    For a town centre Inn cum pub, the locals have voted with fheid feet there were none there. We could not recommend it to anyone, the best part of it was the proximity to the ferry port. The interior and exterior needed a coat of paint and upgrade. £120 per night was a joke.

    The whole experience was underwhelming and disappointing.

    I can't think of anything negative to share at this time.

    The Yacht Inn is about a 15-minute walk from the Penzance Railway Station and a mere 10 minutes from the town center. Jubilee Pool Penzance Pool & Cafe is across Battery Road. It was quiet the 3 nights I was there. There is an armoire or closet with ample hangers. The toilet has a wall hook to hang your clothes. The shower has hot water. Enjoyed the marvelous full Cornish breakfast with coffee, juices, some fruits and bread. The staff were very friendly. Due to a railway strike; the Yacht Inn staff was able to extend my stay an extra day with minimal effort on my part.

    Lack of Off Street Parking. On entering our room one of the first things I noticed was two sets of "ear Plugs" plus a note advising that they have loud music playing on Friday & Saturday nights. We spend one night which was a Friday and we didn't get to sleep until 1.00am. If I had known this information we would never have made a booking. This should be made clear prior to the reservation being made. As we are both over 70 we found it unacceptable.

    We had been unable in gaining access to our booked rooms and had to drive home to Wales on a dark, rainy night. although you took our payment one week in advance, the hotel stated that for the past few days, Booking.com had not paid them and that we would have to pay them and re-claim it back. This is absolutely disgraceful. We had just arrived by ferry. We are all pensioners. we were tired and got home in the early hours.

    Room was directly above the bar so it was very noisy. Struggled to sleep with the noise. Walls were quite thin too as I could hear the guest in the next room snoring. Ear plugs were provided so they must be aware of this

    The hotel does warn you that in the age it was built, the walls are thin so loud conversations and doors opening/closing might not suit very light sleepers.

    Wonderful staff (Michelle, Jo, Leah and others), very interesting 1936 building, super sea views, great breakfast, well presented room, draft Bass on the bar - a real fun place to stay.

    Nothing. We were impressed with our stay.

    We loved where the Yacht Inn was on the seafront.p We were welcomed by friendly staff and we had a lovely delicious meal in the bar with some good beer and cider. The staff in the bar were happy and nothing was too much trouble. Our two family rooms were lovely and clean, the bedding and towels were fluffy and the beds really comfortable. All four adults and two children really enjoyed our stay and would certainly love to stay there again😊forgot to mention the breakfast was great too. Thank you😊
