The only thing about the Beresford hotel was that the sheets were clean,the sink had no plug, there was no soap in the sink dispenser, the shower curtain was dirty, the TV didn't work, I had to go to reception to get a towel, the second window wouldn't close and there was no breakfast not even coffee available in the morning in one word dreadful

A tired hotel in need of modernisation. Few staff, little parking available, even simple things like no TV in the room. Our room had a skylight that couldn't be closed off so light in the room very early and the skylight was a magnet for the seagulls. Would recommend looking at other options before booking here.

This hotel was a disgrace and Hotel.com should not be affiliated with it in any way.

The bed was broken, the room smelled strongly of smoke, the carpets were digesting and it didn’t feel safe.

There were 2 guests who showed me photos on they’d taken of a large amount of mouldy, rotten food from the kitchen and the bar area had dirty mattresses piled up from floor to ceiling.

One of the ladies had been bitten by insects/bugs during her few hours in the lobby.

I didn’t stay and ended up spending a small
fortune to book into the Premier Inn next door.

I didn’t even ask for a refund at the time as the ladies had been trying to get one for hours.

Do not visit this hotel, the pictures are totally misleading.

How hotels like this stay open are a mistery. The hotel is in terrible condition and it's nothing like the pictures on the website shows.
There were mattresses just sitting near the staircase leading up to the rooms. The area where the bar should have been, was a derelict and there was no bar whatsoever.
The room was nothing like you would expect for the price. The soap holders in the bathroom were empty.
You wouldn't pay more than £30 should you see the state of the place before booking.
Avoid at all cost.

First of all, the manager was very helpful - a nice guy from Egypt. So I want to make that clear - it's not his fault, or his wife or toddler who were in the lobby a lot while I waited 45 mins to check in.

But the rooms were just so bad. Stains on the floor, tiny 12\" TV on the wall and so hot I had to sit there with no clothes on in order to tolerate it. Upon which one fo the staff walked into my room without knocking to ask if I had towls. Again, I was naked.

No, there were no towls and I had to dry myself with my own clothes.

I don't think they had a bar or any ammienties, it was more like a run down hostel with seperate bedrooms. I had the view of a skip with a filthy mattress in it, I kid you not.

It was so bad I checked out after a couple hours and booked a hotel further up the road which was much better. I didn't ask for my money back becuase I should have checked the reviews before. It's totally my fault for booking without doing so.

If you are a young couple on a really tight budget and don't mind being really hot and sleeping somewhere not very nice, this is a cheap option, but for everyone else I would look elsewhere. Honestly, I would say this is a 1 star hotel, and I'm rating 2 stars becuase the manager was nice.

Again, I just want to be clear the manager was really nice and looked crestfallen when I said he was checking out. He was a really nice guy and it's not his fault the hotel he works at is bad.

Matresses blocking hallways. No soap in dispensers for simple bathroom hygiene. No protective covers on mattresse, just a fitted sheet on top. Windows with no handles. 8 parking spaces that you can't prebook, but if you are lucky it costs £10 per night. DO NOT STAY HERE

When we arrived there was nobody at reception to check us in so had to ring the main office then someone did turn up.We had to use 3 flights of steep stairs with a heavy door to open at the top as the lift was out of order.The room on the 3rd floor (314) smelt musty,Carpet worn away by the bedroom door showing the gripper rod and nails,Wall was damaged in a couple of places,Mattress had no protector on it, Staff said they didn't have one when I asked for one,TV damaged screen,Room hot and when I asked for a different room they said none available and that they would bring a fan to our room which never happened. Bathroom looked like it had been recently improved but on the first two nights we had no hot water and there was no lock on the bathroom door.This hotel is not fit for purpose

Window clasp disintegrated- big H&S issue!!!! That was just our room - only decent thing was our sea view. Staff pretended to be helpful. I did mention to gent on desk that it’s a shame you’ve had brand new carpet fitted yet No one is bothered about hoovering it! The front window displays of laundry is not a welcome you want to see….

Very polite staff but the property is very tired and not well maintained with 1 room not having any soap and beds be stored in the open at the stairwell. The rooms both needed a deep hoover around the edges. Parking is also very expensive at £10 a night with no guarantee of keeping the spot if you leave.

While it is nice that the hotel is right by the beach and there is wifi at the hotel, the hotel lobby and common rooms were messy and not very clean. The TV didn't work well most of the time, there is no elevator, so wheelchair access is poor. The room was not cleaned during our stay, so the rubbish piled up. I recommend you bring your own clothes hangers and face towels if needed. We had booked a room with separate beds and when we arrived, there was one single bed and the room was on the sscond floor which is hard for me to access by stairs so we asked to have a different room. We were promised that we could have a twin room on a lower floor the next day, however when asked about this the next day we were told that all the rooms were already booked up. This is the hotel for you only if you are looking for a place to spend the night. The food availability in the hotel is very mysterious, it is probably not available.

I think we had the smallest room at the hotel with a dog! We arrived at the hotel straight from the beach and while my husband was in the shower we discovered no towels were in the room. I had to go down two floors (lift broken!) just for staff to tell me sorry no towels available while they wait for their linen delivery. It would have been very helpful to be told this at check-in ten minutes prior! The room was boiling hot and no fan available in the whole hotel. We booked for three nights and left after one!

When we arrived at the hotel we were charged an extra £10 to park. No mention of that booking. The Hotel looked like it had been closed down for refurbishment wet paint signs all in reception no furniture. arrived at our rooms had beautiful views but rooms were very tired and dated. carpets are filthy and radiators, filthy bathroom really outdated blocked toilets no loo roll. Shower was awful no power whatsoever very very small cubicle.Just one cup in a room for two people. Kettle has old water in from previous occupants.
The worst thing was on our return in the evening the fire alarm went off numerous times from 3 am really really loud we were actually afraid but nobody came to reassure us. Nobody was around. We went out into the hallway where we heard lots of screaming and shouting on the floor above but no reassurance from the Hotel whatsoever really need to look into the safety procedures. We emailed to explain our concerns and did not even get a reply. Honestly, I would give this Hotel a miss. It’s not up to standard we stayed for one night just felt sorry for anyone that had booked that for a few days. Looking forward to a break in Newquay. You would be totally disappointed.

This hotel was not good. We walked in and the first thing you could smell was cigarette smoke. Once we had got to our room, we found there was no towels, the fan provided didn't work, the bedding didn't fit on the beds and there were hairs all over the bathroom. There was only one available socket and it was coming off the wall. The ceiling looked like it was so water damaged.

Such a shame as it is a good location and parking nearby wasn't horrendous to find. If you aren't fussy about where you sleep, this may work just as somewhere to sleep. Very disappointed.

I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to think carefully before booking.

Our original room was unacceptable. There was a strong smell of damp that triggered my asthma. There appeared to be faeces on a towel and the carpet, the bedding was dirty, pillowcases stained, mould was present, and the bathroom tiles appeared to have bodily fluids on them. The room clearly had not been properly cleaned.

To be fair, a member of staff apologised and moved us to another room. However, while slightly better, it was still dirty. The toilet bin contained waste left by a previous guest. My son’s room was also below any acceptable standard.

There was no hot water in any of the rooms and the shower pressure was extremely poor.

The problems were not limited to the bedrooms. The common areas were also dirty and poorly maintained, giving the impression of a neglected property with very poor housekeeping standards.

We were in Newquay for close friends’ wedding. We looked for alternative accommodation but nothing suitable was available at short notice. Our choice was either to drive six hours home after the wedding or return to the hotel and leave first thing the next morning.

I genuinely dreaded returning there that evening. This is, without question, the filthiest and most unhygienic hotel I have ever stayed in. I have photographs of the conditions described and will be reporting the property to Environmental Health and raising the matter with Expedia.

I am writing to formally raise a serious complaint regarding my recent hotel booking and to request a full refund. I have now checked out of the property due to extremely poor conditions that made it impossible for me to continue my stay. Upon arrival, I found that the room was not clean and did not meet basic hygiene standards. The carpet was visibly dirty, and the overall condition of the room was unacceptable for accommodation that was advertised as suitable for guests. In addition, several essential facilities within the property were not functioning properly, including the lift, which was out of service. This created further inconvenience and raised concerns about the maintenance and safety of the property.

The condition of the hotel was not as described on the booking platform and did not match the images or expectations provided at the time of reservation. I believe this constitutes a clear case of misrepresentation of services. I immediately raised my concerns with the property staff; however, there was no effective response or effort made to resolve the issues or offer an alternative room in acceptable condition. Due to the lack of action and the unacceptable living conditions, I had no choice but to leave the property and discontinue my stay.

I would also like to highlight that this experience caused significant inconvenience and distress, as I had already made travel arrangements expecting a safe and clean environment. I have photo and video evidence documenting

The hotel was dirty and there was nobody at the front desk. You had to call a number and wait for someone to come. The room was adequate, but smelled like a wet dog. The window was open in the room when I walked in and it had condensation on it. There were only a few parking spaces in the front, which were already reserved for other guests.

Do not stay at this hotel. I booked it for my daughter and my autistic grandson. I planned ahead and messaged them asking for extra amenities. When my daughter got there she had mugs and tea/coffee but NO kettle. I rang the main number which turned out to be in Bournemouth and the staff said he would contact the hotel and get a kettle and some towels delivered. By the evening still no kettle!! I then messaged and got a reply saying they would send housekeeping up with a kettle and towels. It never arrived. During the night my daughter was calling me saying how scared she was as people were outside shouting and banging doors in the hallway. she was to scared to sleep, I felt total useless. Concerned for her safety she got up and dressed at 5am got packed and got my grandson up and left. The taxi driver even said he wouldn't recomend this hotel. What was meant to be a nice half term break for my daughter and grandson ended up being a scary knightmare. I'd recomend paying the extra at least you would have a kettle and feel safe in your bed at night. It's not family or young children safe.

I booked for 3 nights and ended up checking out after the first night. It was a disaster from the time arrived. I had confirmation that I had a parking space reserved only to be told that there wasn’t one when I arrived. They told me check in was at 3pm. I went back at 3.30pm and they said my room wasn’t ready. I finally checked in at 3.50pm. My room was on the 3rd floor. The lift was out of service. I had to climb 3 floors with luggage and 2 young kids and not to mention I have a mobility issue. When we got the the room, there wasn’t any cooling facility, so we had to sleep with the windows open as it was 32 degrees heat. The window faced the main road so safe to say no one got any sleep. The blinds were broken so we slept in a bright room. The shower was cutting out mid shower, no soap/shower gel in the dispensers and there was no waste paper basket. They left two bin bags folded. I have complained to Expedia and I hope they will be refunding the 2 nights. Do not even bother! The photos on the website do not match the actually property.

I booked last minute to stay here and the pictures looked ok on hotels.com.

In reality, it was my worst experience checking in and when I eventually got the key to my room (ROOM 1) it was in the worst condition I've ever experienced.

I waited 45 minutes whilst the hotel guy spoke in Arabic (he told another guest he was speaking in Arabic so I haven't guessed) to his colleagues/other person behind the desk. After 30 minutes of him coming and going and no room forthcoming I asked again what was happening. He said they were waiting for my room.

Another guy then negotiated a cash price for a room and was promptly given a key.

My key came after 45 minutes - I asked if my room was clean to which he replied yes!!!!

In between the chaos other guests upped and left the hotel - it looked like in desperation. Once I got to my room I found unmade, slept in beds covered in urine. I have pictures to support this. I stayed in the room for less than a minute and immediately checked out. The hotel staff were not bothered in the slightest as they had my money. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY. IT IS NOT A HOTEL

Please do not book! Worst experience I’ve ever had. This establishment is well past its prime and I’ve stayed in better hostels and received more professionalism. In a nut shell I was expected to stay in this shabby, run down establishment over a full weekend in a unkept, unclean horrible environment with no television which was falling off the wall and a sticky remote which didn’t work and no signal due to apparent high winds damaging the aerial which meant every tv in the hotel didn’t work. What’s more in my silence I was to listen to ongoing building work at 7pm on a Friday night. Mind you I can’t understand what was being built as the place was falling apart. No apology was provided and it’ll work on Monday was explained. The room itself was very basic with unclean sheets, I didn’t delve any deeper, and my room was looking across a small interior courtyard into another room. No net curtains provided privacy so I was expected to stay, after a 6 hour drive, in a room listening to the sound of building work instead of sea waves whilst sitting in the dark with no natural light or open window sea air. I checked out after 20 minutes assured I would be compensated for the inconvenience which was then declined by the host on numerous attempts by Expedia and I was simply told there was nothing I could do but watch my hard earned money go to waste as this money would clearly not be used for future renovations as this host doesn’t care about operating in the industry!

The large light fixture in the lobby that was only suspended by its wiring, next to the glass door with large cracks in it \"repaired\" with a strip of packing tape, should paint the picture. Things did not improve from there.

The owners need to replace the staff and put in a few hundred thousand pounds of refurbishment, or sell the place to an entity that treats a beachfront locale as valuable.

While I appreciate the affordable rate, staying there was a frustrating and really just sad experience.

I mean, the TV didn't work. In a hotel in England in 2026 the TV didn't work. Think about how much hotel proprietors have to have given up on doing the very basics of their jobs for there to be a non-functioning television in a guest's room. We would have called down to the front desk about it... but there was no telephone.

The guy who worked at reception was excellent. He was very friendly and helpful.

We arrived late around 8pm. When we booked in there was no parking left to use.

The guy at reception said no problem you can use my parking space around the back, he said there was room for us and guided us around.

He then waited at the back door and let us in to save us walking around to the front of this large hotel.

Excellent service from a great and friendly guy.

The hotel itself is very tired and run down. Our room was clean so we were not that bothered by it.

It was very cheap for the night so bear that in mind you get what you pay for. If you’re easy going like us you wont care.

We enjoyed our stay which was made better by the efforts of the friendly guy at reception.

This was most probably one of the worst hotels
I have ever stayed in. We knew as soon as we saw the outside it was going to be grim!!!.
The reception guy was nice enough. Firstly he went to put us in a room on the 3rd floor. When i told him i was disabled he moved us to the 2nd floor. Luckily he got the lift working. But what he didnt mention was thst to actually get to the room ypu need to go up 2 flights of stairs.
When we finally got to the room the corridor carpet was filthy. Once we entered the room, the room itself was ok. I was too frightened to look at the matress as there was no protecters but after a 9 hour drive all we wanted was a good nights sleep. I then opened the bathroom door and the stench was unbearable id never smelt anything like it. We opened the window wgich did very little.. my friend who suffers from sinus problems was up most of the night with terrible sinuses. I had to spray purfume on my pillow to overcome the smell.
Whem we awoke the following day exhausted with headaches as during the night the fire alarms went off twice. We looked at online reviews and read that the smell was septic gas. We were horrified to read that it can actually kill you so we considered ourselfs very lucky .
Outside parking reads reserved but we parked for free . We also sneaked 2 dogs in
No breakfast facilities or onsite restaurant.

Everything needs replacing and gutted. Our room was clean but had splashs of white paint over the most stained carpet ive ever seen! The walls had bern painted but with two different shades of grey halfway down, the bathroom was clean but only had half a shower screen attached. The bed......my side was fine but my husband had terrible aches in the morning, bedding was clean but i dare not check under the mattress protector!

During my recent hotel stay with my partner, the experience was completely unacceptable. On arrival at 16:30 we were told our beds weren’t made due to a late linen delivery. Even when we returned at 20:30, the room still wasn’t ready. Although the hotel claimed to be accessible, one lift was broken and the other was too small for my wheelchair, forcing me to use crutches and climb stairs to reach our room.

The room door was wedged shut due to thick paint on the frame, and neither of us could open it. After requesting a room change, we were told the only available room was on the 3rd floor, but the lift only went up, not down, making it impossible for me as a wheelchair user. We agreed to have the door frame shaved down, which took until around 23:15.

We then discovered the heating didn’t work and the water was barely warm, so we couldn’t shower after a 7‑hour journey. From 23:35 onwards, the fire alarm went off repeatedly throughout the night (around 7 times), preventing any sleep. The next morning we moved to a nearby hotel and lost the first day of our holiday.

When we returned to request a refund, the fire brigade had closed the hotel because the alarm system couldn’t be repaired. The manager claimed they had reported themselves to booking sites.

Very very dusty, dirty pillows, dirty spoon and cups, bath looked like a mechanic just washed in there, no heating, spoken to reception and the lady was very helpful, they shown us. Another room in same condition but the toilet was leaking. Asked for a refund and told 3-5 working days... That was last Sunday, week later still nothing! Hotels. Com not been helpful either no response! I'm not a fussy person but I've never seen anything like this place! Went to the next door hotel to a clean room with heating.

Nice hotel on the seafront, easy access to the beach and promenade. Staff very helpful and friendly; nice reception area with beach view and easy parking (booked in advance). Clean room, although no sea views, but only stayed one night and didn’t matter much. Will definitely book again.

The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Parking was really good and right outside the front door. The location is great and within easy walking distance of town and the beaches.

However, the hotel is very tired, the rooms need a complete revamp and more than a lick of paint. I’d stay here again, but I’d bear in mind that it’s definitely not a luxury hotel and you get what you pay for.

Nice staff, shame about the hotel

The hotel is looking very sad and tired. There are stains and signs of damage pretty much everywhere you look and the entrance lobby smelt like a sewer for some reason. I was encouraged to leave my key in the drop box on the front desk but only once did the staff ask for any proof of who I was when I came to pick up the key later in the day, which didn't feel very secure. Parking outside the hotel is very limited and charged at £10 per day, which seems a bit steep in my opinion. The bed was absolutely knackered and there was a large gap under the door, which let in light from the hallway. All in all a very tired and sad state of affairs indeed. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly but the hotel itself is in dire need of some TLC.

Amazing Last Minute Find

Had a lovely 2 night stay at The Beresford Hotel. My daughter and I shared a sea view twin room with ensuite.

On arrival it looks quite run down and parking isnt great and is limited, however if you get a space they print a sign stating your name and reg number for £5 per night. This ensures you a parking space.

We had an Assistance Dog and a retired Assistance Dog, who is now old and nothing was too much trouble and thevwere made to feel welcome, along with us.

The beds were comfortable and the room was well equipped, personally the small table and chairs were brilliant for me as I like to write. The bathroom was clean and had all you needed.

The seaview was amazing and the cost of thr room was fantastic.

We will be returning again soon. Thank you.

Poor Hotel in a beautiful place and great staff

Clean room, Great staff, accommodating all requests and smiling all time. Polite and friendly.

Sadly the Hotel is very poor in terms of how is kept and maintained. The lining paper on walls or ceiling is peeling off, the mould on the shower glass, the furniture in general is rusty and old: the carpet, the ceiling lights everywhere are not properly attached and weirdly pending from the ceiling with spiders inside too. All colours are towards grey or brown, so not great atmosphere or mood. No bar present so we couldn't have a coffee or something else in the Hotel to drink.

Again, the staff is great because are very helpful but for the price we paid (180£ and more), honestly, is not worth at all what we had, apart form the sea view. It's definitely not a 3 stars Hotel, I would rate it just as 1 star. The premier inn just beside on the same dates had a cost which was half the price we paid: if I knew it beforehand I would have booked there.

I feel I have been frauded for the price I paid.

ok this is not the fault of the staff but more the fault of Expedia ..when we booked the hotel it was a last minute thing having already been badly let down by BOOKING .CON ..the hotel is very tired and worn rooms are very grubby and dated with stained carpets everywhere peeling paint etc .it was more on the lines of a DHSS HMO ..
it was advertised as having a restaurant and bar ..NO it doesn't .the staff were as helpful as you possibly wish for and actually gave us the choice of 3 different rooms as we were there and really couldn't be bothered with trying to find anywhere else we settled for the best .the beds were extremely comfortable ( surprisingly ) and the view was terrific .we managed I think because we had so much trouble with booking .com we just accepted it .

They dont advise you need to pre reserve parking at a cost per day.
Also didnt offer breakfast over the busy valentines weekend.
The rooms we were given were not the same as they advertised. We were given tiny family rooms with no view. The rooms shown on webiste were bigger and brighter.
We refused to stay.

Rooms could do with a make over but it did not effect my stay. Location for train station and bus station excellent. All the way through my stay marrisa went above and beyond her job title.

Dont bother

On arrival i checked to make sure I was parked in the right place only to be told if I parked it would cost £10!! So we parked our car two roads away for free and walked back to the hotel.

I asked if we could book a dinner in the restaurant however it was closed. The man told us we could get breakfast next door at the Premier Inn!!! We had to go to the city centre for dinner. As it was out of season mostly everything was shut.

Our room was on the fourth floor with a great view. Very basic, bin not emptied, bathroom freezing and rusty wall heater did not work. No bathroom commoditees.

I would not reccommend the hotel as it was a very disappointing stay for my husbands birthday.

Budget dated hotel. Great location, friendly staff

Location is excellent. Central in Newquay and right on the sea front ovelooking Tolcarne beach. Easy to walk to and lovely sandy beach. All staff very friendly and helpful. However hotel is very dated and run down. Please see photo of actual room there. So different from the photos upgraded to another room when complained.There is no parking included however from October to April can park for free on nearby roads.

Fair out of season stay...

On arrival at the front of the hotel it looked closed as it had no outside lighting, not even the hotel sign was lit, some might have been concerned, even walked away, given the untidy, distressed look to the hotel which is somewhat dire.

The hotel’s location proved to be wonderfully convenient for the town centre, local public transport connections and all the other amenities this seaside town had to offer.

Staying in late autumn and ‘out of season’ in a seaside resort town, guests are always going to have expect to compromise on the facilities that any hotel has to offer and the Beresford is no exception, the restaurant was not open for dinner (and I was not offered breakfast so I speculate not open for breakfast either) and on my visit the bar was also closed; in fact the communal areas were as empty as a ‘ghost town’.

The welcome was friendly and efficient, the lift worked, however most rooms you still have to climb up some stairs to enter.

The corridors leading to the rooms did not give a good impression having dirty stained carpets and walls on every turn.

The single room I stayed in was large for a solo room and soon warmed up when the heating was activated and the windows closed.

Notably, the bed, mattress, linen, duvet and pillows were endearingly comfortable and aided a good nights sleep.

The television was large and modern plus all the free-view channels were present; with the Wi-Fi also reasonable speedy and having good connecti
