We had a very enjoyable stay at the King's Arms. The landlord & barman friendly & welcoming. The room & ensuite was clean, comfortable beds and everything provided that we needed. Competitive price too. Would most definitely recommend and will go back next time we are down in Cornwall.

This is the kind of hotel that is a pub with rooms above, so the details about check-in time being 3pm-7pm are not correct, you can check in during the evening. The room itself was clean and all up to standard. The shower was very good. It was a shame that the latch on the sash window was missing (broken off) - even though the room was on 3rd floor I would have felt more secure being able to latch it. I mentioned this on checking out. You reach the rooms via the staff corridor behind the bar and up carpeted stairs, and as the pub welcomes well behaved dogs, this could be an issue for anyone with allergies as the carpet was not very clean and did have dog hair. Breakfast is cooked by the pub chef from about 10am. As I had to leave earlier, the landlord kindly let me have some tea and toast for free though I had to go in the kitchen and make this myself. The welcome was friendly and the room itself and facilities were good, though I didn't think the mattress was the comfiest. For the price paid, all in all it was reasonable.

Ok for the low price

Very friendly, a perfect stop if you find yourself in Cornwall- highly recommend

Friendly pub owner and operators, as well as local crowd made the experience enjoyable. Room was clean and contained necessities. Nothing fancy, and could do with a little updating, but all was fine. I didn't order food, but the owner offered to make a sandwich, even though it was after serving hours.I think listing said there was parking on site. It's actually street parking, which isn't guaranteed.

Good atmosphere

Music nights are excellent, but it needs a clear identity.
Lostwithiel has The Kings Arms, Royal
Oak, The Globe, Earl of Chatham and Social Club - none of them have a distinct voice.

We are crying out for a classy pub for when you want a quality glass of wine, some classy snacks or small plates, and people a bit dressed up and just smart.

I love a boozer, but also want quality too - why can’t we get this is a beautiful old twin like Lostwithiel?

Some class!

Pleasant Hotel, god surroundings, excellent staff

Lovely friendly staff and unlike previous review I found them very helpful when I needed to cancelled one of my planned two nights. I wasn't charged at all and everything was fine. The pub itself is a bit rough and ready, but we didn't mind that. The room we had was right at the top up several windy, narrow staircases, so be prepared if you are arriving with lots of luggage. It was very nicely decorated and the bed was lovely and comfy. The room was a bit small though and we were warned that the TV wasn't working. Not a problem for us as we didn't need it, we were busy all evening at the Gin Festival (I can completely recommend this annual festival!) The thing that let this room down was the heat, it got very hot in the night, and the fact that there were old windows which let in all the noise from outside.

Ideal for the centre of Lostwithiel

This hotel has friendly staff, but they will not lift a finger to help you, even if the cost to them is zero, and their inaction results in significant cost to you.

The Kings Arms accepted my booking via Booking.com. However, I quickly realised my error and requested cancellation, via Booking.com, and by contacting the hotel directly. Booking.com said refund was subject to the hotel agreeing, and the hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, quickly confirming they were happy to give me a full refund.
After no refund, I contacted them again to ask if they could verify this to Booking.com. They failed to do this, and I requested again. And again. And again several times a month for 6 months. They continually said they would, but failed to give Booking.com any kind of verification. All they needed to do was send a single message in writing saying they had verified the refund.
In summary, they are either complete liars who pretend to have decency, or they are too incompetent to send a single one-sentence message to Booking com.

If you ever need your booking updated or changed, you can probably count on Kings Arms Hotel to ignore any request you may have.

Staff pretend to care

Old and run down pub with few rooms in poor condition, overall poor standard.No food served, but we was offered breakfast 09:00 at surcharge of aroind 9 £/ person Could not accept credit card , and only ATM in the small down was off line, had to drive 16 km back and forth to withdraw cash. Wifi did not work, got a reduction in room rate120 instead of 145£)  that was high for the room standard
