Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Alverton from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Alverton's stunning Gothic architecture and immaculate condition, noting its origins as a 19th-century monastery with beautiful grounds. The spacious rooms and bathrooms are frequently mentioned, as is the delicious food-with the Alverton Garden Grill and Eggs Florentine standing out, and some even suggesting the evening meals deserve Michelin stars. The hotel's location near the Truro city centre, Hall for Cornwall, and the Cathedral is appreciated; however, a few guests have mentioned that the walk to the town centre involves a steep hill. many guests consider it great value for money.
