My sister-in-law found this hotel through Condé Nast or the like and wanted to go enough that we…read moredecided on Cornwall instead of Wales for our weekend in the UK with her. The hotel is old and classic, but modernized enough to be thoroughly comfortable. We got a room facing the pitch and putt out front, complete with double bed and built in bunks through a travel website for the last weekend in August. The room was large and well-appointed with comfortable beds and crisp linens. The sink taps were separate for hot and cold, and the shower either ran borderline-burning hot or cold. There was very little air flow in the room unless the window was open. The hotel was classically decorated. I loved the "library" on the 1st floor with its book wallpaper, LEGO model of the hotel, and modern dog lounger. There's a large double stair case, with seating at each level, much needed since the elevator isn't terribly fast. The lounge area, which we were told used to be the ballroom, had a seating area at each window to enjoy the views. There was a patio outside with a glass windbreak for the same purpose. There's a spa area downstairs, and there's a booklet full of treatments available. We didn't try to book any, but we did enjoy the pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and aromatherapy showers. While in the sauna, another guest informed us that they were booked for 48 hours solid anyway. Just having access to the aromatherapy showers was a lovely treat after a day of hiking in the coastal air. We ate our evening meals in the lounge area, not having seating at the Terrace (the casual restaurant), not having brought proper dress for the formal dining room, and enjoying the comfy chairs and couches. The full Terrace menu was available. The first night we quite enjoyed the mussels, rocket salad, fresh herbed mozzarella balls, the soup of the day, and the 5 Super Food salad (which changes daily, but always features 5 super foods, so you get the key nutrients in one sitting). Everything was tasty, especially that salad. The second evening, we split the vegetarian platter and the small version of the super food salad. We were quite full the second evening from enjoying cheese and crackers (which we bought at the Sainsbury's in town) while watching the sunset from one of the brick alcoves built into the seaside hill below the hotel. There about 2 dozen alcoves of brick or stone built along the side facing the beach or the coast, though only a couple had chairs. I would think they would've been quite crowded at a different point in the season, since they afforded such lovely views and provided just enough a windbreak. They're incredibly dog friendly and kid friendly. There were dogs and kids running around everywhere the whole weekend. Many folks brought their dogs and kids into the lounge area while they dined. Obviously, you go for the views, but the hotel was a lovely enough experience on its own to make it worth the trip.

Sorry - the hotel was great in many ways. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, the beds were…read morecomfortable and overall the service was pretty good. The views were great. However, the shower cannot keep one temperature - complaints among three rooms that my family members were in. That is ridiculous - its 2012 and we are in a developed country. At midnight the alarm on my clock went off. Again, the room maid should be checking that during every cleaning between guests to make sure that doesn't happen. I asked someone to come up in fix it. They sent someone up who hadn't touched one before and was new. After three or four minutes I asked him if he knew what he was doing and he said he didn't ......... I asked him to leave and just unplugged it. My cousin had her wedding here and it went perfectly. I would give it five stars on that.

SOLD!…read moreWe paid an extra £20 per night for a sea view and this is a must because the alternative view is out over a busy street with a club, a sports bar and many shops and restaurants. And anyway why wouldn't you want to look out over the beach and the beautiful sea and surfers of Cornwall? anyway the room was basic, quite small but for the money we paid it was good value. We saw the price list in reception and they were asking £125 per night for the room which there is no way in hell I would ever pay that for the standard of the room. The shower was super powerful and hot which is sometimes lacking in hotels. The staff were all very young - and I mean during our stay we didn't see a member of staff over 25. It wasn't a problem, just noticeable. The bar had a great cocktails menu but when we went to order there wasn't a trained member of staff able to make them. Great. The spa - Ohh La La was more of a beauty room than a spa, but the girl in charge was very nice. Myself and Adam Y both had hot stone massages (one included in the price one not) and both enjoyed them very much so. A big bonus to the hotel to have this 'spa' here. The pool was nice, the hot tub wasn't so hot and the steam room was despicable. Breakfast was included too so we took advantage of the cereal and toast (now why is it hotels never look into buying decent quality bread for toast? Sliced cheap bread is awful) as the hot food wasn't up to much good. The hotel was quiet for Easter week but the town wasn't. Newquay was busy and the beach had people learning to surf and families having picnics etc. Having walked all the way round the centre it seems like Hotel Victoria is the oldest hotel (and possible the nicest) in Newquay today, but I wouldn't stay here again.

It's clear hospitality comes naturally to them. The welcome is genuinely warm and it's a first impression that lasts. We stayed three nights and could have stayed three weeks. We had booked a standard room and they reached out to offer an upgrade to a sea view so we took the deal. Our room was lovely. The view was more sandy beach than sea but still delightful. We had tea/coffee - making facilities including biscuits and a dolce gusto coffee machine. The bath towels were just luxurious. Breakfast was really good, delicious porridge followed by kippers. On our last day I opted for a plain omelette with some of the Benedict sauce with their Eggs Benedict and it was delicious. We got a Chinese carry out one night and they laid a table for us in the dining room, provided water, plates and cutlery and did the washing up! Now that's hospitality for ya. We got a few drinks from their mini bar. It was real relaxing to have a few drinks and great craic with the bar staff after a long day touring. The chef made cake which we bought at the bar for a treat. Hope to return some day - the only two downsides were no lift and one beyond the control of our hosts - as the weather was not kind.
