What Guests Say About Their Stay

Esther-Marie

/ 10
The biggest plus about this property is the staff: they were wonderful, both at check-in and at check-out. The lobby area is large and inviting, and well-lit. Rather than having on-site parking, the property chose to turn the hotel forecourt into outdoor seating with picnic tables. While sitting outside might be nice in the wamer summer months, not having on-site parking is a negative: the hotel sits on a residential street, so street parking nearby is at a premium. The bedroom corridor and bedroom itself immediately brought to mind a hotel I stayed at in Cornwall in the 1970s. Both were clean and properly maintained, but a renovation would not go amiss: the wall paper was very 1970s! The bed was comfortable as were the pillows, and the comforter was great: I slept like a baby! The bathroom, however, was minute, and that is not an exaggeration. It was a squeeze to get into the shower, and as a 6'1", 250 lb woman, there was barely room in the shower stall to get washed. Given the size of room overall, there would have been plenty of room to increase the size of the bathroom without taking away any of the spaciousness of the bedroom. Overall, this hotel served its purpose as a low-budget, affordable overnight stay, and I would certainly choose to stay here again.

Customer Service was fantastic from start to finish. Breakfast was delicious. Room was a little cold, but when we mentioned it, they revolved straight away. Restaurant was closed, due to lack of staff, but plenty of local options The room was OK,but headboard was solid and hurts wgen you head but it.

Room was clean, staff very good, food was great, only issue was I choose a hotel with on site disabled parking and there was none, managed to park on road but at busier times it wound be a struggle, also the lift could only be used by one person at a time and the lift was incredibly slow, the description on your site needs updating with regards to parking, but we had a very enjoyable experience.

Fairly pleased with the room. Only a one night stay and did not opt for breakfast. The room seemed clean and all the essentials worked well. This is all in the context of the hotel being a budget option in the area. Satisfactory, the main downside was the maze of corridors to reach the room.

We were in a small room also the only day light we had was from a small window with frosted glass, you had to have a light on all of the time , right out side the window was a large pipe extracter fan ? Which that went off a couple of times during the night , which was noisy, waking us up, we never complained as the hotel was busy with coaches. The room got very warm . We ate in the dining couple of times that was very good , plenty of choice. Overall apart from the room and always having to go to reception for everything, from towels to loo roll. The lift was not working, so it was a struggle with cases , up two flights of stairs.

I have one question for the leadership team at Britannia hotels. Have you ever stayed in any of your hotels ? I have endured a few (you do not ‘enjoy’ a Britannia hotel). The chain seems to specialise in turning potentially lovely buildings into dumps. The staff at the Trecarn were without exception incredible, welcoming and friendly, especially one chap who moved me 3 times due to rooms having leaky ceilings and severe damp. But…..I have never had a good night’s sleep at the Trecarn due to the ridiculously loud squeaky floors in the corridors, slamming doors and absence of any sound insulation between rooms. So I have probably had my last stay at the Trecarn, even though on my last stay I was actually shocked that the bathroom had been renovated and was really nice. It could be a great hotel; it’s time for leaders and managers to take a good hard look at the property and realise its potential. The staff are fantastic; it’s time to make the fabric of the hotel match them.

The Trecarn is a no frills hotel with friendly staff. It is cheap and as long as you mediate your expectations then it’s perfectly acceptable. The bed wasn’t overly comfortable but was clean with paper thin walls to the next room, and the hotel in general is very shabby and outdated. However, we paid what I consider to be a small amount for a twin room in peak season in a popular British holiday destination. Is it the Ritz? Certainly not. Is it perfectly adequate if you just need a bed for a night or two? Absolutely.

I travel frequently to the South West for work and generally stay here. For the price Trecarn offers a good option. The rooms and general decor is tired, but it is clean, the rooms are secure and the showers are hot and powerful. There is a bar and restaurant and there is outdoor seating when its hot. The hotel generally caters to coach holidays so it needs to meet a certain standard. There is on street parking around the hotel and there are takeaways, pubs and a tesco within a short walk. Its not luxury, but compared to the budget options in the Torquay town centre the Trecarn is miles better.
