Room was ideal. Booked a single room, expected single bed but had a small double. Good en suite shower room. No view but hadn’t booked so not expecting. Very nice evening meal on veranda with sea view.

Very nice, friendly pub with comfortable rooms that are nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Highlight was the food as we stayed on a Tuesday when they had the 2 for £22 evening meal deal and the local haddock, chips and mushy peas was outstanding! Fantastic value, welcoming staff and a lovely breakfast with a generous selection to suit all tastes including lots of fresh fruit.

The hosts Mike and Allie were extremely engaging and helpful. We missed our own pets so their dog and cat were a welcome site. The house is light filled and beautiful with comfortable rooms. It was nice to be off the beaten track on a quieter street which felt more residential. Fantastic recommendations for dinner and sightseeing.

Glad we got tickets for the Minack Theatre and explored the Gobal Telecommunications Museum, took the Coaster bus several tiimes, including to Land's End and walked the Coastal path to Sennen. Enjoyed the Penlee art gallery, especially in the midst of reading "Summer in February." Enjoyed a meal at the oldest pub, and at the Longboat Inn. The staff at the Info Centre were the best - gave us so many tips and set us on the right buses.

i like walking on the promenade, along to Newlyn, took the Mounts Bay coast path to Marazion, took the bus to Trengwainton gardens- lovely to see the magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias - interesting walks round the gardens and a lovely cafe with friendly staff and good food.
Visited Trewidden gardens by bus and also took the train to St. Ives- a lovely scenic run along the coast.
Penzance town has a nice selection of shops and it is worth exploring the back streets and the area round Chapel street. On previous visits have been to the Morrab gardens and other parks. Penzance is easy to walk round, has a good bus service and the tourist information staff are very knowledgable and helpful.

Went in the end of February, it was a quiet time with everything closing by 10pm, and last buses leaving early, but it's just as lovely if not more so as any other time of the year could be. Even for hiking, if you get ready for the wind, the rain, the fog, the mud and the cold.

We came in February so not very busy.
We came in February so not very busy. Many places to walk around, lovely garden in the center of town. Great beach, St Michael's Mount very close by. St Ives also not far away. Great place as a bae to see Cornwall.
Stayed in this hotel either side of Isles of Scilly trip and it was perfect. Staff were very friendly and approachable. Would recommend not just for a stop over to the Isles but also for anyone wanting to visit Penzance as it was very close to the town/train station etc . Also ideal base for exploring the beautiful places nearby. Great breakfast served daily too. Could order whatever wanted and at a time to suit. Thanks Kate and Roy for making us feel welcome (and not forgetting Bob the dog!).
THE ROOM WAS HUGE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. LOVELY BED. NICE VIEW OF THE SEA. THE HOTEL IS LOCATED IN THE MOST HISTORIC STREET IN PENZANCE WITH LOVELY ANTIQUE SHOPS AND NOT FAR FROM THE HIGH STREET AND WITHERSPOON JUST AROUND THE CORNER. LOVELY PUB DOWNSTAIRS WITH MUSIC ONCE A WEEK. THE STAFF ALBEIT A HANDFUL WERE EXCELLENT THEY ALL HAD TO CHIP IN TO DO VARIOUS JOBS DUE TO SHORT STAFF AND DID EVERYTHING WITH A SMILE AND WERE SO HELPFUL. I WOULD DEFINATELY GO BACK THERE IF I WERE TO VISIT PENZANCE AGAIN.
I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Penzance. We were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded our room, and it turned out to be amazing. The room had a stunning view, and the hospitality was top-notch. The amenities provided added an extra layer of comfort to our experience. The hotel's proximity to the main station and bus stop made our travels convenient. I would highly recommend Hotel Penzance for anyone looking for a delightful stay with excellent service.
Friendly proprietor and the more sociable atmosphere of breakfast in a guest house environment rather than a hotel - an excellent breakfast at that - freshly cooked to guests' 'specifications'. Convenient for buses and trains from Penzance to other Cornish destinations including outstanding views from the South West Coast Path tackled after a hearty breakfast and a packed lunch requested. Access to kitchen facilities are a bonus.
I travel all over Cornwall with work and stay in some of the best Hotels but in Penzance my budget doesn’t stretch far. This quaint little friendly pub is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are very clean and the bed is very comfy! The breakfast which is brought to your room is stunning! Lovely staff that make you feel very welcome. Next door is another pub that serves very good food and again the staff are very friendly.
This is an apartment that is located near the
bus/train station so access to same is
terrific. The bedroom is large, the bed comfortable and the kitchen is user friendly. We had easy and quick access to the owner on some questions and ours were answered within 15 minutes. Overall… Penzance is a great place to visit and I would certainly book this again.
The decor of the property, in the lounge, bedroom and staircases was just beautiful. A lot of thought has gone into it for sure. Also the service was amazing in terms of checkin process and receiving new/clean teabags and towels etc. This was our first hotel stay in Penzance and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else now that we've been here.
Hosts are Sally & Alan—very nice and helpful with daily journeys. Breakfast served individually in A pleasant dining room, for all guests. Room was well appointed, bright, with a small bathroom. Everything very clean and well planned. The best choice of B & B’s in the Promenade area of Penzance.
Quality hotel, spacious clean comfortable rooms, breakfast cooked to order, welcoming helpful staff. Old traditional hotel that had style. About a 15 minute walk from bus/rail station, but location is superb on promenade with views across to The Lizard and to Newlyn.
Quiet location and very short walking distance to town. Chose the hotel as it was near the train station. Penzance has very good restaurants and the hotel’s restaurant is one of them. Will certainly stay here again in the room with sea view.
Had a fantastic time, excellent hosts with great local knowledge. Room nicely furnished, extremely clean.
Great choice for breakfast. No issues with parking. Excellent location.
Would stay again if we return to Penzance.
The location is great -close to Penzance and so close to beach. the people who run the hotel are very nice, friendly and lovely. the room was clean and nice. the breakfast was awesome- very tasty for great price
very helpful and friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble for the [ Paul in particular ]. but all staff are a credit to the hotel .The hotel holds a great position in Penzance . We will be coming back
Staff is very responsive to our requests. Very clean and basic accommodation. Located right next to the promenade of the Penzance beach with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
We were taking the ferry to the Scilly isles. The hotel is two minutes walk from the terminal so couldn't be in a better position. The break fast is lovely.
