Splendid place that reflects the grandeur of a past era. ' A grand old lady' in , what must be, the very best location in Penzance. Just across the road is the extra wide prom and the sea. Amazing panoramic views. The staff are delightful andextremely helpful. We're happy to stay again when in the area.

The hotel has a good location within walking distance from the station, which is very convenient. However, I found the rooms to be quite basic, and the breakfast options were limited. My room also only had a view of the back of some flats, which was a little disappointing

Bathroom black mould, cold tap wobbled. Floor was patched up and broken dirty, towel rail rusty. Bed sheets not even tucked in. Breakfast basic staff spot wiped table so we had crumbs and sticky marks, waitress put fingers in cups. One waitress has a polo shirt that looked as if not been washed for a while no aprons. Tea was tepid ran out of brown bed. Exceptional over priced. Would not return

Queens Hotel is unassuming from the outside - but once inside you're stepping back in time....it is spacious and charming with lots of amazing history and culture captured in the wonderful pieces on display that take you back,there is even a piano in the lobby. At one point on entry to the narrow lift, I thought I was in the movie 'the Shining' lol but that's just my sense of humour. There are super tall ceilings in the rooms with large windows. I had a great sense of freedom allowing me to completely relax. The room temprature was perfect no matter the weater outside. The Bathromm was spacious with hot water at any time of day and a sense of the super natural with a flikering light letting me know someone 'was' there - but remember I was in the Shining movie mode ;-) My seaview was breath taking the coastal view of Newly and Penrith held me captive for days. The food is delicious breakfast choices in abaundace if i had to gripe about anything it would be limited options of non alcohlic drink but really it didnt matter a nice to have but not the end of the world. The staff are warm professional good hardworking people who seem to be multi-tasking in their roles but friendly too. I was treated well what more can I say except - highly recommended and book a seaview otherwise there is no point!

Ordered room with bath, only a poor shower! Carpet stained wardrobe door stuck. Mentioned to reception and they said sometimes they have to move rooms around. Would tell maintenance man re door.

Not for everyone, but a timeless treasure

This old hotel is delightful in its historical ambiance. The staff was wonderful. However, the whole place needs paint, carpet and a thorough cleaning. My room had dirt clumps on the carpet and pieces of plastic (as would come on a straw.) The whole wing smelled musty and dank. If you can handle the creepy, dirty carpets and dust, it’s an experience.
