Reef Lodge

What guests think

Reef Lodge draws praise for its central, beach‑near location, friendly staff, and good‑value rooms, making it a handy base for short stays with quick check‑in and useful in‑room touches like kettles, fridges, and generally reliable Wi‑Fi.

Several reviews note thin walls and occasional noise. There are recurring maintenance issues, including tricky bathroom doors, slow drains, nonworking dispensers or sockets, and a few reports of no hot water or heating. Room size and decor vary, with some spacious and others small or a bit dated. Expect a simple, budget‑friendly base for short stays.

Great location right in the town center, beach 5 mins walk away. You can park in the road if you are lucky enough to find a space. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Accommodation is basic, room was clean and tidy with a fan provided for cooling. Overall a good place for a base for a short break and Overall good value for money.

Stayed here at the reef lodge for a weekend break in Newquay. Greeted at reception, to book in and show us our room. Very friendly and chatty, made us feel welcome. Even though due to illness the reception was unattended with the times stated, but there was an apology notice which had a contact number on which we could ring or message if we had a problem or issue. We did use this number once to message a query and had a quick response. Room was clean & tidy with a comfy bed. Only fault I could make with the room is it could have done with a mirror in the room, for hair drying, hair straightening etc… had to stand from a distance and look through into the bathroom to use that mirror which wasn’t really close enough, but we did manage. Overall great stay and great location.

The staff were lovely, and the room we stayed in was great and had a view of the sea. I really struggle to find any fault with the cleanliness of the room or the quality. The price of the room for two nights was honestly the best I’ve found in a while. The only downside is the walls seem quite thin as we could hear our neighbours and their kids, but overall we were happy with our stay and we’d be happy to go back and stay again.

We liked the central location, it was clean, that it has fridge and waterkettle with coffee and tea. The shower is buttonoperated, which is watersaving, but inconvenient; the soap dispenser did not work. Only one bedside table was available.

Stayed with my partner for one night. The room was clean, cozy, and the bed was comfortable—we slept great. We appreciated having a kettle, mini-fridge, and free tea. The staff was friendly and everything was quick and hassle-free. The nightstands in the room looked outdated, clearly not updated in a while. Overall, it was good for a short stay—we recommend it!

The hotel is located near the beach, which is very convenient. Check-in is very quick. However, the rooms turned out to be a bit noisy, and we sometimes had trouble relaxing. Overall, it was a good experience, but they should consider improving sound insulation.

Recently, my wife and I stayed at this hotel. It is just a few steps away from the beach, which is perfect for those who love the sea. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. Although there was sometimes noise from neighboring rooms, it didn't ruin the overall impression. The staff was very friendly. Housekeeping was done regularly, which added to our comfort.

Ouch! Place was clean and tidy, not sure what's going on with their fire safety with fire doors propped open everywhere and a massive gap a truck could fit under on the door to our room. Room was adequate but the matresss was like some sort of torture device. Looked like a back of the van special with springs sharpened to impale you so wasn't the best night's sleep We had a family room that was supposed to be 2 double bunk beds, we had one double bed, a single bed and a super long bed above it with half a safety rail. Each sleeping position had a socket so I suppose that's a bonus so you can watch your phone while the bed springs stab you! Can tell they are trying or have been but and the one curtain across the window so nearly covered it! Bathroom was alright, had to take the top off the soap dispenser to get any soap and pressing the shower button every 20 seconds was a little annoying especially as I left school 20 years ago and can be trusted to switch the shower off when I get out of it!

I booked a room at Reef Lodge for one night for myself and three children. We had enjoyed a holiday in Cornwall and were catching a flight from Newquay the next day. Book in was fast and friendly. The room clean and comfortable. The bathroom was surprisingly modern for a period building. Local beaches were a short walk away as were bars and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.
