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.

Very close to the train station and the bus terminal, which was great for us as we had no car. Room was basic and small, but it was clean and comfortable. They have a breakout area on the first floor which is lovely to sit and watch the world go by.

The Longboat provided excellent service .The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. All worked well. The Longboat does not pretend to be the height of luxury.It provides good solid service which fully satisfied our needs on this short break. It is ideally situated on one of Penzances main streets and close to a large carpark. Hope this helps. R and K Cleave

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.

Overnight stay

A lovely stay & my only regret was that I hadn’t booked a table for an evening meal so we had to go elsewhere.

Great Location

Fantastic location and room 3 was quiet. Room was fine except there was no outlet for hairdryer next to a mirror. If you need or like to dry your hair in front of a mirror then this room isn’t for you. The staff were pleasant and the hotel was overall great bargain for what we paid. The hallways were honestly a mess and they need a revamp. You get what you pay for. The senior menu is offered to those over 60 y/o. Do not get the prawns and cold French fries. Prawns were fried and just like warm. My mistake I should have ordered from main menu.

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.

Parking is not available at the property, it cost 10.50 for overnight parking. Room was basic and in dire need of refurbishment, black mold in shower and inadequate flow. Dining was average, a request for bread rather than crackers on a cheese board was denied with a comment that we don’t have bread!!! Blatantly untrue as bread was served with soup. Breakfast again basic although the chef and waiter did everything to be obliging. Noisy at night as traffic continually flowing by.
