We stayed at the Hotel Penzance for a couple of nights a few days ago, early December. I must say we had a wonderful stay. Obviously, out of season, we didn't pay as much as in season, and we had no trouble parking in the small car park. The staff were delightful, friendly, welcoming and helpful. One carried a very heavy case up to our room for us, and at 75 I found that a blessing! The room with a view over the harbour was beautiful and the on-suite was immaculate and well appointed. We loved the food, and my Eggs Benedict for breakfast was the best I have ever had. Excellent.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Near to the beach and train station. Bright, clean and lovely room with really nice sea view. We enjoyed our stay but a bit disappointed with the restaurant. Although it is nice and has lovely view, winter menu is limited. We appreciate Enya help, she is really friendly and welcoming, her helpfulness and friendliness made us feel that we were her own guests. Thank you Enya and thank you Hotel Penzance.

Arrived in Penzance Station early evening, to a storm.
Took a short journey in a taxi to the Penzance Hotel.
Greeted with a warm friendly welcome. Asked about my requirements for dining and breakfast, and Covid rules politely explained. Escorted to my room.
The room was a dream. Spacious, beautifully furnished, large comfy bed and quality bedding. Wonderful bathroom.
Modern 48 inch TV. Kettle and coffee maker, with generous, quality tea, coffee and biscuits.
Warm welcome in the excellent dining room. Comfortable seating. Delicious meal. Excellent friendly service.
Room with a view: St Michael

Stayed here for 5 nights and had an amazing time. The hotel was very clean and the staff were all so friendly and helpful.
The view from our room was just amazing, so we spent a lot of time sitting on the cosy armchairs and looking out. We stayed in a dog friendly room which was such a bonus to have our pup with us.
The outdoor pool was heated and open all year round, which was perfect.
We will definitely be staying here again. It was great and no faults whatsoever.

Really too expensive for what you get. Paid 260 per night and the room was very poor. The wallpaper was hanging off, the side of the bath blistered, and there was black mould on the windows. The restaurant service and food was great, a real highlight, and the outdoor pool (although part cordoned off for safety?? No signs just 2 traffic cones and the boards creaking under foot) was nicely heated and clean and another highlight.
Don't expect a parking space although rooms are advertised with parking, we were told that some guests bring multiple cars and that they only have 7 spaces for 20 rooms

I can't help but feel, after spending two nights in Penzance, that this is probably the best hotel in town, but that doesn't make it good.
The website presents a picture of what one might want in a hotel on the coast, but doesn't deliver it in any way. It's set in a residential area, which is nice and quiet, and just a short walk to the town center. But, the website is the "best" part of this hotel. We booked a Superior Double sea view room, which despite it being one of the highest-priced rooms at the hotel, was tiny. The furniture is quite scuffed up, indicating
