Great stay at the YHA in Penzance! It's a lovely, well run hostel in a beautiful, quiet, location just 15 mins walk from the town and seafront and 5 mins walk to bus the stop. It's also near to St Michael's Mount. The facilities were excellent, with a large, well equipped self catering kitchen and dining room. It also has a café/bar/restaurant and a comfortable tv lounge with plenty of chairs and sofas. There were plenty of individual shower rooms and separate loos, including an accessible bathroom downstairs. The staff were really nice and helpful, and the place is kept really clean. It was nice to meet people from different countries. I would defo stay again!

The property offered a lot of opportunities to explore by staff offering the most amazing advice and guide maps. on top of being knowledgeable of the area, they were super polite and professional! The rooms suited our group of 12 perfectly and offered lots of privacy even tho it was shared facilities there was a self catering facilities as well as catered facilities allowing us to do as we please for food choice the lounge was nice and cozy, offering us a communal space to hang out the hostel is very nearby to both train station and supermarkets, petrol stations etc
there aren’t any laundry facilities, and we had travelled in on quite the wet day, so places to dry our clothes would have been nice - our only option was to use the 1 radiator per room when it comes to cooling the room down, the windows open to a certain degree but due to restrictors, they don’t go a great deal

Good location, very clean. Good facilities, lounge, dining room, lots of toilets & showers
Breakfast: wasn’t expensive but wasn’t cheap. Three things make a good breakfast, eggs, sausages & bacon. Disappointed no fried eggs just scrambled, not come across that before. Sausages & bacon weird, served by the lady behind the counter but both items were on separate dishes but separated into two distinct piles, cremated bacon & normal bacon, was served the cremated. No idea why the sausages were separated into two piles but for my taste anaemic, I prefer crispier. I am puzzled as I was the first to eat at 07:30 when it opened, if it was freshly cooked why were they presented that way & cooked differently 🤷🏻♂️. So equals an average breakfast.

A£s ever with YHA the staff are fabulous, helpful and friendly. Pleasantly surprised to have a single room with nearby shower and toilet. Goof location just up and out of town, well within walking distance. Able to cook and use the food I brought in the well appointed kitchen and dining room. Value for money is ridiculously good. A great overnight stay. On a final not I left a phone cable and pug behind which the manager sought out for me to collect later. great service!
Nothing, this YHA is spot on good.

My second experience of YH and this property is clearly a little older than the first hostel I stayed in. It’s a large old house with stairs up to bedrooms and down to the basement self catering kitchen and dining room. The catered kit And bar is on the entry level and I think there are bedrooms on this floor too. The room was a 6 bed dorm and I got to share with two wonderfully inspiring women on their travels. this time the bathroom and toilets were separate to the room, along the corridor. I actually felt this was more private than having them included in your shared room. This hostel is in beautiful grounds and is an easy, 15-20 walk of the town and station ( downhill)
The staff were older and not as overtly welcoming and friendly as the younger staff in the previous hostel. A green light (? Smoke alarm or security lighting) shone all night in the room which was distracting to someone who prefers absolute dark.

I had the best holiday in England Devon County with Plymouth and Torquay as the only cities i visited, but what cities? Amazing! Penzance and Lands End in Cornwall, very small city with clean fresh sea air from the big blue Ocean in the Atlantic Sea. The small town of Penzance was amazing with the Pirate Inn as my favorite pub eventhough they kicked me out because of callers, it was still an incredible experience to explore. And the hostel YHA in Penzance absolutely amazing 10 times better than any hostel in London. You could buy a very good beer and the breakfast was plenty full with juice coffee and tea. Youghurt toastbread with butter and strawberry marmelade. Lands End was so stunning to see. Plymouth was so much fun and cozy and i had a good night sleep in Admiral Mcbride hotel. Many Pirates have been to this part of the world it was like Captain Hook and his crew was there. It was like coming from a very dark room (Denmark) into the bright light side(England Southwest).
there was no bus going up there to The YHA.

I stayed for 1 night on the 17/09/2023 after a 14 hour motorbike ride. On arrival i was greated by Joanne, one of the most charming, pretty, helpful and warm persons I have met in a long time. She explained everything about the room and services to me perfectly. She is an absolute credit to the YHA and if she is not a paid member of staff, you need to hire her immediately. Then give her a pay rise immediately. She is fantastic and just what people want when booking in. The room was small but adequate for what I needed (sleep). Mattress was firm and comfortable. As where the pillows. All the electrics worked and the lights worked. Room was warm even without the radiator on. The room was clean. The bedding and sheets/pillows were clean. The building is beautiful. Fantastic facilities. Option for a full cooked breakfast on the ground floor. Set in beautiful surroundings. Nice and quiet at night. My room overlooked the front of the building where people come and go but I still slept with the window open as it was quiet and, other guests where very respectful of each other.
For the price of the room and the wonderful service and pleasantness of Joanne, there was nothing to complain about.

Loved the Mongolian gers, the futons, white cotton linen and twinkle lights around the tent. Also loved that we were given a pack of fire wood to keep us warm at night. Loved that full English breakfast was available at the canteen with alternative milk options. Staff was great at recommending where to get Cornish Pasties! Generally speaking, for a YHA experience that I wanted my two boys to experience, and for the price we paid, we couldn't ask for more!
-My son said he could hear the cars on the road at night. - toilet flush was a little hit and miss - toilets were a little cramped when there were 4 people or more.

We stayed in the bell tents and they were amazing. So clean and comfortable with a small log burner inside for warmth. There is a light and a USB charger inside the tent which was all unexpected. There is a designated BBQ area which we used (local Co-op sells disposable bbqs and tools pretty cheap). Location is great, plenty of parking and really cannot fault the facilities.
The only one downside was that there was a school of 40 children booked in for breakfast right in the middle of breakfast serving time. To be fair, the gent on reception did warn us so we dodged breakfast even though we would have liked to have it. I think perhaps on a day with a group of that size taking up the breakfast area maybe they should be the last serving of the breakfast session.

An out of town mansion, converted into a hostel. The receptionist was YHA standard, i.e. polite, helpful, knowledgeable and intelligent. This hostel serves brekky, dinner and has a bar service! I arrived with heat exhaustion and left relaxed and happy.
Lights on in corridors and a glowing thing on the ceiling in the room. I quite like total darkness during the night. Maybe you could arrange a 'dark wing'?
