A very old hotel which promotes itself as upmarket with a spa. There are a lot of levels, lots of stairs and a very old lift.
We had a Sea view room expecting a luxury stay. Whilst the view was spectacular of St Ives beach, the room promoted as King Size bed, definitely wasn't. Rooms are spacious but bathrooms are tiny. There was no walk-in shower as requested but a bath/shower combo impossible for a short person to get in and out of. The space between the bath and bedroom was barely wide enough to get to the basin which had no bench space for your toiletries.
The room was warm and there is no air-conditioning but a small fan was provided. Complimentary gin and tonic in the room and an ineffective mini-fridge with some mini bar items.
The hallways were noisy, the wood floor creaked and you could hear doors banging all night.
Used the pool in the spa which was very relaxing. Change rooms had lockers and showers. There was also a bathers spin to get the water out! Hair-dryer and curling wand available for use and towels also provided.
Breakfast was included in room rate but was only for continental selection. You could order hot items from the menu which was extra.
Ate in the restaurant. Food was delicious but overpriced. When paying we were pressured to include the optional service fee although service was not anything but ordinary making this one very expensive meal. There are not many other restaurants nearby unless you walk downhill to the town centre and then its a very s

The driver (I think he was originally from Liverpool) was super helpful and friendly and gave us lots of tips.
The male receptionist (originally from
Birmingham) was also very helpful and friendly.
The other staff were ok but these two are a credit to the hotel.

Location location location. It is right in St Ives on the beach. Work out facilities were dated. Loud music playing with no consideration for guests working out. The restaurant is not a destination. Many other better options in the area. A watch out. If traveling with lots of luggage get ready for a strenuous pilgrimage from the train to the hotel up a winding path with stairs.

We enjoyed the Hotel and its amenities eg indoor pool, jacuzzi, wet and dry sauna plus the spa. I had a massage and one of the best at a hotel in the UK. The room was comfortable and bathroom a good size. However, the bedroom window with views of the sea was small, so disappointing but will upgrade next time as the views are so worth it! The location of the hotel is ideal for using the train and access to the lovely sandy beach. Walking to the centre of the town is about 10 mins and easy but coming back is all up hill so be prepared as there are no buses. If you love seafood St Ives has plenty. The hotel bar area and dining room deliver the amazing views too with food good! We will be back next year in June instead of May for warmer weather. And finally the staff were friendly and helpful.

It was our dream to visit St.Ives all the way from Japan and we decided to stay at this hotel which reached to our expectation. The quality and atmosphere of the room over looking the beach was impressive. The room and every corner of the hotel was taken care accurately and neatly with the a kind of pride and affection of the owner and staffs. The breakfast was not gorgeous like a modern 5 star hotel, but it was good enough to enjoy the touch of a fresh morning in England. We would love to come back again to reminisce the unforgettable experience we had this time.

Lovely hotel, beautiful views and comfy rooms. Breakfast was nice but a shame you pay extra for anything outside the continental. Would need aircon if it got any hotter than when we were there. Would definitely stay again.

Had a poor experience at this hotel I would not visit again I checked in 31st March had a long drive down the woman on the reception was not helpful at all we checked in slightly earlier but she just said check in is 3pm I get that I’ve travelled the world my point is she was just rude she couldn’t even suggest in waiting in the lobby, I had to take all my cases back to the car as there is no direct car park for this hotel which is another joke no one tells you this till you arrive so they take your keys away we don’t know where it gets parked and they keep the keys, well I wasn’t going to let that happen.
Went for dinner that night the guy that welcomed us was very nice and welcoming as for the other staff which really let’s this places down are very lazy not pro active I asked for 2 cocktails a pornstar Martini I’ve never seen a pot rat martini served like this before was so watered down and the presentation was poor, dinner was good apart from the desert chocalte pudding more like rock hard straight out the freezer when asked the waiter he said he would let the chef know that’s no good like I said poor customer service let’s thisplaced down then at brekkie my chair broke in front of everyone again the staff are not active at all so lazy I had to ask if I could move tables and then on top of that we had to wait for our cooked breakfast over 30 mins bearing in mind the hotel is not busy yet so I dread to think what it would’ve like at peak

Disappointing
Although refurbished to a good standard, the hotel has unfortunately kept a 1930s style lift, great to look at, but quite useless as a functioning lift. Particularly useless if you’re on the fourth floor as it only goes to three. It has a metal shutter style inner door that if left open when leaving, renders the lift inoperable. In a three day stay I had to find the lift on at least six occasions to close the door as my wife needed to use it. I would therefore, not recommend this hotel to anyone with mobility problems.
The staff were very friendly and as helpful as they could be. Evening meals were good but kept the same menu so quite repetitive. The English breakfast was inedible. Fried egg burnt on the bottom, raw on top. Sausage with a skin so tough it was difficult to cut, and the remainder of the items had spent too long under a heat lamp so they had dried out.
Great views but the hotel needs some sorting out.

The hotel allows children to use the indoor pool only between 9am - 10am and between 3pm - 4 pm. We couldn’t find that information when we booked, and the member of staff at the reception didn’t advise us that when we asked about the availability of the indoor pool with my daughter. It was disappointing. The hotel itself and general services were nice.

Room was spotless, loved the location, short walk to downalong and minutes walk from the beach. Views from the hotel restaurant are outstanding, and staff were all welcoming and friendly. You cant park nearby, but there is an easy set up for pulling up outside in temporary parking opposite and they will then take your car and you can request it is bought back for checkout, or inbetween. We enjoyed the freedom of not driving, all amenities were a short stroll away.

Decent enough. One thing that did annoy me is that I found the mini bar and tea and coffee facilities in a cupboard which I never used. It wasn’t until the morning of the check out that I realised they were there. Food in the dining room was of a good standard and the serving staff were good. Spa was ok for free, staff in the the spa didn’t really acknowledge me. Just told me to sign out when I left. All in all a decent enough hotel but I thought £500 for a couple of nights for two in November was a little on the expensive side.

Disappointed with the service. Although my Hotels.com booking clearly stated a double bed and a single bed, we were given a family room with a double bed and a bunk bed. When I raised the issue, the staff claimed that the requested option wasn’t visible in their system and blamed the third-party booking platform. However, my confirmation clearly showed the bed request. For nearly £400 a night, I expected reliability and transparency. Unfortunately, the receptionist was dismissive and made no effort to accommodate the request. This experience has left me unable to trust the booking process and very dissatisfied with the service.

The hotel is conveniently located about a 15 minute walk from the centre of St. Ives and is directly above Porthminster Beach. In terms of overall amenities and service, I would rate this property at no more than 4 stars. We stayed in an ocean facing room with a balcony. The room only had a double bed and a very small bathroom. The balcony was not cleaned and the chairs and table had bird droppings on them, making it not pleasant to use. Our daughters had a room without a view on the lower ground floor; the room was bigger and had a king sized bed and a sizeable bathroom.

Great walkable area not far from the harbour, shops, restaurants. Staff was wonderful. Our only complaint was getting from the train from St Erth into St Ives. I wish there was some type of warning from the hotel. No lift from incoming train over to St Ives platform with luggage was no fun then getting the luggage from the train up to the hotel was very difficult. Take a cab from St Erth to the hotel if you have more than hand luggage.

Recent visit

I know it’s very easy to criticise a stay but we have stayed in most of the harbour hotels and this one lacks the sparkle we normally expect. Service was very slow and tables left uncleared for lengthy periods. Not blaming the good staff but they were sparse and under pressure. There were stains on the bed base and carpets and shower hard to use and this was in one the the most expensive rooms. We ordered room service one item didn’t turn up and the other was not what we ordered so again not great. We generally love the harbour group but after recent visits to salcombe beach hotel this was disappointing with few staff and little management influence.

Nice hotel, terrible room

It was very clear from check-in that I'd be receiving a sub par room because I'd booked via a partner as the receptionist put it! The hotel was far from full yet I was given a lower ground floor room very close to the road, with stairs leading down to a bathroom that was freezing and prone to condensation. I had to wear a jacket each time I went to the toilets and to brush my teeth. Rest of the hotel, the bar and the restaurant were lovely but wouldn't go back given my experience.

Perfect Hotel for a St Ives Visit
After much research, I chose this hotel and couldn’t have been happier.

We previously stayed at the Carbis Bay Hotel, but since the G7 summit, prices there have soared, and the walk or train into town feels inconvenient.

Sea view rooms are a must. We enjoyed stunning sunsets as boats returned to harbour and even spotted dolphins playing in the morning. The in-room binoculars were a brilliant touch.

The hotel combines modern, stylish design with the charm of an older building, featuring winding corridors leading to the spa. The spa is sleek, with a well-sized pool, two excellent saunas, a jacuzzi, and loungers offering stunning bay views. A full range of treatments is available.

The bar and restaurant are creatively decorated and maximise the views. Food and drinks were enjoyable and met expectations.

Things to Know:
•The walk to town is 7–8 minutes downhill and uphill on return via steps or a steep slope.
•Train and bus stations are a 5-minute walk. Valet parking is efficient—use the bays opposite the entrance and give notice when you need your car.

Overall:
I was fully satisfied and will definitely return.

We had a one night stay at the Harbour Hotel (St Ives) as a couple in a sea view room. We had a nice stay on the whole.

The Spa with swimming pool was a lovely addition that also included a jacuzzi.

The settings at the Harbour Hotel was lovely inside and very clean as was the rooms.

Reception and the Spa staff approachable if you needed anything at all.

Our only negative of the hotel was that on entering our room, you were hit by an uncomfortable stifling heat. We immediately switched the heating off and tried to open the window which would not stay open for us! Again no biggie as we went out for a coffee whilst the room cooled down. We had to sleep with the window open all night as it still felt uncomfortably hot overnight. But on the whole a nice stay.

View from room stunning, but size of room was minute - certainly NOT “de luxe double”. Not worth it for large sum paid. Facilities ok, but the “valet” parking system was confusing and inefficient, despite friendliness of the staff member trying to run it. You should not have to pay £10 per day for this, especially since the charge was not obvious on website. Staff at front desk verging on unhelpful and not-communicative. Front desk itself was so high one could hardly make eye-contact with staff, who sat stolidly behind it. One might expect St Ives to be overpriced and under-welcoming….sadly this was true.

The hotel is lovely with great views of the beach.Good location and spa facilities. Unfortunately our double room was on the third floor and it was like an attic room over the main road. There was a lot of road noise until late at night. The throw on our bed was stained. On the first night our TV did not work and we were told we would have to wait until the next day for the maintenance team. We were not able to move rooms due to the wedding taking place. Disappointing stay particularly following the amazing stay we had last year at the Harbour Hotel Fowey- would recommend staying there instead.
