What guests think

At Mannings Hotel, travellers highlight the central Truro location with secure on site parking and consistently friendly staff, alongside generally clean, comfortable rooms that make it a convenient base for city visits and events.

Room quality varies: some are spacious and modern, while others feel dated with hard mattresses, attic quirks or heat, and noise from street life, birds or building systems, with older windows offering limited soundproofing. The historic building has no lift; top floor rooms involve many stairs and low ceilings, and there is no air conditioning (fans are sometimes supplied). Dining feedback is mixed, with many praising the restaurant and bar, while others found breakfast basic and noted cooked items cost extra. Expect a well located stay with welcoming service, but choose room location and dining options carefully to suit your needs.

Mannings is in a great location just a short walk from the cathedral, shops and with the market right in front of the hotel. There is free parking for guests behind the hotel. Big rooms, tea and coffee making facilities, tv and spacious rooms

We enjoyed our stay especially as it was so close to everything. Sadly the lack of an opening window was disappointing as we had no fesh air in the room and only had the electric fan as means of cooling the room. No lift in the hotel was a minor disappointment. Apart from these complaints the hotel was excellent and we would stay again if a room was available with an opening window.

Stayed 2 nights. It was OK, nothing special. The room (No.42) was extremely noisy from out on the street to the early hours to inside, with doors banging etc. No tea bags or sugar in the room and upon asking I was given 1 tea bag and 1 sugar.. asked for another for my husband and was reluctantly given a 2nd tea bag. The room was OK, but I found a half drunk bottle of water beside the bed and another empty bottle behind the curtain. Obviously missed by the cleaning staff. Food was OK, expensive for what it was so only ate in the hotel on 1 evening. Menu's sticky & stained, not good. Breakfast was mediocre with no tea! I do not make tea from a flask of hot water, why no pots of tea? The good thing about staying here was secure parking.

Brilliant to have free gated parking in the middle of Truro. Would not hesitate to stay here again when in the area.

Hold hotel but with parking right in the heart of town. No escalator to bring your luggage up, luckily a staff member brought it up to the room. At 6 am an outside AC system when on making a very loud noise….the old window didn’t provide any sound isolation and it felt there was a mouler under the bed!!!

Great central location, free parking, good continental breakfast. However, I wouldn't recommend a room on the 3rd floor, as your in the roof and ceilings are slipping and there are wooden beams to crack you head on. It'll work for small people, but not for anyone of average height. I spent the stay either leaning over or constantly fretting about banging my head.

I’ve been staying here for years and it’s getting tired! What once was an exceptional hotel is now average at best. Staff are lovely, breakfast has gone down hill and the rooms are looking drab, my mattress was half collapsed. They need to spend some money on the place immediately.

The room was ok, but it was really hot so we opened the window and the noise of the boiler was extremely loud. All through the night, we hardly slept. Also the last time for breakfast was 9am, whilst on holiday I want a later service. Couldn’t have it in the room, so we had to go out and pay for breakfast xxx

Truro is a lively town with lots to do. Mannings is centrally located with a decent sized, private secure car park. The room was a bit tired to be honest though. Bathroom needs updating and the carpets are old. The bed was a big problem. It was so old the mattress sunk in the middle which meant my feet were the highest point of my body lying down. For such a lovely hotel reception and bar/restaurant area the bedroom was nowhere near the same standard. Shame. Be aware, although breakfast is included it’s only the cold continental buffet. If you want anything cooked they charge extra.

Room was good, maybe a little dated. Bed was comfy. We were a bit annoyed to be loudly asked to move to a smaller table at breakfast after we had sat down with our coffee. The nice server who greeted us had said to sit ‘wherever we liked’, but this was not correct apparently. Maybe seat guests on arrival if this is an issue?

Stayed at the hotel to attend the Hall for Cornwall for a show. The hotel is yards away from the venue with secure parking and central location in the city. The room and bathroom were not overly large but comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was varied and teas served within minutes. The staff without exception were welcoming and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will go again.

Greeted at the desk with “you have to download the ncp app for parking” so downloading that then register then setup a card etc etc. major faff to pay to park. Then got my room with no AC so windows open and so much noise all night long did not sleep well at all. Then had a chicken Kiev that was £28!!!! And terrible. Honestly the food price was a joke for a kiev that tasted much worse that a supermarket option. Reception blatantly tries to upsell you anything they can. Massively over priced in all aspects for the poor experience. Wont return.

We’ve waited years to stay at Mannings & the bed was really hard, which ruined our stay to be honest. Bathroom was really cold too despite turning on the towel rail. We felt breakfast continental was very limited & felt aggrieved to pay extra for cooked breakfast. It should all come inclusively. Room was very clean though, parking was great & staff all very friendly!

Took a bit of effort to find the car park, but very secure to be fair. I stayed in an apartment which is in a separate building overlooking the car park. Room very spacious, and as an apartment had a kitchen/living room with table. Breakfast included is slightly disappointing, the default offering is a continental with hot options paid for extras. Pastry/cereal selection and quality was average nothing standout. Overall staff were friendly and welcoming, room was good and the location is excellent right in the town centre.

Lovely old building, and the staff were exceptional. Very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, but the bathroom needed a bit of an update as it was showing signs of wear. Bed was hard, but this is down to personal preference. Breakfast was really good, a delicious continental style with quality options; I'm so used to hotels cutting corners in this regard so was delighted with the spread available. I didn't try the restaurant but the menu on display looked lovely. Would recommend.
