    No lifts just steep stairs to get to our bedroom. Seemed rather understaffed but friendly all the same.

    Beautiful sea views. St Micheal’s Mount very close by. Beautiful Hotel, clean and comfortable room

    My room had no view, except into the yard with the dustbins. Steep hill from the main road.

    Located a short walk from rail and bus stations, and not far from town centre

    Staff lovely each time but only one of them so had to wait ages on arrival as they were busy serving in the restaurant. Had to leave before breakfast, were promised sandwiches but these did not materialise. On second stay room was extremely hot - had to leave patio doors open all night.

    Stayed twice for 1 night either end of a trip to the Scilly Isles. First stay room much nicer (and cheaper). Shared areas, restaurant & garden all very nice. Friendly pleasant staff. Would certainly stay again. DBB deal great value.

    The hotel is located on a hill and parking is on a slant making it very difficult to park and hard to find on street parking.

    The room was nice and clean, welcome sweets and few snacks were included. The hotel staff were very helpful, as I had forgotten my drivers licence in the reception, after checking out.

    Not really a criticism as not their fault, but the dining room was closed when I went due to a problem. Lovely restaurants a few minutes walk away (in the storm!). Really good breakfast but clearly not many guests as the hot food plate was unmanned and I didn't have much time. All my own dramas, I didn't get to make the most of the place. Would certainly return

    Beautiful reception room with chairs by the windows. Views over the ocean. I was there whilst it was stormy so very peaceful. I loved the Mediterranean diner, my bed was comfy- great pillows. Hot shower, heated towel rail, lovely TV kettle etc (some places are cheap. Not here).

    I accidentally left my charger at the hotel room. That evening, I called and the staff who answered said the cleaning staff was off and they did not have access to the lost and found. The next morning, I called again and the staff who answered said he did not receive any charger from the cleaning staff. Clearly, my charger has been taken. I emailed the hotel but I didn't receive a reply.

    The staff members at the reception were very helpful and friendly. The hotel has this vintage look and feel. We asked for the sea view and we were catered. The hotel was also within a 10-minute walking distance from Penzance Station. The sea view from the dining area (for breakfast) was amazing!

    Breakfasts were really poor for vegetarians. Always plenty of meat cooked ready, but where were the mushrooms, tomato, beans?

    Loved the location and hotel, room etc all really good for me as a walker and so close to buses.

    Tip, if staying off season mid week do not expect a cooked breakfast or your room serviced daily. Breakfast mid week was toast, cereal and yoghurt. No boiled egg as that required a chef to be called in. Come the weekend with more guests, the breakfast was very good. Did not receive a friendly welcome compared to other places I stayed in Cornwall. No bar fridge in the room. If walking to town, hotel location is up a steep hill.

    Room was clean and spacious.

    The hotel was undergoing some renovation work, which meant hot breakfast options were not available for a couple of mornings, but understand due to the time of our stay. Would return again during a busier period. Noticed some aspects of the room needed a bit more cleaning (around windows), but again, this would not deter us from returning. Sometimes staff weren't immediately available, but again, this was understandable considering the aforementioned works and time of stay. Again staff were attentive and helpful when needed.

    Location is great as only a short walk from the town centre. The room we stayed in was large and comfortable, with an excellent view overlooking St. Michael's Mount (not all rooms overlook but I would stay here again in another room). Washing/toilet facilities were good, with a powerful shower, despite being on the top floor. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast range was good, with good hot veggie options, hot drinks, cereals, fruit, etc. Good range of facilities in room, including hairdryer, iron, TV, dry cleaning facility (to order).
