Has the hotel had a change of ownership? Because loads differed from the older reviews (which were really great). Plus, many of the facilities promised simply don't exist - as if there's been a huge cost-cutting exercise. Both the hotel website AND EXPEDIA need to update the hotel's offerings as they are incorrect. * No warm welcome with a glass of bubbly (just a deserted reception & then a man demanding to see my ID! (Reception was unmanned, no-one to ask about things) * No blackout curtains in room (roller blinds) * No premium Egyptian cotton bedding (just standard hotel satin-stripe) *No espresso maker (just standard kettle, sachets, etc) *No free bottle water (just tap water in a bottle) *No designer toiletries (just pump action bottles locked into bathroom walls) *No chocolates in room (just crisps, nuts & biscuits) *Towel rail & room light not working *Ashtrays outside breakfast room window with cig butts floating in rainwater *Terrible breakfast (NOTHING LIKE THE WEBSITE PHOTO - no artisan-style rolls & breads, no continental meats, no cheese, no melon slices, no deli items) - inedible overcooked bacon & sausage, eggs with broken yolks, choice of sliced white or brown bread only *CHEF, WHEN ASKED, SAID THEY NO LONGER DO THE LAVISH BREAKFAST ON THE WEBSITE This hotel needs RE-GRADING - it's no longer 4-star - and Expedia & the hotel website need to update the hotel offerings & hotel needs to remove the lavish breakfast photo & welcome with glass of bubbly.

Let me start by saying all the staff were very pleasant and efficient. The dinner both nights was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was also fresh and tasty. However, our room was much in need of a makeover: one of the wall lights was flickering; the heated towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work so was freezing and towels didn’t dry; there was mould in the bath/shower; very dated shower fixture over bath. Needs tearing out and starting again. The room was also small with dated, dark wooden furniture. Disappointing.

Won’t be going back.
The hotel has changed management and not for the better. Breakfast was always a feast but is now cooked in the dining room and takes forever. The front door does not close properly so the wind howls through the building rattling doors all night

People and service were friendly and caring. No hassles and any inconvenience quickly dealt with. The hill is a challenge if walking with luggage, but exercise after a train ride was welcomed.

I can not fault our stay at Hotel Penzance. We were warmly greeted at reception on check-in and personally taken to our room. Our room had superb sea views, and a very comfortable bed and bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, all fresh produce and excellent service. We will certainly be returning if we are in the area again.

I only stayed one night but it was obvious that the whole experience was set up on customer satisfaction. Very pleasant and would definitely stay there again .the only slight criticism was the water system was quite load but that could easily be rectified with a few simple tweaks.I would recommend it to friends.

How this hotel has been given a 4 star rating is outrageous. I remember my stays over 40 years and have been really satisfied all round. Now under new ownership the standard is appalling. Room 2 with badly stained carpet entering the bathroom. Shower that floods up to the toilet. Marks on the bathroom wall from an adhesive fitting no longer there. No effort for room service other than to make up beds. Move furniture to plug in a kettle. I will not be staying there again.
