Stayed for two nights, wish it could have been longer. Friendly, helpful staff, nice sun lounge and bar with fabulous sea views. Comfy beds in a spotlessly clean, spacious room. The food is amazing - e.g. trio of local fish with salsa verde , pear and almond tart - we never expected quality like this in an hotel restaurant. Huge... More

We stayed here for one night. We were very impressed by the informal friendliness of the staff and the service and assistance they gave us. The best thing though was the cooking. We had had lunch at Rick Steins restaurant the day before which was good, but the whole baked plaice with new potatoes we had at this hotel for... More

Me and my fiance went to St Ives for a 3 night break we choose the Chy-An-Albany because of the location and car park (a bonus in St Ives) and we weren't disapointed! The hotel is easy to find with a car park at the front and back and beautiful sea views from the front of the hotel. We found... More

We found this hotel very easily as we drove into St Ives and there was car parking right outside the front of the hotel, a rarity in St Ives and worth its weight in gold.

Great staff, great service,excellent deal on evening meal but overall the staff really do care and all of them perform well above their pay grades. The Breakfast selection and choice is at 5 Star standard and I have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to anyone. More

Our family members were placed in a family room with a bath ... and it appeared... More

My daughter and I stayed in a twin room in December and generally thought the hotel was fair value at GBP75/night. Not great, but not bad either. Pros - the location, the friendly staff, the price, easy parking Cons - brown water out of the hot tap in both the shower and handbasin, dirty bedspreads. More

My husband and I stayed at Chy an Albany for a 3 night pre Christmas break 19th-21st December 2011. We booked through late rooms and had a fantastic deal (3 nights B&B for the price of 2, total stay £100). We chose to have a standard double with no sea view (to suit our budget). On our arrival we were... More

I have stayed in this hotel with my wife in Dec 2011 for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. the location of the hotel is idle with plenty of parking space and ocean view. The food was delicious, service was exceptional, we really thank Sarah for her hospitality and gesture. The breakfast had plenty of options. Overall we had... More
