The Longboat Inn is very close to Penzance Station and not too far from the harbour, so very well situated. The room was clean and very comfortable, and the shower worked well. My room overlooked the main road, and was subject to some traffic noise (mainly from one idiot with an excessively loud motorbike who seemed to be riding up and down the road), but I had a very good night's sleep. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient, especially in the breakfast room. The breakfast menu was varied, and the food was tasty and very well-cooked.

We stayed for one night after travelling to Penzance from Norwich ready to catch the Scillonian boat to the Scilly Isles. We arrived at the end of the current heat wave so our twin room (Room #1) which overlooked the street was boiling hot and the window could only be opened a couple of inches for safety reasons. Otherwise it was fine, although the shower room was rather cramped. The staff were friendly and helpful, even bothering to ring us to tell us they had found my husband's cap which he'd left in our room by mistake, and the breakfast (buffet style) was very good. The hotel is very close to the train station and only a short walk to the ferry terminal, so this is a good place to stay if travelling by rail. It is also near a public car park so a very convenient place to stay and not too expensive.

Fairly decent hotel for the price paid. Carpets need cleaning in places and the windows only open a couple of inches so not good in hot weather. Convenient as very close to the train station and not too far from the Scillonian ferry. Room 19 had a poor quality shower and we couldn’t get a table for an evening meal (we arrived before 8 pm) - the man at reception wasn’t very courteous - didn’t even say sorry we are fully booked. The curry house next door was excellent. There’s no lift so carrying heavy suitcases is difficult for older people. Some of the staff were very friendly but we probably won’t stay there again.
