Guest Reviews
- Melody (10/5): - This is really a unique and special hotel with wonderful people and food. Great location. Jane and the entire staff were amazing!
- Phoebe (10/5): - All the staff were wonderful and accommodating and very polite and helped with all of our requests with a smile. We didn’t eat at the hotel but we did enjoy some drinks at the bar and for a small hotel, it was well stocked! Easy to find and quiet, would happily stay again.
- Mark (10/5): - Beautiful rooms and suites. Great staff. Loved our stay here. Highly recommended.
- John (10/5): - Such a great hotel with wonderful staff and an excellent restaurant on-site. Easy access to the waterfront. Really cool property.
- Heidi (10/5): - Was only there for one night/day on a quick unexpected trip to the area and the property was just what I needed. Wish I had more time to explore it and have a meal on site, everyone there was helpful and friendly and the place was super cute and peaceful. Great location. Good vibe.
- Jack (10/5): - Nice hotel with nice bars near by. The room is clean and stylish and staffs are friendly. Great selection of personal care products.
- Lindsey (10/5): - Very cute
- Martin (8/5): Good - Cosy but nice room. Well located. Very nice staff.
- Louise (10/5): - Really cool and quirky hotel with fabulous staff
- Ranvir (10/5): Fantastic Hotel in Cornwall - Great hotel, friendly staff, really nice bar area & great food. Would highly recommend if staying in Cornwall, with good rail links.
- Georgina (10/5): - We had an amazing stay in the 3 bedroom cottage in Penzance. Jonathan was amazing to deal with and the room was beyond spectacular! Worth every penny. We only stayed the one night for my friends 60th Birthday. We wanted to go to see the St Michaels Mount, which we did walk to but it was closed on Saturday’s! Jonathan offered other options and was helpful. We dined there as well and the food was delicious and service was first class. I cannot say enough about how much we loved our stay. Next time I will book for a longer stay!
- Jeany (10/5): - The room was so cozy, the drinks were ave, and I especially loved the eco friendly toiletry kits with bamboo toothbrush and toothpaste.
- Danielle (10/5): - Lovely, pet-friendly hotel with great amenities
- Andrew (10/5): - A tremendous welcome and a really fun hotel. We had a minor booking snafu, but they dealt with it brilliantly. Will definitely stay again!
- caroline (10/5): - good hot drinks tray. comfortable mattress quiet and relaxing good stress-free stay
- Jim (10/5): Great Stay - Fantastic hotel, pleasantly surprised as I booked last minute. Extremely clean and comfortable. One small quibble would be the breakfast. A full English this was over thought and hence moved from the traditional
- Amanda (8/5): - We had a lovely weekend stay. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Room was quirky and just perfect, warm, cosy with bundles of character. Room was very well kitted out from chargers, slippers, robes and the complimentary toiletries and tea making facilities of excellent quality. No noise at night, bed was really comfortable and the lavender pillow spray was much appreciated. We both slept like babies. Breakfast was hot and the full English wasn't swimming in greese and eggs perfect. Our only negative was that the evening menu was limited and not to everyones taste, so the second evening we opted to eat out. They would benefit from a weekly rotating menu for variety. Otherwise excellent and we would stay again in the future and recomend to our family and friends.
- Gail (10/5): - Loved it, quirky and very interesting … perfect.
- Abdullahi (10/5): - Incredible rustic decor with a warm ambiance that gives you the feeling of a home away from home.
- Jill (10/5): - It was so comfy and amazing. Jane was fantastic as a server, so friendly and welcoming. Love the space. Good food. Great drinks. Quiet but not too quiet. I will go back!
- Afiq (4/5): - Stayed in the Chapel Suite (Luxury Suite) for 2 nights and we were hugely disappointed with our experience. The room is on the first floor and overlooks the main road, Chapel Street which is very noisy in early mornings as it is a one-way street and the windows in the living area aren’t double-glazed or even glazed at all as you can hear pretty much any conversation, coughs, or car noises that passes throughout the day. In addition, the room floor is super squeaky and all we could hear at night are the stumping noises from the floor above as it’s not soundproof at all. We didn’t get any good night sleep for both nights. Secondly, the cleanliness standard is appalling – there was a thick layer of dust on the headboard of the bed, hair and stains on the mattress, grubby dark scum on bathroom floor and I don’t think they even hoover or mop the room as there was so much dirt, try looking under the carpet and you’ll have the shock of your life. There’s also cobwebs and spiders which I don’t understand how the cleaners can miss if they indeed clean the room. The only positive notes (2 stars) are the staff and food at restaurant. We dined in both nights and the staff are friendly and compliments to the chef and kitchen for a delightful dining experience. One callout is that it’s weird that there’s no easy way for a hotel guest to order room service, it’s either calling reception to be transferred or the quicker option is going down to place an order.
- John (6/5): - Room was small and noisy. Otherwise ok
- Hannah (6/5): - The room was stylishly done but felt overpriced given the size of it. The team were obviously busy and the online check in meant the start didn't feel particularly welcoming. Disappointed that breakfast want included in the price.
- Tom (10/5): Greathotel - nice stay - Great hotel
- Claire (8/5): Great place to stay in Penzance - Lovely hotel with great outside bar and restaurant. Room very cozy - if not a little hot. All positive accept bit more information at check in could be given ie wi fi code and breakfast times etc. Breakfast food and would definitely stay again 😊
- Jingnan (6/5): - The room was decorated quite well. My main complain is the temperature in the room. We arrived a
- Verified traveler (8/5): A quick one nighter - A very comfortable, clean room, TV not so good. Wanted to watch something for half an hour before bed but hardly any of the mainstream channels worked
- Jonathan K. (8/5): - The only detriment was lack of an elevator. Otherwise AOK
- Hannah (10/5): - Loved loved this place. Will definitely stay here again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Unique decor. Loved the onsite restaurant. The area was breath taking.
- nathan (10/5): Very good - Very good. Good breakfast, good service
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The hotel had a nice decor and the room amenities were of good quality.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and the rooms are lovely. The food at the Cornish Barn is great too.Highly recommended
- Verified traveler (10/5): Charming place - Comfy Double Room was well set up, with a plug by the bed on both sides to charge phones. Staff was delightful, food was great. They serve breakfast until 2:30pm, which is absolutely brilliant. Great location for exploring Penzance with free street parking not too far away. Excellent water pressure, even on the top floor. Would definitely stay here again in the future!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff provided a consistently high level of service and the venue is quirky.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Homely rooms in the centre of Penzance. Received a free room upgrade on arrival.
- Lee (10/5): Can’t wait to visit again! - Beautiful spa-like inn by the sea.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Restaurant experience was not good although new staff had just started, the wrong meal came the chips were awful. Eventually sorted out and was all fine after the blip, breakfast was excellent ! Would stay again.
- Nicholas (10/5): Great place to stay in southern Cornwall - An excellent choice right in the heart of Penzance. Quirky decorations, relaxed atmosphere, good room excellent evening meal and breakfast. One of the few places I've stayed at that actual knows what gluten free means
- Odette L (10/5): A room with a view in old town Penzance - I had a lovely stay. The room started off as very hot but I was able to cool it down. It was a cute attic room - perfect for 1. The staff were lovely, but I felt a touch stretched at times. I felt well looked after. Dinner was delicious, finished with an espresso martini in the lounge. A cosy boutique hotel in the old part of Penzance.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful service from the staff. Gorgeous interior design. Excellent service. Only negative was some black mould in the bathroom and the Wi-fi didn’t work in the room. Food was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble.
- C (8/5): - A pleasant experience overall and I would recommend it, but we couldn't get the blind up so our room felt quite dark, and for someone like me with poor eyesight it is frustrating not to be able to plug in the hairdryer and stand Right in front of a mirror to dry my hair.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful boutique hotel in Penzance with such lovely staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very unique property as each room is painted by a different local artist. The room put a smile on our face when we walked in.
- Paul (10/5): Fun hotel in the centre of Penzance - Interesting hotel with lots of quirky features. Comfy rooms, great cocktails. Big terrace and garden.
- Arnold (6/5): Lovely quirky hotel that doesn’t quite deliver. - Beautifully decorated albeit a bit of a teenage son bedroom theme...half expected a pair of smelly trainers under the bed! The bed was hard and the pillows were like boards. I love the ideas behind this hotel but it seems a bit tired...dirty stair carpet .Painting Farrow and Ball everywhere is simply not enough. The tables all wobble irritatingly throughout your meal, the facilities are limited, parking is tricky etc. I wanted to love it but .....well we didn’t! It is howeve, way better than the Oxfordshire Artists Residence!!!
- John (10/5): Lovely - a unique hotel with the friendliest staff - I arrived late - the hotel rang me while I was en route to check I was coming and to reassure me that I wouldn't be locked out! I then got myself lost and they came to guide me to the hotel and weren't remotely put out by this stupid tourist being a bit of a pain. So I was already more than happy. But the hotel is lovely. Each room is different. I was in number 4 - 'the Admiral Benbow', named after the quaint pub opposite. It was decorated in similar fashion and looked gorgeous. The bed was big and comfortable but the room was still spacious. It had a well stocked minibar and TV and wifi and water, coffee and tea and a handy guide to the area. I had a great night's sleep and then a nice breakfast (which is extra) in the morning. What particularly stands out for me is the friendliness and cheeriness of every single member of hotel staff I encountered. They promise to treat every visitor as an individual and that's exactly how it felt. Based on this experience I am definitely coming back!
- James (10/5): - Was very good food and accommodation
- Gerry (8/5): Midsummer Artist's Residence - All good except the room was very hot with no airconditioning & virtually impossible to open the windows. Staff were very helpful with leaving /collecting luggage. To describe the room would be a spoiler as they are unique - suffice to say comfortable bed, excellent shower & toiletries, good hospitality tray & well stocked fridge including fresh milk. Good choice at breakfast. We had an evening meal - good choice & quick service. About 10 minutes walk from the train station. Penlee house/gallery & Morrab gardens/library also about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. 25 - 30 minute walk to Newlyn.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very convenient for the Scillies ferry. Rooms well equipped and staff kind and attentive. Bed v comfortable but room very small. Cost somewhat high for room only and no breakfast included.
- william (10/5): excellent location - one big advantage was being able to have breakfast up to 14.30 !!!!! The food was good and I would use this hotel again
- Lisa (10/5): - Staff were wonderful and couldn’t have been more helpful after our late arrival. Quality of food was outstanding and original. Some investment is needed in rooms - particularly bathrooms as even though hotel is new, the bathrooms were tired.
- Jessica (10/5): You’ll never want to leave the room. - The room was fantastic, with lots of little touches that made us want to stay indoors and never explore! Staff was very accommodating- we at dinner and breakfast here as well, and it was all fantastic!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Lovely town but best if you’re not driving - The residence is nice but if you’re driving you need to come prepared to drive around to look for a place to park, and you still might end up with having to move the car before 9am. It’s also a shame that breakfast isn’t included and can be a bit overpriced - £7 for (one slice) of French toast seems a bit excessive when a burger costs £9. But if you’re into a place with a strong hipster-ish kind of decoration you might enjoy. The bar and restaurant are just downstairs which can be handy. Staff were friendly and dealt with booking issues quickly. The room wasn’t ready so they upgraded us and offered drink vouchers and somehow the reservation was showing that we owed half of the stay when we booked via Expedia. But all dealt with smoothly.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Comfortably stylish - Comfortably stylish, the food is very good as are the beds and duck down duvets. Friendly staff and great location, excellent for harbour, Scillonion and the historic parts of Penzance.
- S (6/5): Deceptive - I was really looking forward to staying at this hotel after reading the reviews and looking at the pictures. In reality, our room was very small and quite tired looking. The room would benefit from a lick of paint and a good scrub. The toilet and bathroom was clean. I think the hotel was quite overpriced. The hotel has a strong smell of food throughout it. All in all, penzance rather run down with not much to do but is within reasonable driving distance of lands end, sennen cove etc.
- rosie (8/5): excellent location - Breakfast not included but very good and reasonably priced. Room and hotel generally very pleasant and good quality, but stairs carpet was filthy and let it down, hence 3 for condition. Bad impression as you go up to your room. Otherwise wooden floors lovely. Dinner menu looked superb, but too expensive. We crossed the road to the Turk’s Head pub and had a wonderful meal at a much lower cost. Cost of breakfast on top of room price made this a fairly expensive stay, but it was enjoyable. Staff were particularly good.
- Sandra (10/5): Urban heaven - A little urban spot in a perfect cornwall heaven
- Matt (10/5): Brilliant! - Great service, they welcomed us in for breakfast when we arrived really early. The room was fab - with a free standing bath in it! Clean, funky and great service. I would recommend.
- Keith (10/5): Relaxing break - Enjoyed our stay, staff very good, food excellent Fantastic location Many thanks
- Verified traveler (8/5): Short break - The hotel is in a great location, we enjoyed our stay, food was delicious, staff were so helpful and informative, it was a pleasure
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nifty, imaginative, cute, central and memorable... - The hotel is very quirky. We loved the strange decor of our room. The location is good, however, parking & getting luggage out is a bit of a challenge when parking is not available outside the hotel. The staff were very helpful at moving our baggage as we parked on some double yellow lines momentarily. Bed, bedding and pillows were very nice...good quality, comfy and clean. There were a few issues with stuff being charged to our room in error. The staff were understanding about this and resolved it. The bar & dining room staff were very lovely indeed. Everyone was doing their best... We would stay there again...nifty, cute and memorable...
- Andy M (10/5): A new hotel experience - Excellent interior design and attention to detail making the stay so much more enjoyable than the usual lifeless hotel rooms. I have spent over 40 years working abroad and living from a suitcase but this hotel was a new and very pleasurable experience and one I want to repeat. Well done
- Charlotte (10/5): Delightful Penzance Getaway - Loved it - they've put a huge amount of thought into this creative, fun little place.
- DamianD (10/5): Cute bar/bistro/comfy rooms in centre of Penzance - I've stayed there several times and think it's much better than a B&B (and there are no decent hotels to speak of in the vicinity of Penzance). Just bear in mind that Penzance is a long way from most places (5-6 hours from London by train, but the journey is spectacular in parts). Artist Residence is a large town house conversion with a bar and bistro on the ground floor (the bistro has smoking as a speciality) and rooms above (with a few on the ground floor as well). The decor is pleasant and the rooms are airy, some with views of the pub opposite and some of the coast (I've stayed a few times). Young staff are friendly. I had no problem with a late checkout. Good, free wifi. Breakfasts are particularly good: try the bacon, poached egg and Hollandaise on sourdough bread or the spinach and local blue cheese also on sourdough. Some decent restaurants along the quay. Good for exploring the coast, visiting St Ives and Land's End etc.... 5-6 hours from London on the train.
- Julia (8/5): Characterful, with a shabby-chique atmosphere. - Our room was on the ground floor, so rather dark expecially as the walls were painted a dark blue. We did not see the upstairs rooms but would guess that they are much lighter. The bright and cheerful fridge in the room had fresh milk for guests to use. The young staff were great, cheerful and friendly at all times. The bathroom was brilliant with good hot shower.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Overpriced for standard - As a comparison with similar priced places in Cornwall this does not meet the same level of service standard. Pros - Rooms have a nice feeling.Quality of toiletries very good. Clean. Cons - Left standing around laden with bags on arrival with bar staff ignoring us. Had to ask to check in. No parking unless you get lucky. Common areas looking tired with scuffed paint and awkward entry doors to get luggage through. Food quality very good but let down by inattentive service and surrounding tables being left uncleaned. Strange setup with open dishwasher, dirty dishes and cloths right in eating area. Nearly every guest arriving for breakfast had to search for someone to acknowledge their presence and take an order. Empty salt and pepper. All of the cons are things I wouldn't expect to come across in a hotel at the price level this one is pitched at. It is difficult to do 'casual' right without sliding over to scruffy, sloppy and inattentive which is unfortunately what we experienced. At a lower price our expectations would have been met but this place needs to up it's game on the attention given to guests to justify being more than a quirky 'hostel'
- Mona (4/5): - I was dissapointed not getting a room with a bathtub. Please note breakfast in not included wiht any type of room. The shower was not warming up in the night, we've left it run for 10-15 minutes then gave up.
- Thomas (8/5): Great Stay! - Hotel is very well decorated and clean. Breakfast was great and the room well stocked with minibar and snacks. Perfect location for getting around Penzance. The only detracting thing was some noise overnight - not sure if it was the beer garden attached to the bar downstairs or random revellers in the streets. But that is the price you pay to have a central location I guess.
- Suzy O. (8/5): Great Location, very artistic hotel! - Amazing location, close to the harbour and cute independent shops. Although we stayed for a short time, we enjoyed the stay. The breakfast is said to have won awards, however, we never tried it as it had no halal or vegetarian options. On a friday night the restaurant and bar area was quite busy and we got to have tea and played some games available in the "commom room". Disappointed in the fact that at 9pm we wanted to get some desserts with tea but were quite rudely told that the kitchen was closed, which was odd seeing as it was quite busy. Some really cool and artistic features throughout the hotel, and a cool terrace area (which unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy due to poor weather). Room was a little small, with quite a small TV, but was overall clean and in good condition, and that is considering I am quite picky with cleaningness. Would recommend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Very central in Penzance - unfortunately no parkin - Very pleasant, good food and very nice staff - parking situation makes it difficult for luggage, Incertainty where and when to park on very hilly location
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very good one night stay - Very nice room, the decor is fab. Good breakfast and friendly staff.
- Brent and Gill (10/5): Lovely hotel - the only issue is parking - As the title implies, the only issue is parking. There are a number of on-road overnight slots outside the hotel but after 0930 you have to find a car park. Other than that it is a lovely place to stay. Genuinely welcoming staff; great public rooms with bags of atmosphere; comfortable, clean and welcoming bedrooms: and great food with an excellent drinks selection. Definitely recommended and certainly where we will head for on our next trip to Penzance in the summer.
- Pam (10/5): Loved the place! - I had a small but comfortable room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. No issues getting information, leaving luggage, quick check in and out. I also liked the style of the accommodation. There was a lovely restaurant and bar/lounge, plus several terrace or outdoor spots to relax in. Great place for a drink or a coffee while writing postcards! And the food was delish. Enjoyed it immensely.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent .. - Excellent put car parking would have been better.........
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great location and restaurant - Very clean and modern room unfortunately our room was uncomfortably hot even with the windows wide open. Room 16 is over the kitchen with hot pipes running up the wall in the cupboard, might be nice in winter but way too hot for us.
- Bjoern-Andre (8/5): Unique Hotel - Good location as in the heart of Penzance. Nice rooms with very unique decoration. The bathrooms are very new and clean. The reception is managed by the restaurant and unfortunately this is the main problem - no service as you would expect from a hotel. Breakfast was already over at 9:30 on the weekend (unfrotunately nobody told us during checkin). It can be very loud (our room was facing the street where a lot of pubs are on).
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very friendly and helpful staff. - Restaurant was excellent. Rooms were unique and tastefully decorated.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Room floor wasn't clean . Toilet is small. No microwave oven . Don't like charging for mini bar when paying £245 for a night in cottage . Hair in the bed . However , friendly and helpful staffs , no towels during the check in . Drink voutures have been given by staff .,but couldn't go to toilet for 3 hours bcz towel wasn't available .
- Verified traveler (6/5): Central location - Up a hill from the train station. Steep stairs to get to our room. Large bathroom with no racks for the towels or any counter space. Room moist and hot. Right over the bar and near outdoor games which were very noisy. Needed loud fan in order to sleep. Breakfast very tasty with reasonable prices.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Rooms need Improvement / Good restaurant - We think the cheapest rooms need conditioning and the newest most expensive rooms need to be finished well ( bathroom door didn't close and proper hangers and space to leave clothes was not available, tv did not work properly).....the bathrub at the newest rooms is great, out from the bathroom. Decoration is nice. Breakfasts are very good. Overpriced.
