Dishonourable people: we had a long-standing reservation at the St. Eia for May 2013 which was confirmed in February 2012. Now (February 2013) we find out that the hotel is closed and the former proprietors left last October. Neither they nor the new owners saw fit to inform us that they were dumping our confirmed booking. We had to go... More

We stayed at the Hotel St Eia for 7 nights. The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly Mike the owner was very and helpful and made us feel welcome nothing was too much trouble. The room was a bit small but we had a fantastic view of the beach and St Ives from our window. The Hotel was... More

We stayed at the Hotel St Eia for 3 nights in August, we paid a little extra for a sea view room, the views from this were absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed when I entered the room, it was tiny, far too small. The bathroom was ridiculously small, I am 5 foot 6 inches tall, less than 9... More

bad experience here - limited breakfast rude staff - unwelcoming and outdated much too expensive

Stayed here during a trip around Cornwall. A nice 10 min walk from the center of town (including a very large hill on the way back!) Tried to get a discount but no luck. £80. Parking is a bonus and the breakfast was 6/10. Room was with a great view but dated and small en-suite. Would I recommend... just, but... More

Our room was on the back of the hotel but could see the sea the sea through our side window which was an added bonus. There was no road noise and infact... More

Had read many negative reviews but....owners and staff were friendly, breakfast was great and the views were stunning,but the hotel was very jaded and outdated.The room was very tight and difficult to move around in but it was clean and the bed was very comfortable.However, we are frequent visitors to St. Ives and have stayed in many lovely hotels there...

The owners were lovely and so was the cooked breakfast, but I'm afraid that's where the compliments begin and end. The room looks like it was last decorated in about 1970 and the shower just dribbled - no hope of doing any kind of showering!! The bed was sheets and blanket rather than duvet (admittedly this is a personal thing)... More
