The Longboat Inn
3.9/560 Reviews

The Longboat Inn

Penzance|0.45km from city centre
I decided to stay at The Longboat due to the price and the location, and my preference to give money to local businesses rather than big chains. It's two mins from the train station, based at the bottom of the main street in Penzance, and within easy stomping distance of the harbour, promenade, local pubs, cafes, shops, and my family's homes. The staff were very welcoming when I turned up and gave clear instructions re the room, keys, and booking breakfast. They provided an iron and ironing board on request. They were also friendly and helpful when I raised some issues (below). I first stayed in the Cape Cornwall room (14), but had some issues there (a broken sash window letting breeze in, a leaking shower, and a dodgy hot water tap). The staff offered to move me immediately, but as I'd been travelling for 10 hours, and my first two days were jampacked with pre-funeral events, and a funeral, I didn't have the time or energy to move on days one or two. Once the funeral was behind me, I moved on day three, for the final night, to room 18 (Lands End, maybe?) which was much more pleasant and I experienced no issues. In both rooms, the beds and linen were comfortable, the TVs worked fine, there was lots of wardrobe space, the room temperature was good, and everything was clean. It would be nice if the hotel put a bottle of still water in the room, in addition to the tea and coffee, every day so you don't have to rely on the bathroom tap - I went out and bought my own. I didn't eat whilst here as I spent the whole time with family. I had breakfast at Sullivans Diner on my final morning, which was fab. In summary, The Longboat was fine to stay in for a few nights, as an affordable option, and as a solo traveller. If I was going to return and wanted to stay for longer, or to stay somewhere that felt more like a treat, I'd probably stay elsewhere.

Rosalie Guest House
4.5/54 Reviews

Rosalie Guest House

Penzance|0.65km from city centre
I wouldn't recommend the Rosalie Guest house, especially given the stay for me and my husband was ghastly and the worst we've ever had! First off, weeks after Boris had reversed all Covid-19 restrictions, we received an email three days prior to our stay saying that the landlady would only admit guests, with a negative Covid test. We found ourselves using a precious day of our holiday to search for a Covid test, which isn't easy in the highest peak tourist season in Cornwall. The 30-minute test confirmed we were both negative. When we arrived, we were so tired and hadn't slept well and were already dreading our stay at Rosalie Guest house. The frosty landlady inspected the evidence and proceeded to take more of our time to explain a very strict set of house rules; masks should be worn at all times when outside the room, breakfasts must be ordered before 9pm the previous night on a tick-box menu, if we needed to leave the building there were several layers of security and so on. There had been nothing in the booking that it was dependant on guest taking Covid tests and none of the other guest houses/hotels on our stay had not demanded it. It was also clear in the advert that parking was provided for, however this turned out to be on a crowded street where we struggled to park the car. We were eventually shown up to our room where there was barely enough room to take our suitcases. Although clean, the room was shabby and dull with safety notices all over the small stand-alone wardrobe; imagine four walls and a bed, an undersized wardrobe and a tiny shower with no bath. We immediately felt depressed and thanked our lucky stars we were only there for one night. By the bed was a six-page plastic document containing yet more house rules and regulations. It didn't feel like a guest house at all, in fact we felt more like we were in a hospital or worse. In the morning there were two regimented breakfast shifts and no room for change. Having not slept well on the uncomfortable bed we were very tired. We sat on a table but were quickly moved, for fear that previous guests had been sat on that table! The young girl serving breakfast looked very stressed and she was wearing a PPE hospital style apron. We asked for coffee and when we didn't receive any after 15 minutes, I started to help myself. ”We're not allowed to let you touch anything!' she said apologetically.. We waited for what seemed like ages to be served and left the breakfast room at 9.47am where our order was wrong, my poached eggs were rock-hard and the 'Cumberland sausage' tasted like a factory produced mystery meat job made out of gristle and sawdust!. All guests had to vacate their rooms by 10am so no margin for relaxing. Don't these people know that they're ruining people's holidays by making us leave so early? Overall, this experience was underwhelming, over-priced and ultimately depressing; we only wished that the unwelcoming landlady had been even a little bit nice to us. Per

The Queens Hotel
4/5111 Reviews
We had three nights here in preparation for a coastal walk. The hotel has an air of faded grandeur about it, mixed with a whiff of 1970s council offices, but the staff try hard to make the stay memorable. Our room was at the back of the hotel, so rather than a sea view, we had a good view of the neighbourhood cats. It was comfortable enough, however, and clean. Breakfast was very good and set us up well for our days of walking. A sea view would make the stay better, but you could do a lot worse. The location, however, cannot be faulted.

The Lugger Inn
3.8/597 Reviews
We visited on a Friday night, for the Italian buffet. The choice was excellent and you could re-visit the buffet as much as you liked. We also saved 10% on our total bill (including drinks), as we had pre-booked. Our waitress, Jess, was excellent, very attentive and very pleasant. We will be back, next time we are in Cornwall.
Hotel Penzance
4.1/545 Reviews
1. The hotel is on a small slope on the edge of Penzance City. It takes only 20 minutes to walk to the city center. In fact, it is very convenient for travel. It is also very close to Penzance Railway Station and the port. It takes 15 minutes to drive to see Mount Saint Michel. 2. The hotel provides a lot of snacks, the sea view room has an excellent view and is worth recommending. If you want hot food for breakfast, you need to charge a little extra, and the quality of other meals is also good. 3. If you come by car, you need to call the hotel to book a parking space, about 4.5 pounds a day parking fee. 4. The hotel's cancellation policy is to cancel 14 days in advance. 5. The corridor of the hotel is relatively narrow and there is no elevator, and it may not be convenient to have too much luggage.

Carnson House
4.2/520 Reviews
Felt the need to post a review after reading some of the previous comments. We stayed here for one night before travelling to the Isles of Scilly. We arrived by train and the location could not be more convenient for both the station and the ferry. The town centre is also easily accessible and coastal walks in either direction are on your doorstep. Our room wasn’t large but was spotlessly clean and had everything you need. Bed was comfy and shower hot. Tea and coffee making facilities provided. It is on a busy main road but we knew this before we booked and actually found it quieter than expected. It certainly didn’t affect our sleep. The pub next door was no problem either. The price was considerably cheaper than the Premier Inn down the road and included an excellent cooked breakfast. Some people must be extremely hard to please! We shall look forward to staying again.
