Überteuert
Pros:

Das Personal war super freundlich, der Blick recht gut.

Cons:

Wir haben eine teures Zimmer für 300 Pfund pro Nacht gebucht (6 Tage gibt 1800 Pfund). Das Zimmer, das wir bekommen haben, war in einem Anbau. Es war sehr klein, einfach eingerichtet und kaum Ablageflächen, sehr ringhörig (wir haben jedes Wort der Nachbarn verstanden). In der Nacht hat man das Licht vom Gang her unter der Zimmertüre durchscheinen gesehen. Der Preis für dieses Zimmer ist eine Unverschämtheit.

Chambre magnifique dans un havre de paix
Pros:

La chambre et la vue sur l'océan étaient juste grandioses. Le jardin est fabuleux, quand on arrive, on se sent directement dans un havre de paix. Le restaurant est excellent. La piscine chauffée est très agréable. La proximité de la gare et de la station de bus est idéale. J'ai eu aussi la chance d'avoir un check in plusieurs heures plus tôt, c'est vraiment très appréciable.

Cons:

Il y avait un bruit jour et nuit, du moteur de nettoyage de la piscine, semble-t-il. Pour ceux qui sont sensibles au bruit pour dormir, c'est vraiment dommage. L'isolation phonique n'est pas très bonne, mais il s'agit d'un vieux bâtiment, on s'y attend, il y aurait juste certainement quelque chose à faire avec l'ouverture/fermeture des portes des chambres. Les rideaux à moitié décrochés mériteraient un petit nettoyage et une remise en état. Il manque une machine à café.

Pros:

Beautiful building, decor and amazing view of the harbour from the room.
Gorgeous decor and little extra touches were appreciated.
Very comfy, massive bed.

Cons:

Very slow service in the restaurant and bar at dinner. The hotel needs more staff who need proper training.
Beware the extra charge for parking if you can get a spot. Better to park in the street.

Disappointing and overpriced.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful. Nice to have chilled iced tea on arrival. Room was large and bed was comfy.

Cons:

It is all very shabby. Despite all the boasting of views and me asking specifically for a view I was given a room looking out on the carpark. The room was stuffy and noisy, I could hear guests in all surrounding rooms. Food was disappointing and the fish in the batter was so small as to be almost invisible.

We enjoyed staying in Penzance. Plenty to do locally. This hotel would be ideal if you come by car.
Pros:

Delightful and helpful staff
Spacious restaurant + good breakfast
Swimming pool

Cons:

No lift
Steep climb from main road
All in all not a good place to stay if you have mobility issues. Sister hotel on Promenade would be a better choice.
