Great town centre hotel

Great hotel in the middle of Newquay. Surrounded by bars, shops and eateries. Took my dog with me who was made very welcome. Great breakfast and plenty of parking. Have stayed many times and will do again in the future. Many thanks to all.

Down in Newquay for the bank holiday with friends on motorcycles. Twin room. I found the bed comfortable and the whole place was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The shower was a bit small for me (6’ 2” and 15 stone) but adequate. Food and drink was excellent. Would definitely use again.

A good budget hotel!

Stayed here for 2 nights along with our 2 dogs. For the price we weren't expecting much, but we were pleasently surprised. Quick check-in staff very friendly, room was a bit dated, but was well looked after, clean and tidy. The bathroom was in good condition and spotlessly clean. Free parking on site is a bonus. Only slight moan is the add on costs for dogs, £8 per dog per night. Now I totally get a cleaning charge as dogs can and do create a bit more mess than 2 adults, however a one of charge seems a fairer option than a per night per dog charge. Staying any longer than a few nights abd it soon adds up.

Return Visit

This is the second time we have stayed at the Griffon Hotel, which is well established in Newquay, it was here when I lived in Newquay in the 70s, so it has stood the test of time. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfasts we had there were excellent. Although we didn't have an evening meal there, I have heard reports the food is very good. The hotel is well situated in Newquay with the Rail Station close by. It has car parking facilities, a bar, restaurant, lift to the first floor. We would be more than happy to return to the Griffon on our next visit to Newquay.
