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.

The property was at the end of the city it seemed, so the walk from the train station was a bit much with luggage. The room was fine. Updated bathroom/shower were nice. The biggest issue was the fact there wasn't an outlet by the bed. I had to get on my knees to recharge my phone because the only two outlets i could find were just above the baseboards behind the dresser. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

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.

Bedroom looked out onto a side street but there was still a good view of the sea from there. Bed was comfortable - very hot though - although I did stay during a very hot week! Bedroom was clean & tidy and included an ensuite bath and shower. Unsure how to turn on light attached to the wall by the telly (could not find mains or light switch) and one of the bedside lamps was not working. This were my only issues though. Staff were really friendly, kind & professional. They agreed to look after my luggage prior to check-in - really appreciated this as was traveling by public transport and it can be hard lugging it around everywhere. They even topped up my water bottle before I left. Had Eggs Florentine for breakfast which was cooked to perfection and was delicious! There were a range of hot breakfasts available along with cereals, toast, fruit salad, teas, coffee, fruit juice, etc.

V enjoyable stay. Had booked the Abbey Sands to find when we arrived there it was closed,, with a note on the door to go to the Grand. It wasn’t clearly stated in messages that we had been moved there. The lobby and bistro area of the hotel were attractive & food in the Bistro tasty & promptly served. Had breakfast there one morning & had it served to our table. Much better than in the breakfast room which was self service. The room was nice overlooking the car park. Enjoyed a swim in the pool ( old fashioned ) No Sauna or jacuzzi.

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.
