The location of the Longboat Inn Hotel was excellent for the railway, buses and boat trips on the Scillonian 111 for day trips to the isles of Scilly also the main town shops etc. We travelled down on the Night Riviera Sleeper train from London Paddington which was excellent, so made good use of the public transport availability in the area.

I have stayed at the Longboat eight times before, so if I have been so often, my view will likely be positive. It will be. This is an excellent choice for Penzance, this time of year and what I want to do. An excellent team in charge, very efficient, can handle any details. Pleased they run normally over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The Longboat is incredibly close to both train and bus stations. Chinese restaurants good in Penzance and Little India near the Longboat. Excursions I would recommend, the Lizard, Minack Theatre, South Coast Path near Pendeen, Falmouth.

Not a question to answer. Always enjoy my time here.

Slept well as the beds were very comfortable. Food in the restaurant (breakfast and dinner) was very good and well cooked. The location for us was excellent as it was near the long term car park and harbour (we stayed for a day prior to going to, and after returning from, the Scilly Isles. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

It's a fairly old building so, whilst it was clean and generally well decorated (if you like brown!) it showed in things like the small and slightly shabby en suites (although I believe they are working to improve these). Also, it's a bit of a warren when getting to your room, with lots of stairs and fire doors to negotiate with your luggage. Only a minor inconvenience though and to be expected in a building like the Longboat Inn.

The beds were very comfortable. We were able to check in late without any issues. The room was clean and the facilities were good. We were able to hang around to work with ease the following morning in the main area and had an enjoyable lunch. The morning staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, we didn't feel rushed out and were made to feel comfortable and welcomed.

The evening staff were less friendly, although I understand they may have been busy. We were unable to eat there so had to find an alternative up the road, which was fine as we found a very tasty pizza place! Unfortunately there was a light right outside the window which made the room very bright so needed to put blankets up to dim this to sleep.

Excellent location, super friendly staff, nice old fashioned hotel. Really enjoyed my stay here. Excellent food, so you may want to book in advance to secure a table. 3-4 minutes walk from the railways station and the bus station. Arrived and left by train, but had lots of daytrips by bus. Public transport is amazingly good, both frequent, easy and affordable. With a day pass you can use all the different bus companies. Happy ti recommend and to stay here again.

There are stairs to the rooms, so could be an obstacle for some.

Ideally located if you want to take Scillonian III to get to the Scillies (12 minutes on foot to the quay) or plan to travel by bus or train (both stations about 2 minutes´ walk). The room was big enough and really comfortable, had a TV, fan and electric kettle + tea/coffee. There was a vending machine in the corridor with snacks and drinks at reasonable prices. Check-in very fast - you provide all the necessary information online and pay in advance. Excellent buffet breakfast. Nice staff.

A bit of smell in the bathroom but nothing serious.

The location was great. Right next to the railway station and perfect for an early start on the Coast Path. All the staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help with queries and bookings for dinner/breakfast. My little room was clean and cosy

There was an incessant noise in room 7, a bit like someone kept turning on a leaf blower. It was probably the extraction system from one of the bathrooms next door, but it woke me up quite a few times during the night. The matras was also very soft, so all in all a bit of a broken night's sleep

Food was excellent with plenty of options for those people with food allergies and the quality was outstanding. The staff were also excellent, helpful and approachable at all times. The Pub/dinning area was a very good place to sit and unwind after a long day either watching sport, having a chat or even playing a game. The location was ideal, close to the main transport hubs and close to the seafront.

Our room was on the top floor and this made it hard for my partner as she has a bad knee, the hotel was fully boked but we managed ok, the shower was a little cramped but it would have helped to have handles in the shower/toilet to aid getting into and out of the shower.

Great location with easy access to both the rail and bus station as well as other offerings in Penzance. I was walking the coastal path from St Ives, and it was a nice accommodation after a long walk. The room was nice and the bed was comfy — very happy with my stay!

I recommend making a reservation for dinner and breakfast if you want to eat there since they were strict about that. I had checked in after a 12-mile walk and didn't think about making a reservation for dinner. They were not able to offer a table when I inquired at 8 pm.

The location is excellent; just 2 minute walk from the train station. The hotel is a bit old but the room is clean. The breakfast is good. The food at the restaurant downstairs is very good too. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We arrived before 1 pm but he allowed us to check in the room.

The toilet is a bit small and old. There is no lift; luckily we only had to carry our luggages for 1 floor, but our room was at the end of the corridor and we had to go through 4 doors.
