupted views of the sea. Terrace Bar and the dinning experience excellent. Wanted the weekend to be a little bit special to celebrate my Wife’s Birthday and the RDH did just that.

Comfortable but lacking personal service

The room was small but well appointed despite having a rough view out the back. Getting into the small bathroom was a tad difficult as you had to walk in sideways due to the gap between the basin and wall being just 38cm. At breakfast on the 2nd morning I ordered porridge but was to to get the required honey from the self-service buffet - it was a large Kilner Jar and transferring it and then the Marmalade into little jars was a really messy affair and unnecessary if they had provided little jars on the table like they had for jam. I ordered the hot toast with the cooked breakfast - it never arrived. I asked for 2 sausages as I decided against including black pudding, tomato and beans - I got just the one! I'm not sure why but there was only green back bacon and no smoked bacon on offer- Why? The staff at breakfast were rather indifferent as was the receptionist all bland and unsmiling - not very welcoming that's for sure! I've always held Brend Hotel in high regard as I knew the original owner Percy Brend back in the 1980's - it seems the service and quality has slipped from his time.

Disappointing

Disappointed with our room very small other family members booked after and had more spacious rooms put this down to the fact we used our Tesco rewards via Hotel.com, bathroom had a sewage smell, light bulb blown only realised once light turned off had to remove as flashing on doing this lampshade/bulb very dusty, informed reception on departing. Also found a receipt under desk from previous day.
Can not fault staff all very welcoming.
