Great sea view
Amazing views over the beach and cliff, however the rooms look a bit rundown and the beds are small and squeak everytime you move.
My stay was excellent, the reason for staying was a funeral and I have to say it was soooo good, our room was brilliant and the view was to die for, it was a totally different reason for staying, but we would definitely go back for a holiday,

Hotel is in a lovely location. There is no lift in the hotel and our room couldn’t have been further from reception so it was a struggle to reach with all our luggage

Bad knees
If you have walking problems or bad knees this is not the place for you.
From car park to hotel down stairs you must go.
Great location. Hotel needs refurbishment.
Bathroom was very dirty. Hair from previous occupant, engrained dust on radiator, hair and dust on a plastic container on the vanity unit in the bathroom, a large crack on the shower tiles and shower floor unclean with a hue of pink residue.
I asked for the bathroom to be cleaned but unfortunately this did not happen.
Room information states that there are blackout blinds and a phone in the room, however these were not so in our room. Venitian blind was broken and therefore not easy to use.
The staff were pleasant however they always seemed to be busy doing more than one job.
The hotel itself is very run down and in major need of refurbishment. Likewise furniture needs replacing and updating.
Breakfast service finished at 9am and dinner service was a set three course menu with one service that was over by 7.15pm!
It felt that everything is run on a budget.
We paid £300 for two nights room only. There was nothing to reflect this price.

Being out of season the hotel was very quiet but the receptionist on duty couldn't have been more helpful. She recommended local restaurants, served us at the bar and gave plenty of ice when requested.
If I had to be negative it would be that the room was cold due to limited timing of the heating system and that the pool although inviting was too cold to use.
What a very special place! Obviously the location is a huge part of it. Where else can you look out over a beautiful beach and open sea, especially in its price bracket. On top of that, the seaview rooms, lovely clean and warm. Only down side there was a slightly soft mattress for our personal taste. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Very important for us, was the quietness. At the end of its own access road and only the garden and sea to the front. We intend to recommend this hotel to everyone.
We travel down to Newquay regularly, but have never stayed at the Glendorgal before. After this weekend, we will definitely be staying there again.
Although the weather wasn't the best because of the snow!!, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much bother.
We walked down on to Porth beach and across to the Mermaid, where they do lovely home cooked food and a fantastic carvery for Sunday lunch.
You can't beat it!!
Had the worse nights sleep ever, bed made a terrible noise every thine you move, you could here every movement within the hotel, too hot no window to open, the room was very depressing . £60 a night isn’t expensive but I would never go back.

An OK Hotel
Good location. Not enough staff, had to go and find a number of times. No dinner available at 19:20ish when we arrived (I think stopped serving new people). Ate out in town.

Very tired and dirty hotel
Dirty hotel that is in need of a major re-furb.
Bed sheets had stains on them, bathroom had lots of missing times on the bath panel. Soap dispensers had mould growing in them.
Bar area had cob-webs and dead spiders hanging from them
The hotel was excellent, and close to one of Newquay's wonderful beaches. The hotel though is 20mins walk from the town centre, great if sunny, not so if raining or tired. Buses are intermittent and taxis are best booked ahead of time.
Wonderful location above beautiful beaches! How ever you do need to be a mountain goat to access said beaches!! Very steep rocky access, not advisable for any one with walking difficulties.
Hotel it’s self has seen better days, outdated & tired. Outside of rooms/hotel heavily used by smokers everywhere you’ll tred on cigarette butts. Small deck with wooden bench not comfortable for sitting out. We booked the family room, very disappointed, sparsely & poorly decorated uncomfortable bed & pull out sofa. Sadly couldn’t wait to leave.

Basic hotel
Room was clean for arrival. Although room was not cleaned or made up with fresh towels during our 3 day stay despite leaving the sign out to be cleaned
Hotel pool was not heated and freezing cold as boiler apparently broke in February and had not been fixed
Terrible poor quality breakfast at £12 per person for stale toast and limited fruit. Cooked breakfast option was a disappointment
Hotel room doors did not closed properly and had to be slammed shut. Had 2 occasions of people walking into our room in the night as the doors did not close properly.
Could not find reception staff on a few occasions when looking for them throughout our stay.
Basic hotel, room was fine for what we needed but service of hotel staff and facilities let it down- especially for the price. It could be so much better with a few small improvements!!!

Nettes Hotel direkt am Meer
Ein schönes Hotel. Saubere Zimmer, super nettes Service Team, standen uns immer hilfreich zur Seite. Jedes Frage und Wünsche wurden sofort freundlich und kompetent beantwortet und geregelt. Die Zimmer sind renoviert und sauber. An der Ausführung der Renovierung hätte man mehr Sorgfalt ausüben können. Frühstück wählbar, alles für einen Preis und reichlich. An der Bar konnten Getränke gekauft werden. Der Föhn war im Nachttisch versteckt und fest verankert. Deshalb konnte ich mich nur ohne Spiegelbetrachtung föhnen. Von unserem Zimmer und vom Frühstücksraum gab es einen herrlichen Blick auf das Meer. Man konnte direkt vom Hotel zum Meer bei Ebbe absteigen.
The staff were excellent, butmy complaint is with yourselves! I definitely stated ONLY twin beds for my self 80 + my daughter 51 years. Very fortunately l phoned the day before to check and was told wehad a family room- double + small sofa bed. I asked to change to twin, but they were fully booked! I said a family roo:m wasn’t OK. When we arrived they had kindly swoped us into a beautiful twin with sea view. NO thanks to you, who requested any room for two. The breakfast was excellent, the staff were very nice, polite and helpful. We may go again BUT will book direct, as l don’t trust yourselves to bother what people request!,
The hotel accommodation was generally good, based in a lovely location near the beach. We weren’t clear why the bill we received on departure was less than what we had paid upfront which was expensive. We had also assumed wrongly that breakfast was included, although this wasn’t clear from the booking, so we’re surprised we had to pay more for this.
