Greenbank Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is a sound booking if you want a harbourside hotel a short walk from the centre at a price close to the town median. Skip it if worn carpets and corridors would bother you, or if you want the extra polish of our Luxury pick.

Greenbank works for couples, families and drivers. The property lists family rooms, free parking, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and a beachfront position. Breakfast options include continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free, which helps groups with mixed diets.
If you expect everything to look fresh, think twice. Guests say the bedrooms are tidy but the carpets and corridors look stained and worn. Travellers who want the lowest bill in town should look at our Budget pick, which was about €27 cheaper per night.
Location and getting around
The address is Harbour Side, and guests say the hotel sits directly by the harbour with a short walk into the town centre. The location score is 9.5 out of 10, the strongest point in the data.
The sights in our data are further than they look on a map. Pendennis Castle is about 2.5 km away, roughly 31 minutes on foot. Mylor Bridge is about 2.7 km (34 minutes) and St Mawes Castle about 3.7 km (46 minutes). All are straight-line estimates that have not been verified, and all three are far enough that you should plan on public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 1,079 reviews, joint second among the 5 eligible properties in the sample.
Location gets the clearest praise: guests like being right on the harbour and close to town. Staff are described as friendly, professional, helpful and attentive.
The weak spot is upkeep. Rooms are called tidy, but guests report stained and worn carpets and corridors. That is a condition issue, not a cleaning one, and it is worth weighing against the price.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €145.83 per night. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. The sample median in Falmouth was €146.30, so Greenbank sat almost exactly at the typical price.
Our Budget pick, Budock Vean Hotel and Spa (4 stars, score 8.6), was €118.91 per night. Our Luxury pick, The Royal Duchy Hotel (4 stars, score 8.8), was €206.45. Greenbank costs about €60 less than The Royal Duchy for a score only 0.1 lower, and adds the harbour position and free parking.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 hotels in Falmouth. Our Best Value choice balances guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price, so it is not always the cheapest. Greenbank combined a high score, over 1,000 reviews and a price at the median, and that mix earned it the place.
