YHA Penzance Reviews

The building and the garden are very pretty. The rooms are big with lockers but there are only two showers per floor, which is not enough. Nice and modern showers. Very helpful staff. Location is nice, not very close to the town center though (35 minutes walk), so you cannot bring a big suitcase if you come from the train station. Kitchen smells a bit but is very well equiped.

:) staff s really kind and helpful. maybe the hostel s so far from the square but it s really nice place to stay. Calm,silent

Excellent facilities, friendly and helpful staff, very good value for money. Highly recommended.

A little bit far from Penzance center. But very nice YHA with a very sympatic staff.

J'ai passé un séjour très agréable dans cette auberge.Géographiquement très bien placée, cela m'a permis de découvrir de magnifiques endroits de la Cornouaille. L'auberge est propre, bien entretenue et le personnel est accueillant. La nourriture y est bonne également. Toutes les conditions sont donc réunies pour des vacances réussies.

Large, well-equipped kitchen, friendly staff (with good suggestions for walking trails), lovely location (bit of a walk from the train station if you don't have a car).

Awesome facilities and comfortable beds. Super friendly staff- very helpful. Only (minor) problem, it's a bit of a walk from the train station :o)

Too far to the city center

Friendly and helpful staff, comfy bed and great breakfast - looking forward to staying again!

Nice hostel, quite far away from the city centre, but well walking distance. Beautiful place to stay and ideal base for travelling and exploring Land's End and West Cornwall. Staff was really friendly and helpful, facilities and rooms were great. I really enjoyed to stay there!

Souless place really. Staff put the hard sell on you when you arrive. To borrow a towel cost £2 and other charges for anything extra you wanted. At 10am on new years day when everyone was waking up all of the toilets and showers had signs on them saying closed for cleaning til 12pm. Why shut the toilets and showers at peak time for 2 hours?? Also the electronic cards to access the rooms were always failing, meaning many trips to reception to get back in the room.

The hostel is a beautiful property, but we got there in the evening with some help from the bus driver. It was hard to see where to go in the dark. We obviously made it, but should have had a flashlight with us. We had a great breakfast and enjoyed the evening in the lounge area. We also made use of the washing machine and dryer available.

Great location, great place. Fantastic staff. Will def make this a regular holiday location.
