Location, walkable from the train station 10 mins walk, though the only disclaimer is, it’s up hill and the hill is quit steep, so brace yourself if not I’d advise you just book a cab.
-centrally located between 2 big chain stores one is right across the house which is a plus.
-The host was friendly and welcoming made me feel at home. She responded to all my needs even when I requested for a microwave to warm my food. Sorry forgot your name. You were amazing.
-For the price being paid the room was pretty decent with good amenities. Especially if you are on a tight budget I’d definitely recommend this place.
-it’s quiet and peaceful, there were other people there but I did not get disturbed with any noises whatsoever. That’s a great strength for me.
-Easy access to public transport 4mins walk down hill this time around😉 to the nearest bus stop
The only thing that did not meet my expectations was the sink, it took longer to drain so if some plumbing works can be done then it would be perfect, overall I have nothing against my stay.

Very conveniant location.
Close to the main road, but decent window glazing, I was at the front of the building and there was minimall noise.
Excellent wf fi speeds (visual work reports to upload and were no problems) despite a stormy night, weather wise.
Minor snag with the room, pleasant, apologetic staff member sorted it out straight away.
Shower, fridge, sink, kettle (plus tea /coffeee etc), in the room. Private toilet adjacent.
Plenty of free, private off road parking adjacent to the building.
Nothing.

The bed was really comfortable, and my partner said i slept deeper than I had in months. The room was just what we needed - a bed, a tv, a bathroom.
Only half of the electrics worked, so we were using the toilet with our phone torches, and we couldn't use the mini lights or the plug sockets next to the bed.

All was fine, except the water pressure in the shower was very low, so the water just dripped out, not a spray.
See above.

Easy parking, clean & friendly staff. The room was lovely & warm.
Very very uncomfortable bed. Smell of sewer gas when emptying the bath. You had to turn the taps for ever before the water came out.

Location
It smelled very damp and the linoleum was peeling up from the floor in bathroom. There was a lot of hair left from the previous guest all over the bathroom, the lights didn’t work in the morning after they’d worked perfectly fine the night before. The temperature was not comfortable and we could adjust it.

I really appreciated the greeting I received on arrival and her help in quickly sorting an issue I had with the heating in my room. She couldn't have been more helpful.
The hand basin in my bathroom was small and awkward to use

It’s an old building, so I guess there’s nothing much that can be done.

The beds were comfy and rooms were spacious
Our bedroom had a sock on the fire alarm, and a hole in the wall by the window, under the bed was also filthy and had socks, empty bottles, and deodorant underneath

Nice quick check in, staff helpful and efficient. Single room for £30 on a Saturday was very good value. Bed comfy, decent shower and everything clean and tidy.
One little gripe is there was a big crack in the sink in the shower room and some cracked tiles on the floor as well. Otherwise a decent stay.

Super fast check in, very basic decor, but good facilities, and excellent price for a twin, fine view of Truro Cathedral from the room I was in. Bit of a walk from the station.

Cold at night due to badly isolated windows, outdated bathroom, expensive for the total experience.

7.0 / 10.0
The staff were friendly & helpful and the check-in/check-out process was easy & straightforward.
The walls were very thin (you could every word of next-door's conversation, in the early hours) & I think next time I'd definitely book an en-suite room (it's not ideal wandering through corridors in the middle of the night, looking for the toilet!)

Toilet too small and away from room
8.0 / 10.0
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were a good size, and the guest house was across the road from a Lidl, so we were able to get some supplies.
We could have done with a communal room but enjoyed eating our takeaway on the wall outside 😂

Lovely welcome when I arrived from a very friendly lady. Room really clean and comfortable with everything you needed. Well located in relation to the station and supermarkets too.
My ONLY complaint was the shower changing temperature unexpectedly and therefore nearly scalding myself but otherwise a perfect stay!
5.0 / 10.0
I liked I had an on suit room, if I had a room with no toilet then I would not have liked it. I was going to book again for the beginning of October but there were no rooms left with there own toilet.
Getting back later in the evening parking was a bit hit & miss if some cars were parked inconsiderately
