An expensive night at what was chosen to be a reputable boutique hotel but seriously disappointed with returning at 1.30am after the masquerade ball with my 82 year old mum and other family members to find my partner and I had no bottom sheet. This was a superior suite. None of the staff seemed shocked apart from one who said it would be reported to housekeeping. No compensation was offered. Otherwise, we couldn't fault the cleanliness. Somehow I also missed the fact that there was only a continental breakfast. Egg boiling machine is a great idea but not if it takes more than 10 minutes. Morning staff were insistent that we left dead on or before 11am. Fair enough it was New Years Day but it wasn't the experience we were hoping for. I hope that they can make this the hotel it should be. I will look elsewhere in Truro next time I need to stay... Or maybe pay less in the taxi fair home!

Disappointed

Great location for the town. Very nice amenable staff. Downstairs rooms very attractive. Generally very clean. Our room was chilly and one day the bed wasn't made up. When I queried this I was told it was because we had something on the bed. We did bedclothes. I was a hotelier for many years and to me this is ridiculous.  Another minus for me was that there is no cooked breakfast however we knew this before we arrived. On the whole more positives than negatives.

First visit

We have just returned from 1 night stop at this hotel 
We have stayed a few times before but that's before the new owners and refurbishment.
First impressions when we walked in was very pleasant.  
The new refurbishment downstairs is beautiful and really is a massive plus. 
We were greeted by a lovely friendly gentleman who checked us in. Our room was not ready but we were able to leave our cases and they kindly put them into the room when ready. 
We didn't arrive back until quite late but was given our keys. 
When we arrived back into our room I was at first very happy with the overall look. Some smart new additions in the room. Unfortunately the bathroom was so tiny and dated. I understand the rooms are next to be refurbished. We did feel a little cold in the room as couldn't get the radiator to come on. Also being in the front of hotel did get some traffic noise but we are early risers. 
Continental breakfast was included.  The breakfast room is a very pleasant space now and table laid up nicely. Self serve breakfast of cereal, home made granola, yogurt and compote. Some croissants ham and cheese.  A boiled egg water bath was a good addition. Would have liked to see some bread etc  but personal choice. 
Coffee was very good and brought to your table with toast. 
The hotel has parking behind. 
10 mins walk or less to the town so an ideal spot for Truro city centre. 
We had a good stay but did feel it had a slightly high tariff for this time of year and for continental breakfast. 
Will stay again once the refurb is complete and imagine it will be done to a great standard

A nice stay

We stayed for one night in one of the smaller doubles overlooking the rear of the hotel. The room was compact, but none the worse for that. The ensuite is likewise small, and the only issue there is that the shower cubicle is quite snug - still fine, but if you're looking for more freedom of movement the larger rooms may be worth the extra. The room was very quiet, nice and cool, and very comfortable.
The rear car park means that there is ample parking, although as it wasn't busy we got one of the half dozen spaces at the front.
The hotel is a short walk from the city centre, but down quite a long steepish hill, so we opted to be lazy and drove - Truro has lots of car parking.
Breakfast was included in our rate, and was a lovely wide range of the usual continental fare, all from a well-supplied buffet.
Friendly staff and a lovely chic interior make this a new favourite in a delightful part of Cornwall.

Great characterful hotel with all amenities on the doorstep.

I needed a Hotel with accessible room and The Vara provided a perfect room for that.  The bathroom was a wet room and the best I could have asked for.  I travel loads and as I use a wheelchair the wet room is essential.  I was so grateful for that and the staff from James to Jenson were always great and Clair in breakfast was kind and professional.

Perfect Hotel stay

Stayed for 2 nights, room was small but clean and tidy. 1 st night ate in and had pizza, they only did pizza but they were very nice would have been happy to have had them in a pizzeria. Breakfast inc cereals toast boiled egg ham cheese tea/ coffee but not full English location was a 10 min walk to town centre.  Free parking included. Electric car charging point available. Would stay here again.

Good Stay

Having stayed in the run up to Christmas for most of the last 5 years, we knew what we were in for.  Comfortable rooms, a lovely breakfast in a relaxed environment and very friendly staff.  

An excellent change brought in since our last visit is the introduction of a dining offering in the evenings, which we made use of on two of the three evenings we were there.  The main options are freshly made pizzas, but there were also a tapas board and soups. There are four or five pizza options and the three we tried were all delicious with excellently crisp thin bases and tasty toppings.

In summary, how do you make a lovely hotel even better, add pizza.

Lovely dog-friendly rooms and even lovelier staff

We had a big family get together at this hotel. From booking to departure the staff were amazing, helping with arrangements and suggesting places to eat locally. 
The rooms were ok in size and the beds comfortable.  Wifi was good and there was plenty of parking.
The only thing that could be improved is to make the walls a bit thicker. There was noise from the rooms either side of me.

Lovely hotel with super helpful staff

Not a bad place, It's up a very long hill and not close to town or any shops. Our bed was comfy but we were highly disappointed that our room didn't come with a fridge 😒 and it's very very warm and stuffy upstairs. Breakfast would have been perfect If the options of full English or even bacon sandwiches were on offer. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

7/10

Hotel was clean and staff were very polite. Room was small but manageable. Shower cubicle is tiny. Bathroom and bedroom were clean and tiday. Breakfast choices were very limited.  Very good location with easy access to town centre. Parking available.
