Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ocean House is appreciated for its convenient location, just a short walk from the harbour and the centre of St Ives. Guests particularly enjoy having access to a well-equipped shared kitchen, which includes everything needed for meal preparation. The rooms are generally considered comfortable and some offer lovely views, while the availability of Netflix is a plus for some visitors; a few guests, though, have mentioned occasional issues like a strong smell in the room. With garden access and proximity to beaches and attractions, it offers a good value stay.

i appreciated the comfy bed. i slept soundly each night. the view from the bay window was amazing! the shower had great water pressure.

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

damaged rail small bathroom

The location provided good access into town.

The walk back from town involved a lot of steps. This proved quite difficult. I found the bathroom to be small. The shower door rail also had damage.

mixed feelings about the stay

thin walls poor cleanliness

The room i booked, a 'double room private bathroom', was far from ideal. the walls seemed paper-thin. I could hear every little noise from the neighboring rooms. this lack of soundproofing made it hard to relax (especially in the evenings). also, the cleanliness wasn't up to par. There were noticeable dust patches and the bathroom needed a more thorough scrub.

Perfect Location and Great Amenities

shared kitchen lovely views

The shared kitchen had everything needed. I appreciate the spacious room and lovely views. The accommodations had plenty of storage and hooks (this was quite useful). They also provided enough supplies for two people.

The hotel is not suitable for older travellers. The walk from the station involved steep, uphill switchbacks. Access to the building from the street was difficult and the door entrance was unsafe (it was quite steep).

Dining

9/10

The shared kitchen includes a washing machine and dishwasher. A microwave oven and electric kettle are available for quick meals. There are also dishes and other necessary small items, helpful for preparing simple meals.
