Pros:

The hotel has many virtues. it's situation is superb. The staff are very polite and helpful, it is kept very clean and the food was reasonably good. In particular, breakfast is excellent. As has been commented on by others the fabric of the building has seen better days and is badly in need of an upgrade and modernisation. As it is family owned I guess this might be an unaffordable expence in these difficult financial times but it has the potential to be a really excellent place to stay.

Cons:

See above

An absolutely excellent seaside hotel
Pros:

I have just come back from a three night stay in Penzance, and at The Queens. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is an absolutely traditional seaside hotel, in the very best sense. The public areas are beautifully maintained, including magnificent staircases and a reading room. The glassed veranda overlooking the sea is a great place for a nightcap.
My room was very comfortable, with a great bed and good shower.
The breakfast offering, again in the dining room overlooking the sea, is possibly one of the best I have come across. Cold meats and cheese on the buffet, with high quality orange juice. The cooked breakfasts, made to order, are many and varied. I had really good kedgeree (not something I have come across recently in many hotels) and absolutely excellent eggs royale.
And, last but by no means least, the staff. All the staff I encountered, from reception to the breakfast people were so friendly and nice. A special shout out to the young man serving behind the bar in the evening who was so charming and engaging.
Well done to all. Now that I have discovered you, I look forward to returning.

The cosy, gorgeous bedroom upstairs made our stay more special.
Pros:

We were struggling to find accommodation in Penzance in the middle of town that had parking and was reasonably priced. However, moving around to the promenade, which really isn't that far from the town centre, provided everything we had hoped for. It had good onsite parking, a substantial cooked and continental breakfast included (order off the menu) with tables overlooking the promenade and sea (right on the waterfront), and charming historical decor. Our twin room on the second floor was the best surprise - it was gorgeous. It was clean, beautifully decorated, had a big bathroom, plenty of space and a gorgeous bay window overlooking the promenade and sea with views to St Michael's Mount and Newlyn. We spent the late afternoon sitting in the armchairs in front of the bay window enjoying the views. Comfy beds. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the Lugger Inn, where we had a delicious dinner. The hotel also has evening meals. The foyer is another cosy area to sit.

Cons:

There are a few stairs to navigate with suitcases but the 2 of us could manage - often found in historical buildings. There are quite a few stairs from the carpark but you could walk around to the front of the hotel to avoid them.

A must stay!
Pros:

First time in this hotel a family run business, it’s a hotel full of character and run by experienced professionals who make your stay very special, some rooms have a sea view and are very comfortable and clean, there is a lovely restaurant with sea views and a bar open 24hrs for residences. The food is excellent and the breakfast is made to order with lots of choice, the hotel is dog friendly my friends are I were very impressed with our stay the staff are so nice and helpful nothing is too much trouble I would recommend this hotel as it’s so central to the town and there is a car park at the rear with an electric charging point. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone at the Queens hotel for a fabulous stay.

Zimmer mit schöner Aussicht
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage, am Meer. Die Betten bequem. Das Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Abendessen gut und nach den Wünschen zubereitet

Cons:

Wir hatten dieses Hotel für 3 Nächte gebucht und hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick im 3..Stock. Der Lift war die ganze Zeit ausser Betrieb. Man versprach jeden Tag, dass der Lift repariert werde, was natürlich nicht passierte.
Das Zimmer wurde die ganze Zeit nicht gereinigt. Für diesen überhöhten Preis unzumutbar.

Excellent - I would stay there again
Pros:

Location was excellent with lovely sea views from the dining room
The bed was very comfortable
Staff were very pleasant and helpful
There was always a staff member on duty
The breakfast was excellent

Cons:

The lift was not working - but a staff member was available to carry my case up and down the stairs
There were quite a lot of stairs to my room - I would request a room on a lower floor next time
There was a little step up into my bathroom which was clearly marked but I kept forgetting about it and tripping
The loo paper was rough and there were no tissues provided and no little snacks in the room
Very minor inconveniences - overall everything was great

Peaceful and gracious hotel with excellent breakfast and close to amenities.
Pros:

The hotel is very genteel and traditional with a very comfy bed in the sea view room I booked. It was so peaceful as well and during the night there was just the sound of the waves lapping the shore with the rise and fall of the tide. There was a huge bath, most unusual these days (with shower incorporated into it), and tea, coffee, hot chocolate all perfect for a night's stay. The breakfast was very good with many different hot choices as well as continental style choices and cereals, and fruits, pastries. The staff were wonderful and so helpful and friendly, and especially helpful when I was there as the lift was temporarily out of action but nothing was too much trouble with carrying luggage. The foyer is beautiful with a sweeping staircase and it is a lovely, old and gracious hotel which has exceptional views over Mounts Bay (from my room) and only a few minutes walk along the seafront to the Pier for the ferry. I would definitely return if needed one day and cannot praise it highly enough.

Cons:

Everything was great.
