Came here last year and swore never to come back! The place was dirty, with sullen staff and a general get stuffed attitude. Met here for dinner this week and found I didn't want to leave! Suntrap of a deck - right on the river - happy caring staff, a perfectly cooked steak - finally there is a place to... More

Stayed just the one night, very comfortable room. Good food on offer, with very friendly and helpfully staff. Give them a go, it's only been going for three months so things can only get better. Will certainly be back, and that's the best recommendation possible from us. More

Just had a long weekend at the Riverbank. Very nice rooms - spacious, clean and modern. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and very accomodating. The new owners have already made some great improvements, without spoiling the style and atmosphere. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The hotel is perfectly placed for the town and cathedral. Definitely recommend... More

Stopped for one night for work. The room was nice, a good size, with a comfortable bed, flat screen tv and good shower. There is a lovely view from the window of beautiful church. The downside would be the the pub below is open till 11pm, and even on a very quite Monday night they still had music on which... More

Stayed here at short notice as Truro was very busy, got a double room and was only charged the single rate. The food in the Bar/ Restuarantwas the best I've ever had in Truro and I've visited the Town a lot. The rooms were spacious and stylish. Not sure about the comments I've seen here about noise from the Bar... More

Such a shame the management did not think to email us and save us the inconvenience, and them the cost More

The hotel was in a very central location in Truro. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was a little disappointed in the hotel, more like rooms over a bar/restaurant. Although the room was a good size and clean ( the bathroom had a terrible smell though) I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong. Breakfast was... More
