    I recently stayed at a hostel in Penzance and had a fantastic experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed to cook my meals and the option of an in-house restaurant was convenient. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The hostel had plenty of parking spaces, which was a great bonus. The cleanliness of the hostel was top-notch and it offered excellent value for the money. My kids even said it was nicer than a Premier Inn! I would highly recommend this hostel.

    the shared bathrooms were actually private rooms with lockable doors, which provided a sense of privacy and security. the dormitory room was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate my luggage without blocking access. Each bed had a socket, small shelf, and reading light, which was very convenient. the showers were clean and functional, and the location of the hostel was nicely out of the way. They also provided a map of the local area with a marked route into town, which was helpful for exploring. Cons: Nothing all good! 😊.

    It is not far from the airport. Polgoon vineyard and other tourist destinations were at a small distance. We greatly enjoyed Yha Penzance. Room met expectations.

    I had such a lovely stay at this hotel! First, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, offering great advice on places to visit in the forested area around the hotel. Second, the rooms were comfortable with lower bunks and a warm duvet, plus some even had a TV which was a nice bonus! Third, the value for money was impressive, especially considering the breakfast that was offered each morning. this hotel paid great attention to detail and provided basic amenities that made for a wonderful stay.

    All was okay, no complaints!

    I recently had a fantastic mini break at a hostel on the edge of town in Penzance. the location was great, just off the bypass in the woods, providing a peaceful atmosphere. the shared 8 bedded dorm was very comfortable, with cozy bunk bed mattresses. the bathrooms were clean and the showers were adequate. the communal kitchen was well-equipped with utensils and fridges. the lounge area was spacious and had comfortable seating. the facilities were excellent and I would definitely come back.

    The Wi-Fi was only available in the social areas, which was a minor inconvenience.

    The hostel is located away from the town center down a fairly steep hill, but it's perfect if you want to stay away from local wildlife and enjoy a peaceful environment. the bathrooms were immaculate, and the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. the self-catering kitchen had all the facilities you would need, and the breakfast service was excellent with a good range of options.

    The rooms were quite small with limited space to store belongings.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming hotel on the outskirts of a beautiful forest. The attention to detail and warm atmosphere made me feel like I was staying in a cozy mansion. The staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring my every need was met. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with good warm duvets and the added convenience of nearby bathrooms. I particularly appreciated the lower bunks, making it easier for me to access my bed. The breakfast offered was delicious and filling, setting me up for a day of exploring.

    All was great, truly no complaints.

    Great Value and Beautiful Surroundings

    I recently stayed at this hostel in Penzance and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The facilities were in good condition and great value for the price. The location was nicely situated in a quiet area surrounded by beautiful nature landscapes. An added bonus was the easy access to nearby hiking trails and local attractions. I was more than satisfied with my stay and the friendly staff made my experience even better.

    One of the downsides of this hostel was the limited space in the communal areas, making it slightly cramped at times. The dining area was in the basement which lacked natural light and socializing opportunities.
