Hostels in Cornwall, Vereinigtes Königreich

We arrived early and was tod that they would make every effort to get our room ready early. We after a very long drive from the midlands sat out on the external balcony and enjoyed a nice drink. The staff during our stay were first class and both courteous and friendly making us feel very much at home. The room was spacious and very clean with a large king size bed, coffee and tea including a Nespresso machine with pods. The bathroom was good with an excellent shower and quality towels. Parking was no problem and included overflow parking next to a really nice beer garden. The food in the restaurant was well cooked and portions ample to generous made all the better by the great service from all the staff. Location was perfect for all of Cornwall and the station nearby allowed easy travel to Penzance, St Ives, Falmouth and even Plymouth plus more. Would we go again, absolutely!

Shocking! Totally unprofessional Where do I start? Right from the debacle of our check-in, to the manager knocking on our door at 8pm, the stay was comical and not in a good way! On arrival our booking couldn’t be found, apparently our fault; we paid for the night upfront and told we could pay for the other night the next day. Once in the room we were stunned at the dilapidated state of the room! At £125 p/night anyone would expect better! We tried to pull the curtain but the rod was not even on the support and the curtain was hanging down and out of its hooks! After climbing up to fix it (so we could pull the curtain’s at night to sleep), we noticed the tie backs for the curtain were very loose on the wall and knobs falling off! At this point we didn’t want to touch anything incase it broke and we got the blame it! We politely told the staff about the damage in the room for 2 reasons, 1 to be courteous to let them know (and to fix it) and 2 it is not a good look to pay for a broken room! Breakfast was nice and the young lady running around on her own was brilliant! After breakfast we left and had a nice day out. We got back to see our room had not been looked at to fix the items mentioned. Oh well we thought, so we settled in for the night. We had a knock at the door at 8pm… It was a guy called Matt, we now know it was the manager! He explained to us that he had not managed to get into a room to look at or even fix the curtain etc. He then insinuated that it was our fault that he couldn’t get in as we had the only keys… Apparently the previous guests had taken the set of keys with them, this was our fault how? The conversation deteriorated and his customer service was in the drain. He seemed to have an excuse for everything and all but blamed us for the damage discussed. The final straw was when he said that if we didn’t like it, he wouldn’t charge us for the night, and we could check out now… It was 8pm, and we were in our pyjamas! He mentioned that we hadn’t even paid for the room for this night-we offered to pay for both nights upon arrival!! We then offered to pay in the morning -he then said no one would be there to take the payment…hmmm a hotel that has no one on their reception in the morning, very interesting. Matt, the manager, defended everything we said, and at no point, did he apologise for the inconvenience of disturbing us at this time of night, nor the lack of attending to our room, nor did he even suggest any sort of solution, in fact, he said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the room, and there was no damage! It was at this point, I pulled out my phone and showed him the photographs we had taken at the time of check-in to show the damage and prove that it was not us that did it (as he insinuated that it was)-he apparently asked his Housekeeping. Well, I don’t think I’ve ever been so insulted or spoken to as a “guest of Hotel” in a more derogatory, patronising manner. The absolute kicker is he offered us a discount…of £5!

I came for one night, but stayed for 3. My first evening I was welcomed by well travelled staff members. I arrived late so no food and drink night one. Nice hot shower in a mix 10 bed room. Bring a padlock they have lockable cages under the bed. For extra safety or just to throw your day pack in, they have electronic lockers in Reception £1.50 per day. Next day all you can eat breakfast, plenty of options £5 8-10am so I you've got a big day a head then stay a while and fill up. Reasonable price food and drinks available at the bar, deals available! The bunks all have 2 plug sockets each and also have a bedside light with plugs, USB and USB C ports. It's definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is buzzing and the guess have been just as chilled out as the staff. It's a massive thumbs up from me and I'll be back!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a beautiful room, overlooking the harbour - it was very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. We had arrived in Mousehole at lunch time, so had what we thought would be a snack lunch at the Ship Inn - the food was delicious and plentiful, to the extent that we couldn't face a full evening meal later on and just had some starters! It needs to be said, however, that several items on the menu were not available and, when we arrived for breakfast the next morning, we were told that the chef hadn't turned up and so we had cereal and toast. This was slightly disappointing but not a major issue for us and the manager did reduce our bill to compensate us, which we were happy with. To put this in perspective, we were visiting at the end of January and were, I believe, the only overnight guests. I realise that it may not be cost-effective to provide a full menu and, from other places we visited, it is apparent that staffing is a general problem - made far worse by the fact that many workers can't afford to live in the places where they work because of inflated prices due to holiday lets and second homes. Anyway, enough politics. The hotel doesn’t have its own parking but there is public parking nearby. Stepping outside in the morning to a beautiful, clear day and watching the sun rise directly in front of us was worth the price on its own.

Ich habe beschlossen, aufgrund des Preises und der Lage in The Longboat zu bleiben, und ich habe den lokalen Unternehmen viel lieber Geld als große Kette zu geben. Es ist zwei Minuten vom Bahnhof, der sich am Fuße der Hauptstraße in Penzance befindet, und in leichter Stellweite vom Hafen, Promenade, lokalen pubs, Cafés, Geschäften und den Häusern meiner Familie befindet. Das Personal war sehr willkommen, als ich aufkam und klare Anweisungen gab re das Zimmer, Schlüssel und Reservierung Frühstück. Sie lieferten auf Anfrage einen Eisen- und Eisenbrett. Sie waren auch freundlich und hilfsbereit, als ich einige Fragen (unter) aufwuchs. Ich blieb zuerst im Cape Cornwall (14), aber es gab dort einige Probleme (ein gebrochenes Sash-Fenster, das Brise ins Wasser lässt, eine leckende Dusche und ein schmutziges heißes Wassertaschen). Das Personal bot mir an, mich sofort zu bewegen, aber da ich 10 Stunden gereist war, und meine ersten zwei Tage waren mit Vorbestattungsveranstaltungen gepackt, und eine Beerdigung, hatte ich nicht die Zeit oder Energie, um sich an Tagen ein oder zwei zu bewegen. Als ich die Beerdigung hinter mir war, zog ich am dritten Tag, für die letzte Nacht, in Zimmer 18 (Lands End, vielleicht?) die viel angenehmer war und ich hatte keine Probleme. In beiden Zimmern waren die Betten und die Bettwäsche bequem, die Fernsehsender funktionierten gut, es gab viel Raum für einen Schrank, die Zimmertemperatur war gut, und alles war sauber. Es wäre schön, wenn das Hotel neben dem Tee und dem Kaffee eine Flasche noch Wasser in das Zimmer setzt, so dass Sie nicht auf die Bad-Tappe zu verlassen - ich ging und kaufte mein eigenes. Ich habe nicht gegessen, während ich hier die ganze Zeit mit der Familie verbracht habe. Ich hatte am letzten Morgen Frühstück am Sullivans Diner, was fab war. Zusammenfassend war das Longboat gut, für ein paar Nächte zu bleiben, als erschwingliche Option, und als ein Einzelreisender. Wenn ich zurückkehren und länger bleiben wollte oder irgendwo bleiben würde, das mehr als eine Behandlung fühlte, würde ich wahrscheinlich anderswo bleiben.
