The position in the middle of Penzance and the hotel's interesting association with Horatio Nelson. Opposite it's entrance is an amazing Egyptian facade.

Glad we got tickets for the Minack Theatre and explored the Gobal Telecommunications Museum, took the Coaster bus several tiimes, including to Land's End and walked the Coastal path to Sennen. Enjoyed the Penlee art gallery, especially in the midst of reading "Summer in February." Enjoyed a meal at the oldest pub, and at the Longboat Inn. The staff at the Info Centre were the best - gave us so many tips and set us on the right buses.

i like walking on the promenade, along to Newlyn, took the Mounts Bay coast path to Marazion, took the bus to Trengwainton gardens- lovely to see the magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias - interesting walks round the gardens and a lovely cafe with friendly staff and good food.
Visited Trewidden gardens by bus and also took the train to St. Ives- a lovely scenic run along the coast.
Penzance town has a nice selection of shops and it is worth exploring the back streets and the area round Chapel street. On previous visits have been to the Morrab gardens and other parks. Penzance is easy to walk round, has a good bus service and the tourist information staff are very knowledgable and helpful.

Went in the end of February, it was a quiet time with everything closing by 10pm, and last buses leaving early, but it's just as lovely if not more so as any other time of the year could be. Even for hiking, if you get ready for the wind, the rain, the fog, the mud and the cold.

We came in February so not very busy.
We came in February so not very busy. Many places to walk around, lovely garden in the center of town. Great beach, St Michael's Mount very close by. St Ives also not far away. Great place as a bae to see Cornwall.
Went as a family of 7 for one night. It was perfect for us in Penzance. Room was plenty big enough for all of us - 3 bunk beds and enough space to set up our portable crib. Toilet and shower was outside of the room, but was convenient and clean. Also got the full English breakfast which was fresh cooked and we thought was a good value as well.
Kids always love the bunk bed experience. Wife loved the setting of the hotel. I loved the value. Would definitely return.
We stayed at the Mount View Hotel for one night to visit Penzance. The Hotel is very close to Penzance: 7 minutes by car, or you can take the bus from the bus stop by the road in front of it. The room was with twin beds and a bathroom shared with another room. Both the room and the bathroom were clean and very comfortable. The beds were perfect for a relaxing night. Breakfast is served downstairs, both cooked (full English breakfast) or cold (cereals, juice).
The hotel was in a great location in a quiet road on the edge of Penzance, an easy walk into town or down to the promenade. The room was comfortable with everything we needed - maybe a little small. The ensuite shower room was good and the breakfast choices great - everything thing including cereal, fruit, yoghurt and a cooked breakfast as well. The owner had lots of very useful tips about places to visit, where best to park and places to eat tin the evening.
Had to wait outside for 1 hour to get the access code. Beds where two singles not a double. Wifi code did not work and did not receive reply about the new code. For 140£ it was a rip off but i had no where else to go. Stayed at the Queens hotel for 100£ the next night which was considerably better. This is the only bad review i have ever given. I tend to do more research y'know? Just being Honest.. Hope the owner sorts it out..
The location was great - very easy to get to any places within Penzance. There were lots of tasty restaurants nearby as well, shops and art galleries too. The full English breakfast was absolutely delicious! The room was warm and the spacious. I also loved the antique decorations around the hotel, very nice touch. Moderately quiet location, although admittedly we stayed during week days, not sure how it is on weekends.
A very nice older building with well appointed rooms. Very close to the waterfront and great walks back to Penzance and Newlyn, where there were some great seafood restaurants. Close to St Michaels Mount, just remember to check the weather as you may have a bumpy boat ride in front of you. The hotel is easy to access and while parking is in the street, there is no problems finding a spot near by.
Shocked and horrified to be told the day before we were to travel that the Queens Hotel's resaurant was closed. If we had known we would have gone elsewhere. As my husband is disabled and other local restaurants were closed this caused us the greatest upset and inconvenience. The point of our short break was to be served good hot food in pleasant surroundings.
The hotel has a great location and all the staff are friendly. I don’t usually sleep very well away when I’m away from home, but I have a lovey sleep here. I love looking at all the antique furniture dotted around and the hotel it is airy, with lots of space. I also like eating my evening meal and breakfast with the beautiful sea view.
Simply perfect in all respects and that’s coming from a couple of rather picky customers. If you are looking for a room of boutique hotel standard in a perfect location in Penzance without paying a silly price look no further. Ali was wonderful and so helpful to accommodate a last minute change of plan due to family illness.
The people who work there are kind and considerate, many thanks to them. I liked the Cornwall design. For the dinner, we sat at a table with a great view on the harbor and the blue sea and palm trees. The hotel is very close to a large public parking that is not expensive. It is also quite close to the Scillonian ferry port.
Excellent choice of breakfasts including cooked to order. Personable, helpful owners made us feel welcome! Good location for us to walk from train and around Penzance, and not uphill! Liked the bottled milk in tiny fridge for tea and coffee, and the books to read.
The location of the hotel was good for exploring Penzance on foot. Parking is limited but we were able to park four motorcyles outside the hotel. Both rooms were quiet and the breakfast was good.
great location, easy walk to Penzance train station, very clean, great light breakfast, great washroom, very quiet, close to a lovely pub, Wi-Fi was excellent
We were taking the ferry to the Scilly isles. The hotel is two minutes walk from the terminal so couldn't be in a better position. The break fast is lovely.
