Mannings Hotel

South Cornwall


The best place to stay in the city centre. The part-Georgian building has been tastefully modernised, with bright colours and functional furniture, even if the general vibe feels a tad corporate. There are nine self-contained apartments for longer stays, which come with small kitchens and spiral staircases. The private gated car park is very useful.
