The room was dirty, the food was poor, bed was on a slope, the window was help open with a brick, it was very noisy with all the clubs turning out. the shower door never closed, the shower was just a trickle, the bath room was so small you had difficulty squeezing in between the wash basin and toilet to sit on the toilet.. You pay for what you get, not worth paying for.

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 us as we came by train. You would not want to have a heavy bag, as we were on the 3rd floor and there is no lift.

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 to my room which whilst being fairly average was sufficient for a night's stay. The breakfast was excellent and the owner was able to assist with my vegetarian requirements. I'll certainly come again, the breakfast alone makes it worthwhile! Also, unlike a lot of things in Penzance, the Whiteways represents good value for money.

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night and that was enough, the room was tiny with a single bed that was only just bearable, the decor had a used and outdated feel.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 open! i like my full English but having my clothes and room smell of them was another matter, and to top that the actual breakfast was poor the plates and cutlery were dirty. I know it's a cheap stay but never again, i question whether the local tourist board have actually checked this place out.
