The Hotel Penzance is absolutely lovely in every respect. Our room had a view of the water and beautiful decor. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. We only wish we'd had more time and warmer weather so we could have taken advantage of the lovely pool. Fabulous stay and fantastic staff!

Night away with grandaughter
Hotel was lovely. Nice room with seaview. Slightly datet but beds very comfortable linen spotless. Few bits of dust but nothing major. Bathroom lovely, very noisy flush tho. Shampoo shower gel provided.SADLY no conditioner. Also no hairdryer. I rang reception 5 times with no luck. Breakfast was ok. But bacon wasnt edible. Staff all standing behind the bar was slightly off putting while eating breakfast. Even chef at times..Pool was excellent. Receptionist that afternoon was lovely. Overall a pleasant stay but not worth the 269 i paid for the one night. And then had to pay 8 pds to park there.

My husband and I would only have a chance to tour the area around Penzance for three days. His family had left the tin mines of St. Just in the 1860's for America. We had a lot packed into a short time. The Penzance Hotel staff made us feel at home offering fabulous comfort, food and hospitality in the great tradition of Cornwall. Yeghes da (cheers)!

Very nice but need some improvement
The room was large and cozy. Breakfast was limited variety but great. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing. We enjoyed staying here. However, we were disappointed about a few aspects. The faucet in the bathroom was moldy. There were someone’s used socks and underwear in the wardrobe. A housekeeper knocked on our door, and informed us about the check-out time 20 minutes before actual time. It seemed she did the same thing for all rooms (We heard the knocking sound many times.). It disturbed our relaxing time. They need to clean rooms carefully instead of reminding us of the check-out time.

Has the hotel had a change of ownership? Because loads differed from the older reviews (which were really great). Plus, many of the facilities promised simply don't exist - as if there's been a huge cost-cutting exercise. Both the hotel website AND EXPEDIA need to update the hotel's offerings as they are incorrect. * No warm welcome with a glass of bubbly (just a deserted reception & then a man demanding to see my ID! (Reception was unmanned, no-one to ask about things) * No blackout curtains in room (roller blinds) * No premium Egyptian cotton bedding (just standard hotel satin-stripe) *No espresso maker (just standard kettle, sachets, etc) *No free bottle water (just tap water in a bottle) *No designer toiletries (just pump action bottles locked into bathroom walls) *No chocolates in room (just crisps, nuts & biscuits) *Towel rail & room light not working *Ashtrays outside breakfast room window with cig butts floating in rainwater *Terrible breakfast (NOTHING LIKE THE WEBSITE PHOTO - no artisan-style rolls & breads, no continental meats, no cheese, no melon slices, no deli items) - inedible overcooked bacon & sausage, eggs with broken yolks, choice of sliced white or brown bread only *CHEF, WHEN ASKED, SAID THEY NO LONGER DO THE LAVISH BREAKFAST ON THE WEBSITE This hotel needs RE-GRADING - it's no longer 4-star - and Expedia & the hotel website need to update the hotel offerings & hotel needs to remove the lavish breakfast photo & welcome with glass of bubbly.

A great hotel in Cornwall
I'd highly recommend booking this hotel for a Cornwall trip! It was in the perfect location especially for St Michael's Mount. The rooms are lovely and the service of the staff is outstanding. Ashama made us feel extremely welcome and she is so friendly. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was really good. If you're looking for a hotel in Cornwall then don't hesitate to book this one. I would recommend booking a parking space at the hotel at the time of booking as on street parking is very limited and not guaranteed. They also have electric charging points for electric vehicles if you've booked a parking bay. The hotel has great views of the sea and St Michael's Mount.

Let me start by saying all the staff were very pleasant and efficient. The dinner both nights was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was also fresh and tasty. However, our room was much in need of a makeover: one of the wall lights was flickering; the heated towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work so was freezing and towels didn’t dry; there was mould in the bath/shower; very dated shower fixture over bath. Needs tearing out and starting again. The room was also small with dated, dark wooden furniture. Disappointing.
