10/10 Exceptional

Honestly, this place was fantastic. The views from our room were easily some of the best we've ever had. The staff were so welcoming, especially the gentleman at the bar (we didn't get his name) who made us the absolute best Espresso Martinis. The location is perfect if you're traveling by train or bus, and the in-room snacks (crisps, biscuits, tea, and coffee) were such a nice bonus. It was a shame the weather stopped us from using the lounge and heated pool, but it just gives us a reason to come back!

I've stayed here 5 times now so I must like it. Great hotel in a really good location 5 mins walk from the station. Very clean throughout a perfect place to relax. Hopefully I'll go back again when I can. First class I really can't fault it at all.

8/10 Very good

The room was nice, and it was very clean with lovely sea views, in a good location, only being 5 minutes walk outside town, but the walk back is somewhat more difficult because it’s uphill. Although I have one complaint, you realistically have to be down for breakfast at 9am sharp because they close for breakfast and remove the breakfast counter at 9:30am on the bottom.

4/10 Fair

Breakfast OK. Not big variety as expected. Hot food is made on demand plus a buffet with cereals, bread, etc. Mattress was worn out and the springs were sticking out, affecting my sleep. Also, too soft mattress. Nice size bathroom but dated. Cold room despite trying to regulate the radiator. Smelly room which has showed that there was no ventilation before my arrival. Thin wall. I could hear the other guest in the other room snoring and moving about. Definitely not 4 star accommodation.
Vegetarian option
Dated bathroom. No attention to details
View from my room. Untidy backyard.

Great hotel!

The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was great and very clean. The views were lovely and the pool looked great although the weather was not conducive to swimming. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. I especially liked the pastries on the buffet and the cooked breakfast was delicious. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The Hotel Penzance offers a great location for anyone visiting West Cornwall. A nice, comfortable, well located if slightly tired building, the rooms here were spacious and offering a fantastic sea view directly over St Michael’s Mount. The only downside for a less confident parker is the car park which was like a lesson in advanced trigonometry to get out of. Do not try it in the dark!
The car park is as steep as it looks.
What a view from my bedroom window.

Comfortable bed and great restaurant. Nice elevated location and I'm sure it's nice sitting out front or using the pool in the summer. Easy walk into Penzance. I'm sure sea-facing rooms are nicer, mine looked out over a back yard with junk in it, and with the window open I could hear an extractor fan from the kitchen (I believe), so pay attention to room location!

I stayed in a small single room. It needed more airflow, but a fan was provided, making the room very comfortable. I enjoyed tea on the patio in the afternoon. The best part of my stay was breakfast... delicious!!
