Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location and cleanliness, with many highlighting the unique experience of staying in a converted jail. However, service was a common point of contention, with several reviews mentioning rude staff and inconsistent service quality.

Helen, May 2025
Pros (+) The sympathetic refurbishment of the building through to the very comfortable rooms, lovely toiletries, and bedding were all high quality. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff helpful and friendly. The thick walls of the building meant the noise into the rooms was minimal, so we had a really good night's sleep. The breakfast had plenty of choice and used locally sourced produce and was ver...

Pros (+) A very unique experience. I have travelled extensively around the world and stayed in some amazing hotels . However Bodmin Jail Hotel offers more than just a hotel, it’s steeped in historical interest and architecture, renovated to a high spec whilst sympathetic to its original use. Would love to stay again.
Cons (-) I had no faults with Hotel, however I would like to see a discount for the Bodmin jail attraction for people staying at the hotel. The shop was poorly stocked with T-shirt sizes.

Kevin, May 2025
Pros (+) The rooms were of a very good, clean well maintained standard. Parking was busy but sufficient spaces available at the time of staying, with polite staff.
Cons (-) WiFi is not secure - at least password protection should be the minimum and would benefit everyone. Restaurant - no ground pepper, even when asked for and a significant wait, with a meal getting cold. together with limited availability of some 'basic' core menu dishes; fish & chips for example, though listed on the menu and with us being one of the earliest diners, those who came in immediately af...
