“Doss House with no management”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

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 . I produced the relevant paper work confirming the fact that all I had stated was true in the meantime for fifteen minutes I was kept waiting on the doorstep and treated in a hostile manner travelers beware. Having read a lot of other reviews I should have stayed well clear of this highway doss house we live and learn and tell the truth.

Room Tip: Keep away at all costs

“I would not put my worst enamy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

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.

“Cheap but reasonable for short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

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.

“Perfect for one night!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

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.

“One night only”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

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.
