Staff were so nice and friendly ( helpful) breakfast very good
One night stay for a flying visit. Rooms are quite tired but perfectly functional.
Bar was really nice and they were showing the football. Really nice atmosphere in there, lots of holiday makers and food looked good.
Breakfast was awesome. Didn't need to eat the rest of the day!
A two minute walk to the station.
Conveniently situated next to the harbour so a good overnight stop if you are at catching the ferry to the Scillies. Very friendly staff and a good pub restaurant. The room was fairly small but comfortable and very clean. Overall I good value

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very convenient for station and shuttle bus to Lands End airport. We stayed one night before a holiday in the Scillies.
Had an evening meal & breakfast - both good and v friendly service
This was a very nice three day stay at the Longboat in Penzance. Very clean, very friendly place, and very secure. The breakfast offered is more than plentiful, and the service quite good.
Very traditional old English inn. Small cosy rooms, no air conditioning, no elevators , very friendly service. Breakfast is included and a great breakfast - close to train and bus station. City shops close by 6pm
Would stay there next time again
Staff were very attentive and helpful even though we only had a flying visit.

Easy access, very clean and fine room. We arrived at around 9.30pm, and went straight to bed. There is a little sofa area with a lovely view should you want to stay up and not be in the pub. Good for small children also. We had breakfast in the morning which was also fine and made our way.
Great location next to trains, and a fantastic pub/hotel with a very welcoming & friendly vibe. I wasn't expecting breakfast so this was a bonus to me! That said, rather pricey and not too good at being environmentally minded (single use plastics for soap and tiny bottles for example).
We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the train station for our trip back to London. Price was very reasonable, room was comfortable and quiet, meals were very good, staff were attentive
