My partner and I had a fabulous time at this much loved and cared for hotel. We stayed for two days in October and I could not fault it. The room, restaurant evening meal and breakfast were all out of this world. I particularly loved the free afternoon tea laid on in the drawing room for guests to help themselves.... More

I researched hotels for our recent New Years break very thoroughly, and finally chose this hotel. I was a little concerned by some previous reviews, but I can assure you these concerns were totally unfounded. It makes me wonder which planet some people are on! We arrived on 30th and immediately had a superb welcome from reception. Our room (we... More

A well-managed, small hotel, but providing big hotel touches. Great attention to detail in the rooms and public areas, and spotlessly clean. Comfortable lounges offering complimentary afternoon tea and cakes - a very nice idea. Happy hours at the beginning and end of the evening -good value! Even an honesty bar in the lounge for late night tipplers. We regretfully... More

The first thing to impress us was a friendly voice (Peter) saying 'Welcome to Hotel Penzance' which was a precursor to our whole stay. Then there was Jerry the Cat, a gorgeous creamy chap who lays on the rug by the fire - we immediately felt cosy. Lounge is very comfy. Lovely superior sea view room - it was like... More

We try to use Hotel Penzance whenever we are in town, and have never been disappointed. The rooms are are first class with all the touches, such as bath robes, that you would expect from a top notch hotel. The staff are friendly and complementary coffee and cakes are an afternoon treat. The Bay resturant is superb and all the... More

This hotel was as near to perfect as you would wish. The welcome given, the cleanliness of our room, the attention to detail, all through the visit all the staff were so pleasant and attentive. The food in the restaurant was excellent as was the breakfast. Well worth visiting and we hope to return again. More

I thought long and hard about what to call this review, which on the face of it may be hard to believe. The staff are almost uniformly excellent. They are well trained (very rare in a British Hotel) and like working there (unknown in a British Hotel). Both of these things show in the way that they go about their... More

Thank you so much for letting us know about your experience here...You are quite right about the housekeepers needing to close the sash windows fully, it was an oversight and it is now securely closed. We had no idea about the deterioration of the sprung mattress, but will certainly rectify the problem; there is no arguement that it's essential that... More

Only spent the one night, but we were treated like their best customer who was staying for weeks! Realy nice place to be, with great views from our room (deluxe) and stunning views whilst eating our lovely cooked breakfast, which was also very nice. Room itself was massive. Great shower/wetroom and the ipod dock was a great touch! IMO. More
