Penzance Bed & Breakfasts

we had some problems adjusting the hot water in our hotel room

pleasant and sociable landlady who served up a good breakfast . A comfortable bed and a good shower were very welcome.the location was ideal for public transport. the accommodation had very tired decor and in need of general improvement. the shower/ toilet room door was unwieldy and noisy along with the plumbing.

I'm struggling to find any. There was a ceiling fan which worked well. The room was extremely small; lightbulb broken; threshold to shower a trip hazard; bed mattress lumpy; window didn't open; storage for clothes inadequate; anything above waist height was dusty and cobwebby; the towels were small and grey and thin. In the other parts of the 'hotel' that I saw, carpets and furnishings were dirty and in need of renewal; there were cats cradles of trailing wires from overloaded electric points; there was a terrible smell of burning while breakfast was prepared although the food itself was ample and quite edible, if greasy; the 'butter' had been scraped into its pot and decorated with a fork; there was an ant in the sugar bowl and when I went to change it with a bowl from another table it was perfectly obvious that all of them had been filled several days before and added to over time without washing - do you want me to go on?

Location, location, location. The hot shower was great too. Breakfast. Ease of going in and out as I pleased and no rush on breakfast or checkout. It is very basic and for a double the price was high--I seemed to have paid for two breakfasts as a solo traveler (esp since I realized why my bed was uncomfortable--it was two twins shoved together).

The coastal walk is relaxing along the beach. The town is near and complete. No access and suitable for swimming.

Staff fine and food ok Room & bathroom in poor repair. General cleanliness not up to standard.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The bed is too soft for me.
