What guests think

The Lugger Inn earns frequent praise for its seafront location and views, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms, while recurring drawbacks include dated decor, compact bathrooms with low water pressure, limited on-site parking, and occasional noise from bar or traffic.

Many guests enjoyed the breakfast and on-site pub meals, though a few found the food greasy or average. The building has no lift, and guests occasionally note maintenance niggles around fixtures or equipment. Its promenade setting and transport access make it a practical base for coastal trips. Expect a friendly, well-located stay with simple comforts and a few trade-offs.

Please avoid, very poor experience. Our shower did not work and particular staff were rude, rolling eyes at guests, seemed to have guests who were their friends and were rude to others. The noise was unbearable, there was music and a DJ playing that you could hear all the way down the promenade and in our room which was above the noise, it was the only thing you could hear. We were not informed that this would be the case by staff. We made the decision to check out a day early as we were unable to relax. Very upsetting experience and unless you are a big pub goer I would avoid at all costs.

Nice location, clean but basic room, shower wasn't very good, could do with an update. Good food evening meals available. Breakfast ok but don't start until 8am, if working then be aware. Parking could be tricky, sea front currently free but not many spaces. All staff seem friendly. Walls are pretty thin and layout is quirky

The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable, although the toilet/shower was very "compact". A person larger than myself may've struggled in here. It is in a good location on the promenade, close to the Jubilee outdoor pool and only 15-20 walk to town or the rail/bus station. There is a bus stop close by. It's a lovely walk along the promenade, offering good views of St. Michael's Mount. The breakfast was ok. Not the best I've ever had but a long way from being the worst. Would I stay here again? For sure.

Hotel was in a nice location. On the sea front, however the room was warm no Air Conditioning or fan provided seagulls were nesting opposite so they were quite noisy so during the day could have the windows open but at night was loud. Building work was being done which we weren’t aware of drilling at 8am outside our room. Breakfast caters for older guests and varies day to day. First day only orange juice on offer but rest of the week apple juice was on offer. In terms of food breakfast items was things like prunes and grapefruit with natural yoghurt. Cooked breakfast consists of sausages left to go hard under the heat lamps, bacon going the same way, also toast isn’t cooked to order or able to cook yourself it is made and left under the heat lamp too. Bed war uncomfortable lumpy and mine had a sharp bit in it that really hurt me when getting into the bed. Double is just two singles pushed together. Room was dated with chunks of paint missing and mould growing in the corner of the room, half of the room lights didn’t work only the bathroom light and the light above the bed worked even then there was two above the bed and only one of them worked. Don’t think rooms are checked very often for if stuff is working. Also rooms have kettle but no way of filling it up as the sink is so tiny.

Property is right on the main road passing through Penzance, so if you have a room with a view of the sea, then you also get the traffic and noise, plus if you are on the the 1st floor you get people at the outside pub seating area being able to look right into your room. Other than that it is a convenient place to stay and have access to the old part of Penzance.

The dining room was adequate but had seen better days. However the staff were helpful and did their best. For the price I paid, I suppose I couldn't expect anything better.
