“Clean, decent”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

Stayed two nights in April in a twin room. The room was a good size, clean, bright and airy, with large windows. Beds while on the soft side were okay, with clean sheets. Heater worked well. They had just fixed a new shower system the day we arrived and on our first night our showers alternated between scalding hot and... More

“Cheap and cheerful”

Reviewed 24 October 2012

I booked a private room, which was still far cheaper than anything else around. It was clean and comfortable, and all the bedding was clean and fresh. Sadly, the heating seemed to go off at 11pm, and I was very cold. I had to wear some extra clothes to bed to stay warm. The shared bathroom was fine, and I... More

“clean but basic rooms good for those on a budget”

Reviewed 6 July 2012

I spent just one night here en route to the Isles of Scilly in the middle of June, as it was the cheapest place in Penzance and closer to town than the youth hostel where I would normally have stayed. It is a bit of a walk from the station at around a mile (mostly uphill), but walking is free... More

“Great value, clean and good service.”

Reviewed 17 June 2012 via mobile

Stayed here for 3 nights this June. Rooms are well proportioned and very clean. Excellent value for a twin room. The bathrooms are shared as you'd expect but are also kept clean. Beds ok a little 'springy'. The price includes a self service breakfast of cereal, toast, juice and tea/coffee also. You have access to the lounge and a little... More

Hello, Thanks for your feedback. We do seem to have a problem with storage of larger items such as surf gear, however, please dont let that deter you from bringing them. We now have a large lockable room accessable by staff and visitors with large items of luggage only in which we can keep surf boards, cycles etc. I hope... More

“Good for solo travellers”

Reviewed 12 October 2011

We stayed at the hostel for 1night in August 2011. We requested for a twin room, and were informed that we could get a room for 2 but the room has all bunk beds. The beds and bedding looked clean. The mattress was very poor and old, and so were the pillows and duvets. The shared shower areas had terrible... More
