Location is amazing right at the seafront, and you just can't beat that. Reception staff was helpful (allowed me to check in 1h earlier). Breakfast was delicious, promptly served and the dining room staff was(especially the lady with the long black hair, missed her name). It's definitely worth the stay.

Not for everyone, but a timeless treasure

This old hotel is delightful in its historical ambiance. The staff was wonderful. However, the whole place needs paint, carpet and a thorough cleaning. My room had dirt clumps on the carpet and pieces of plastic (as would come on a straw.) The whole wing smelled musty and dank. If you can handle the creepy, dirty carpets and dust, it’s an experience.

PZ Lit Fest Stay

A bed for the night for attendance at Penzance Lit Fest on two consec. days. The only thing I would say: an earlier check-in time - say 15:00 rather than 16:00 hrs - would have been helpful. eg Prem Inns are 15:00 but then again Queens had a better rate.

The communal areas were fine with good virews of the prom but some parts of the hotel were really rundown …which was where our stay was. The way the room was advertised I was expecting a sea view but unfortunately we had a lovely view of the car park and fire escape…right on the top floor ..room was also quite small.

Queens Hotel is unassuming from the outside - but once inside you're stepping back in time....it is spacious and charming with lots of amazing history and culture captured in the wonderful pieces on display that take you back,there is even a piano in the lobby. At one point on entry to the narrow lift, I thought I was in the movie 'the Shining' lol but that's just my sense of humour. There are super tall ceilings in the rooms with large windows. I had a great sense of freedom allowing me to completely relax. The room temprature was perfect no matter the weater outside. The Bathromm was spacious with hot water at any time of day and a sense of the super natural with a flikering light letting me know someone 'was' there - but remember I was in the Shining movie mode ;-) My seaview was breath taking the coastal view of Newly and Penrith held me captive for days. The food is delicious breakfast choices in abaundace if i had to gripe about anything it would be limited options of non alcohlic drink but really it didnt matter a nice to have but not the end of the world. The staff are warm professional good hardworking people who seem to be multi-tasking in their roles but friendly too. I was treated well what more can I say except - highly recommended and book a seaview otherwise there is no point!
