“Thank you”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We recently had a 3 day stay at The Atlantic, which was thoroughly enjoyable. We stayed in the large bay window room with beautiful views over Carbis Bay. The standard of the room was good, although a little tired decor wise, but it is the end of the season. The bathroom was bijou but very clean with lovely fluffy towels. We only had breaksfast at the hotel, so cannot comment on evening meals, but the breakfast was superb. Service was also excellent and in general all the staff were very helpful and attentive.
Our only criticism relates to the bar, which on occasions is used by non residents for pool evenings and whilst we understand the need to generate income in these difficult times we felt that this is at the expense of residents comfort. Why can't an area, for example the restaurant reception area, which has a bar be made available to residents to enjoy a quiet drink?

Room Tip: As for a first floor sea view room

“Thank you!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

I booked a weekend at The Atlantic for my partners birthday as a surprise. We were very impressed with the large, comfortable room with amazing views from the bay window out across Carbis Bay. The staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to help me organise a very special weekend. We returned from St Ives engaged and will never forget our weekend away and the genuine caring attitude of the people we met.

Room Tip: Room 14 has 2 large windows including 1 bay window overlooking Carbis Bay.

“Professional and friendly, very helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

This is a great base for exploring the area. The room was standard and small, but quiet. It had the tiniest bathroom that I ever came accross. For one person, the room was fine. I had expected the hotel to be a bit closer to the St. Ives (30 minutes stiff walk), but if it were, I would have missed the spectacular coast path from Carbis Bay to St. Ives. The staff was very helpful and provided quite some information for my sightseeing.
As I arrived late at night I had someproblems to find the hotel as there is no illuminated hotel sign, the restaurant was dark and the parking lot near invisible at night.
The restaurant is definitely one or even two categories above the hotel, in ambience as well as the food which was just great and I looked forward to it every evening.

“I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone else!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

This is one of the nicest, most comfortable hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff were very friendly and hospitable and helped to make my stay very enjoyable. Their standard of service was exemplary. I had a small single room but it was very comfortable and clean. The hotel is the about a half hour walk to the centre of St Ives. There is a beautiful beach and also the train station about 10 mins walk from the hotel. There is a bar and lounge and free internet access. The restaurant in the hotel is fabulous and there isn't any need in making the trip into St Ives for dinner. It's got everything you need!

“A bit pricey for what you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

We paid £114 per night to stay here during August and we failed to see what we were paying for. Firstly, the hotel is not in St. Ives itself and is a 40 minute walk away - we weren't expecting this. Our room was fairly basic and the bathroom was very small and in need of an update.
The positive points were the friendly staff and the hotel having its own car park. I wouldn't recommend this hotel as I am sure there must be more suitably priced hotels within St Ives itself.
