We stayed in a lovely room overlooking the high street .it was clean and spacious. Although we were overlooking the high street, it was quiet. There were complimentary shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. A hairdryer, iron, and ironing board were also in the room. The hotel is central to the town and near the bus station. It is decorated, beautiful throughout it, has a nice beer garden, and the flower displays are amazing . Food looked amazing, although we never ate in the hotel. last time we visited, we did, though, and it was tasty, and it's reasonably priced All the staff at the hotel are friendly and are happy to help you Will be staying again.

The only thing that let it down was the untidy juliet balcony outside our window, which would only take a minute to brush up.

Breakfast was very good, staff friendly and the atmosphere was very good not loud so you could talk easily

Unfortunately due to the weather the rooms were very hot, reaching 29 / 30c, although a fan was supplied this only pushed hot air round so very difficult to sleep. My room only had a small window which was up high with a very light coloured blind which allowed the light in early in the morning making the room bright. due to the hight I could not find out if the window opened until the second day when one of the cleaners showed me the button which was no where near the window. The rooms could do with air conditioning units,

Nice quiet hotel, room was clean and comfortable and very reasonably priced St ives is lovely and this is the only place I would stay when visiting or working in the area Breakfast was good value.

My room (1) was right at the back overlooking a flat roof and brick walls, however I didn’t spend much time in the room as it was a nice evening. I know there are other rooms which are much nicer with better views and better facilities, the rooms used to have coffee machines but not anymore.. however for less than 70 quid for b&b it was decent.

Good-sized recently renovated room in town-centre hotel, just a few steps from the river/bridge, and from shops, etc. V clean, with good wifi, and I liked having a bath and a selection of teas.

The downside of the room I had was that there was no window, just a skylight which was unreachable, and so couldn't be opened. This meant the room was hot and airless during the evening, and I had to keep the door open to provide some fresh(-ish) air. Fortunately, the heat subsided once the sun went down, so the night was ok. The photos on booking.com showed a window, which is misleading. The description should specify that there is none. This spoilt what was otherwise a very nice place.

We had a lovely time at The Golden Lion. The staff are so warm and welcoming. The breakfast was great as they provide waitress service for hot food and the rest is buffet,which is ideal. And the room was clean and modern. The hotel itself is very classy-looking too.

The shower did not have a moveable head,and the water spurted in different directions? The bath was a great addition and was P-shaped,but when it was draining,the plug hole wouldn't open? When we mentioned it to reception,they were very apologetic and said they will look into it.

Welcome and very helpful staff. Location. Quietness. Room - ok.

Carpets in need of a good shampooing. Insulation between bedrooms inadequate - noise heard from adjoining room even when voices or radio were on low volume. Our neighbour came to complain about our radio at 7.00am and later told us how every noise could be heard. Hot food needs to be served on hot plates( breakfast). Cooked breakfast disappointing - not very tasty. didn't bother having it the second morning.

We come to St Ives all the while, but this is the first time we’ve stayed in The Golden Lion after years of saying we wanted to. Great location , gorgeous hotel. Lovely staff. We use the local pub here and the Indian restaurant. So lovely to know we can go out to eat and drink and then have the comfort of the hotel at the end of the night

The room was beautiful, but I struggled with the window not opening much. We were room 15. I suffer a bit in small places. What could’ve made it better was if I’d have been able to open the roof blind a bit more to not feel so enclosed but it stayed covering the window. This was my only negative point.

Check in was easy and everything fully explained from breakfast, keys to use for the doors late at night, staff available to us later and that they can make an area for us to sit with the dog for breakfast . We stay lots of places with our dog and it can be difficult but this was an easy and welcoming place to bring our fur baby Milo. The breakfast was lovely and staff friendly and attentive. Very pleased and will definitely be back with our dog.

Nothing we was very happy with our stay

Bed extremely comfortable and good sized room. Shower and bath good. Rooms well appointed. Staff excellent: one of our party fell over and staff kind and efficient calling ambulance and providing initial care. Food good and preordering for our large group dinner effective. Nice food and service good. Never felt rushed and able to sit and talk at the table after eating.

Be aware that noise from events in the ground floor rooms travels through to the first floor rooms very effectively! Piano player (very good, but…..) on a Saturday evening was scheduled to finish at 22:30 but still playing until 23:17, and party/disco in back room lasted past midnight followed by noisy departures by taxi. Hotel very apologetic and not their fault as such, but check if you need your sleep or want to chat easily in the restaurant. Mind the steps! Last one on main flight is deeper than the others and can cause stumbles. No car park on site a little inconvenient, but short walk to one of three town car parks okay and you can drop off outside the hotel.

Central to every where

Waited too long for breakfast on our second day when it arrived it was Luke warm plus the tea and coffee wasn’t very hot Need more staff for the breakfast session plus also was charged extra for a latte even though it’s classed as a type of coffee Plus room 20 is above the kitchen and when it starts the shift the noise from the kitchen is so loud it shudders the room and it lasts all day which is not very good
