Stayed at Hotel over the New Year's Holiday. Service was excellent. The food at the Bay Restaurant was beyond expectations. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an escape to a charming Cornwall hotel with great staff. more

We landed at Heathrow after a direct flight from Australia and received a very warm welcome. My only real complaint was the climb up to my room, but once there, the view from the window was certainly worth the effort. We were booked into a dinner, bed and breakfast package and so ate in the restaurant on both nights of... more

We always stay here coming to & from the Scillys. We always book dinner in the lovely dining room, which over looks the bay. Shortly before departure from home, we had a phone call from the hotel ... telling us that as they had booked a party into the dining room, we had been moved to a smaller side room... more

We Never 'Dump' out guests. If we have any kind of a problem which may affect the quality of our service, guests are always pre-advised and offered upgraded alternatives. Having a full restaurant on this particular evening, all B&B residents were courteously contacted and advised a week prior to arrival and offered - with apologies- 3 alternatives. To be booked...

Found this Hotel on the website, they have any easy to use online reservations system. When we arrived at the Hotel we were welcomed by Debbie on reception she informed us of the complimentary afternoon tea served each afternoon of our stay and showed us to our room on the first floor. No lift so be prepared to carry your... more

Elegant, pricey, classy, and clean, the Penzance Hotel questions value. We all have our price/comfort standards, and the final judgment is about value, not price. From the website, you would get the sense that Penzance Hotel was on the waterfront, but it’s not, really, it’s in a neighborhood, with more views of roofs than sea. With an excellent dinner and... more

Stayed here for 2 nights in Feb. No idea how this hotel could have won Cornwall hotel of the year 2006 with a Gold Award. The hotel is squeezed onto the hill above Penzance bay and the railway station. There is a small steep car park with wall to wall cars in all the adjoining streets – even in Feb.... more

Stayed here after a local business meeting. My customer had recommended the Hotel, but said the restaurant was quite pricey and they used it for special occasions. Initial impression was one of friendliness, the receptionist was extremely helpful and happy - which makes a change! Room was reasonable, probably needs updating a little, but very clean. Bathroom had a great... more

The hotel was clean and staff helpful and friendly, the bedroom has a modern airy feel, with a beautiful view over bay. It was the detail that let it down, cobwebs in bathroom, waste operating handle on basin inaccessable, and mould around the ventilating atrium, the handcream was over the bath whilst the shampoo sited next to the basin. The... more

We stayed at Mount Prospect as a last minute thing - we had a mix up with our trip dates and the Penzance tourist board recommended the hotel. The hotel is very sweet and homely and our room was comfortable with nice touches. We were surprised to encounter the restaurant for breakfast the following morning - very modern and minimal... more

My partner and I both enjoyed our 2 night break here. The sea views, including some with views of the Mount, are gorgeous. Staff were pleasant, the furnishings were tasteful and the environment really made us feel like it was a home away from home. Also would highly recommend the Bay restaurant. Everything we had was top-notch. more
