Just returned to the United States after a weeks stay at The Howards. Joe, Terry, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The full english breakfast was excellent and fueled me for the day for lots of sightseeing . The free wifi was a nice bonus with good signal strength in my room which made staying in touch with...

Picked the Howard off a comparison website, arrived and it was just as described. Was worried when I read the bad reviews but they're clearly snobs with bratty kids expecting the Ritz! As long as you don't mind dogs, chatting with the locals in the bar and getting trains & buses it's a perfectly good hotel. The bed was comfy... More

We booked this as a last minute break for a birthday getaway .... looked good on internet and room available was 'superior', so looked a good idea. Not cheap, totalled £90 for the room with breakfast. On arrival, outside was scruffy, worn, unkept. Directly on main road, which was busy and noisey. Friendly staff member met us in a hallway...

This is a really great hotel if you're travelling on a budget. It is so cheap but the service we recieved from Joe and the staff was absolutely 5star. The rooms are above a pub but they are quiet and clean and have a lovely outlook. The hotel has a great position in Carbis Bay and Is a twenty-minute walk... More

The hotel looked lovely on the internet (amazing what a good website can do). The receptionist (who doubled as a breakfast waitress) was very friendly and helpful but the overall ambience was very rough and ready. Our room was not kept clean - it was never hoovered in a 4 night stay because the same bits of fluff etc were... More

It is very easy to see why the Howards divides opinion. The main thing is that it gets the basics right. The place is clean, the breakfast is delicious, the bed is comfortable, the wi-fi works, the service is friendly, the views of the sea are impressive, it has off-road parking, the location is good and it offers excellent value...

We stayed here last weekend, and after being greeted by tatty St George flags hanging from windows amd 3 dogs scratching themselves silly adjacent to the front of the hotel, we realised maybe this wasn't going to be the hotel for us. The room was shabby to say to least, with roll together worn beds, 1980's dirty decor and fittings,... More

I read the other reviews for Howards Hotel and decided that I would give it a go. I agree with them all. This is not billing itself as a 5 star luxury hotel - if you want that, wander down the road and stay at The Treganna Castle - and pay the 5 star price tag that goes with it.... More
