Lovely place, very clean & the hosts are lovely. The room was a great size with a sea view. I was travelling with my dog & by train & it’s not far from the train station. Lidl’s is about 8 mins walk up the road. I would definitely stay here again if in the area again.

Lovely place to stay. Clean, tidy and perfect location. Just wish we had been told they were no longer providing breakfast, as when we booked breakfast was included and that is why we pick certain places.

Really nice simple hotel, very convenient for the IOS ferry which is just around the corner. The staff were really nice, the room was cosy but comfortable and the breakfast was nice with a beautiful view. Parking is in short supply.

Excellent stay

Excellent location right on the seafront and within easy reach of local restaurants and the town centre. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was excellent with wide choice of foods on offer. Parking on the seafront was easy but there is also a pay and display car park nearby. When next in Penzance will stay here again.

We have stayed at the Stanley numerius timed. The owner is lovely and nothing too much trouble for her especially if you are staying over to catch an early boat or returning late from one. The rooms are pretty, comfortable and the breakfast delicious. Will be booking for next year.

Friendly place with an excellent breakfast. Very narrow, twisty stairs to top floor meant it was almost impossible to navigate with my carry-on suitcase. Not for older people who cannot manhandle their luggage! Lovely location right on the promenade. Overall good value.

The Stanley was as described on the tin, albeit we had booked our stay to include breakfast, but the establishment had discontinued breakfast two weeks before our stay, I feel short changed because we believed that breakfast had been included within the package price originally described,

The breakfast was amazing, I had a full English and a friend had fresh fruit and croissant, either is enough to last the whole day and happily served in time for us to catch the ferry to the Scilly Isles. We found our attic room very tiny with a bed so small neither of us slept well at all, definitely a room to avoid. The owner was very cheery and welcoming.

Nice but lucky alternative room available

In the end a nice stay, but only because another room was available. We'd booked a "comfort double room with sea view" but it was a tiny attic and unsuitable for even a 5ft 8 and 5ft 7 couple. Should be advertised as an attic room.

Quirky room that was clean but awkward to use. I couldn't stand up straight to shave! Sloping ceiling over bed. Expensive for one night without breakfast.
