Penzance lodging near Train Station

This was a very nice three day stay at the Longboat in Penzance. Very clean, very friendly place, and very secure. The breakfast offered is more than plentiful, and the service quite good.
Tim, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location next to trains, and a fantastic pub/hotel with a very welcoming & friendly vibe. I wasn't expecting breakfast so this was a bonus to me! That said, rather pricey and not too good at being environmentally minded (single use plastics for soap and tiny bottles for example).

Staff were very attentive and helpful even though we only had a flying visit.

6/10 Good

The location of the Longboat Inn is fantastic (very close to the train station and in downtown Penzance). The beer selection is great and the staff were great (particularly Ryan). The rooms are small and we had difficulty getting any hot water in the morning.
Jonathan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient, train station a few steps away and so was the bus station. Happy and welcoming staff and good pub food. Will definitely recommend for anybody who had a long journey by train, so convenient. Credit to the manager and his staff.

Lovely and convenient stopover

Fabulous location for a stopover on the way to the Scillies. It is a couple of minutes from the railway station and less than ten minutes to the ferry. The pub and restaurant are friendly with good service and food. Book a table before you arrive as they get busy!
Clifford, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Walking distances to train and bus station. There is a bit of a walk up stairs with luggage. No elevator. The rooms are named after different places in area. The one downside is the dinning area needed reservations and stop food early. Luggage storage great. Communication prior to visit was amazing. Would stay there again and overall enjoyed visit.
Sara, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dirty nets on the windows with dead insects in them, wasps flys etc. the bed was extremely uncomfortable, I could see the sheets had been washed but they were very stained. The toilet seat was also clean but very stained. The television is a distant away from the bed, as it is sick a small tv; it on was difficult to see/watch it. Overall the room looked a dirty magnolia, it definitely needs updating. I was disappointed.

Warm, cozy, comfortable inn - great value

I was very pleased with the Longboat Inn. I arrived after a hard day walking the Coastal Path and the first impression was that the Longboat Inn is a warm, cozy, comfortable place - both downstairs in the bar/restaurant and in my room. The building is old and quirky but very clean and comfortable. My single room was at the back of the building and had a view of an ugly alley. However, the room itself was fine. It was warm and clean with tea and coffee provided. The bathroom was surprisingly large. It had a big window so it was full of light. That window was frosted for privacy which also had the benefit of hiding the ugly alley. The bed was one of the most comfortable I came across during my time in Cornwall. I was surprised that breakfast was included in my room price. The breakfast was great. The location is great - in the middle of town, a couple of mins from the bus station and a Tesco Express. Despite being the only place that did not put my delivered bag in my room, I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Overall the Longboat Inn was a great choice.

6/10 Good

A nice stay but first impressions were not good!

Room was basic and a little out dated, but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast and evening meal were both good and service was with a smile. Check-in was a terrible experience! I presented myself at reception where a guy was standing, he looked at me , ignored me and made out he was looking at a sheet of paper! Another member of staff was aware of the situation and eventually he stepped in and offered some assistance. This approach on arrival is never a good start, so my stay was marred. If I hadn’t of paid I would have walked out! First impressions are important.

Great location, lovely breakfast!

One night stay for a flying visit. Rooms are quite tired but perfectly functional. Bar was really nice and they were showing the football. Really nice atmosphere in there, lots of holiday makers and food looked good. Breakfast was awesome. Didn't need to eat the rest of the day! A two minute walk to the station.

Christina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy access, very clean and fine room. We arrived at around 9.30pm, and went straight to bed. There is a little sofa area with a lovely view should you want to stay up and not be in the pub. Good for small children also. We had breakfast in the morning which was also fine and made our way.

Great stay. The staff were excellent. Spacious room and ensuite. Very comfortable bed. Would highly recommend. No lift but stairs were manageable.
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The team were fab! But it's a pub and at times I didn't feel safe with the members of the public that were in the bar and the smoking area. Other than that? The room was large and clean. Though I didn't get the cord for the shower, and shower curtain and water going everywhere.
