Average
Room we stayed in was comfortable but tired, weekend music was loud but finished at 11pm, staff could not do enough for you unfortunately we stayed while a manager change over so no food available, little cafe next door claires kitchen is recommended, nice micro pub down high st, the Brunel suited our needs and price was very reasonable

We have stayed here before, our third time now. Here in Saltash to visit my brothers and this weekend, Saltash Regatta!
As the Brunel is located in the high street, it has all the facilities built in around it.

Really spacious bedroom and made such a nice change staying in a pub rather than the normal Premier Inn / Travel Lodge etc.

Not bad.
Towels didn’t smell great. No soap. Very hot in the rooms. Quite basic. Fine but wasn’t amazing value. Moretti was great on tap. Pool table was good. Staff were good. Friendly

In the bar young people were vaping filling the room with vape emissions/fragrance, not sure that is allowed?
I appreciate the saying you get what you pay for £61.00 per night, alas we found there was no bath/shower towels, (that was resolved).
The noise was caused by other residents who were inconsiderate (not the owner)

I wish we hadn't stayed
It might be better during the week but there is live music on Friday and Saturday nights. A sign mentioned that they would normally stop by 11pm but they were still playing and singing until 0:35am. Our room was just on top of the 'entertainment' area and the bass and singers were very loud and you could hear the door banging shut whenever someone left the pub. Beds and mattresses were very uncomfortable and smelly, the towels were not very clean. The window was single glazing so you could unfortunately hear all the guests chatting/shouting in front of the pub. Bathroom had seen better days, no soap was provided and there was no ventilation. The fan was so clogged up it no longer worked. It might be ok for guests who can no longer drive home after a night out, but if you are hoping for a good night's sleep better stay elsewhere.

Good price and location
Great price and location. Teamed up with neighbours to supply breakfast at reduced price.
Nothing really to add, clean and functional, allows pets. Pub staff very friendly and helpful, would stay again and bring family.

Sorry to say that,The property not for suggesting to someone.its very poor experience in our life. Smoking smells and very bad furnitures. Couldn't sleep well because of damaged bed. Any way i won't be there with my family again there.

Some allowances must be made as the Brunel is an old building such as the floors are a bit uneven, windows are single glazed. There was little hot water and water pressure was poor however the rooms were warm and the bed was comfortable. The Brunel does not serve breakfast but next door is the Fresh Fox, a good café or Olivia's Brews and Bites across the road, well worth a visit. Bar meals are served in the evenings.

Sharon - Christmas stay
My first room double had a broken bed. When I tried to leave on Christmas morning I could not open the door I tried ringing but no-one answered. I had to ring my son who lives Saltash he came to the Brunel and was able to raise the alarm with the hotel. They gave me the room next door which was ok. What have I been charged for this 4 night stay.
