We were a little disappointed with this hotel. It's perfectly comfortable but definitely overpriced for what it is. Firstly, it wasn't really in St Ives so we initially felt a bit cheated that it was in Carbis Bay. A lovely place, but it’s not St Ives. Luckily we'd rented a car from the garage down the road which is a... more

We visited St Ives for a 3 night break for my boyfriend’s birthday. First impressions of the hotel were good – the hotel decor is stunning and the service on booking in was excellent. We were shown to our room which was decorated nicely, but on closer inspection the paint was peeling off the walls, the toilet roll holder was... more

Was really looking forward to this stay especially after viewing the website. Arrived to cheerful helpful reception and though oh this looks good. Shown to our room where the disappointment started. It was tiny, although clean and light and airy. But the shower room was terrible. Small, smelt damp and there was the occasional horrible whiff. There was mould around... more

After a disastrous "spur of the moment" camping trip that can be wholly ascribed to the ravages of inclement British weather my sister and I booked into the Atlantic Hotel desperate for nothing more than a warm bed, a hot meal and night undisturbed by howling winds, torrential rain and a collapsing tent. But we were in receipt of far... more

We made the mistake of booking a sea-view room at a cost of an extra £50. This was on the front of the hotel next to the main road which is very noisy from early morning until late at night. It was hot and we had to decide whether we wanted to sweat it out or have a sleepness night... more

We only stayed one night as part of a tour in March 2009. Firstly, the hotel location is listed as St Ives - it's not really, it's more like Carbis Bay. Which is fine but it's a long walk to the centre and even longer on the way back becasue it's uphill! We used a taxi to go out in... more

Note: if you book through active hotels.com you are charged £10 per nght above the hotel rate. Do not accept room 8 - it is small, cramped and shabby and the bathroom (the size of two wardrobes) had a constant, unpleasant dank smell. A Faultyesque touch was that the mirror over the sink could only be used by persons well... more

Notwithstanding that the staff were hard at work preparing for a wedding reception when we arrived, we received a warm and friendly greeting. The Atlantic is in a picturesque location one and a half miles from St Ives facing the sea with ample room in their car park directly opposite the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable albeit on... more

I stayed at the Atlantic for a few days in June with my partner, and was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The price was reasonable in comparison to other hotels in the area, and the owners have obviously worked hard to develop the public areas. The hotel has parking across the road and is spotlessly clean. Our room was on... more
