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.

Firstly, Ryan and his team are really great, a huge asset to the hotel: very friendly and professional. Location was close to all travel services with plenty of chargeable car parking close by. Great menu, reasonably prices especially for Golden Years customers.

The ensuite to our bedroom was very small but acceptable. The room itself needed tlc. However, I requested a room with a shower on the second floor rather than third floor because of mobility problems.

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.

The location, right by the train and bus station. The staff were delightful, so accommodating, they kept my luggage before check in and after checking out, I ordered food to take to my room. The food is good and plentiful, I had a cheeseboard that ticked all the boxes. The beds were comfy , the room clean and warm. I'd definitely stay again.

There was nothing I didn't like

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

Meals had to be booked in advance but were very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our rooms were very clean. The inn was in a great location next to the railway station and bus station.

One bedside table was missing and we had to use the one chair as a nightstand. Coffee was not available at 9pm. The machine was closed down by then. Not enough soap and shampoo. We had to ask for more.
