8/10 Very good

Great location with view of Harbor. Breakfasts were delicious but some mornings were better organized than others. Staff was friendly and helpful. Daily room cleaning was not consistent. Clean cups, glasses, sugar refills would have been nice. Room was not refreshed at all one day. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

6/10 Good

Lovely room overlooking the Harbour, very steep stairs, but not a problem if fit and able. Room was quite dusty. No room service, but when we asked we could get further supplies of towels, toilet roll/coffee. Be warned, we were woken every morning very early (5.40am on Monday with loud noise for around an hour) with bin lorries, street sweeper and recycling lorry emptying bottles and rolling bins down the side alley, which even ear plugs cannot drown out and each day before 6.30am. Didn't affect us too much, but if you like to sleep in, this place is not for you.

The room was good but difficult to navigate up the stairs. However staff all very friendly and our dog was made very welcome which is why we chose to stay at the Lifeboat Inn again. We stayed with our dog two years ago. Altogether a very pleasant stay.

Nice place to stay in heart of St Ives

The Lifeboat Inn is a nice setting and the family room overlooking the Harbour is great. Great breakfast and nice staff. No fault to the hotel but being next to the road is noisy, especially when the bin collectors are out in the morning.
