Staff very helpful, breakfast was good quality and the central location is perfect.
Room was very much as expected. Excellent location for train station and town. Very friendly staff. My room was a single room which was clean and comfortable.
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.

Very convenient for station and shuttle bus to Lands End airport. We stayed one night before a holiday in the Scillies.
Had an evening meal & breakfast - both good and v friendly service
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.
Conveniently situated next to the harbour so a good overnight stop if you are at catching the ferry to the Scillies. Very friendly staff and a good pub restaurant. The room was fairly small but comfortable and very clean. Overall I good value
We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the train station for our trip back to London. Price was very reasonable, room was comfortable and quiet, meals were very good, staff were attentive
