Forget about this doss house I made the mistake of pre booking plenty of time in advance with an internet company called booking.com stating my train would be a late arrival and giving the time as 10.30 when I arrived on time a dispute broke out as to weather I had ever made the booking in the first place ....

This hotel is an older style. Owners very helpful and chatty. Rooms small and some things could do with repair.e.g. loose tap. Room small, but beds reasonable. Good full English breakfast. It is reasonable value for what you pay if you just want somewhere to sleep for a short stay. Very close to railway station was a big plus for... More

I stayed here through the recommendation of a nearby hotel (as they were full for that particular day) and I'm pleased that I did. This guest house is very close to both the raliway and coach stations which was a great convenience to me. The lady who greeted me upon my arrival was very friendly and helpful, and showed me...

Stayed here for one night and that was enough, the room was tiny with a single bed that was only just bearable, the decor had a used and outdated feel. the worst part was waking up in the morning and being engulfed in the smell of fried breakfast in my room i tried to open the window and it didn't...

The online photographs are a sham, my room looked nothing as I expected. Either because I was booked into a different room (or possibly a different Guest House!?). As soon as I was shown to my room the daughter of the house proceeded to turn down the heating - I didn't complain as it was quite warm on arrival. This... More

You better don't stay at this place for several reasons: - bathroom wasn't only too small, but also equipped with an electrical pump making noise all night since the toilet was leaking. - breakfast at this place was one of the greasiest we got during our round trip through Cornwall. - lots of noise comming from the pub next door...

Great location if you are traveling by train - literally JUST around the corner. Also easy to walk along the main road of Penzance or towards the promenade. Friendly welcome, rooms average size with tv, fan, and kettle for tea/coffee. No wifi signal (however they are getting wifi soon for those addicted to technology!). The bathroom was ok but a... More

The single room that I stayed in was little bigger than a cupboard, I had to park in the harbour long stay parking, the en-suite was so small that I had to bend the pipework under the sink to accommodate my knees in order to sit on the loo (I'm about 5'6"). There is an air of decay about the... More

My room was clean and tidy. It was a no-frills room , but had everything I needed, and I slept really well. The cooked breakfast was delicious and the lady proprietor was helpful and friendly. Also, only 2 minute walk from Penzance railway station. More
