Ocean House, St Ives (Cornwall)

The hotel offers a mix of great and not-so-great aspects. The rooms provide a fantastic view but share a direct neighbor, which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, there's a kitchen available for guests' convenience with useful appliances. However, an unexpected surprise next door can affect the experience. The service is welcoming and helpful, although a small incident of entering the room early without knocking was a bit unsettling. The location presents challenges for those without a vehicle due to steep hills and stairs but offers a nice view of the harbor. Despite this, it's close to St Ives Bay and the town center which adds value. The facilities are equipped with essential amenities for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is located just a short walk away from the center, offering comfortable rooms and a lovely stay. While the proximity to the town center is convenient, the neighboring noise level can be excessive at times.

For a short stay in St Ives, this hotel is a good option. The rooms are of a very good size and modern, but they can feel a bit small and expensive for what you get. The kitchen facilities are handy if you want to cook or have some coffee or tea. The hotel is ideal for a quick visit to St Ives, offering a nice view of the sea and the harbor from some rooms.
