Very handy for railway station, clean, tidy, well run.
Single room was so small you had to stand in the bedroom in order to use the washbasin in the en suite bathroom - this is taking the term 'en suite' rather too literally.

Whiteways Guest House, Penzance - Reviews & Ratings"Poor" (107171939)
The only good point was the breakfast.
Rooms were far too small, dirty and decorated poorly, there was no parking facilities. The hotel was simply inadequate and I wouled not stay there again.

Whiteways Guest House, Penzance - Reviews & Ratings"The landlady did say at one point that they were new to the business, which may explain the general air of amateurish incompetence, but it doesn't explain why they haven't done anything to put it right. I might expect some of these faults at the end of the season when the hotel has been in continual use for four months, but not at the beginning of June." (97152114)
I'm struggling to find any. There was a ceiling fan which worked well.
The room was extremely small; lightbulb broken; threshold to shower a trip hazard; bed mattress lumpy; window didn't open; storage for clothes inadequate; anything above waist height was dusty and cobwebby; the towels were small and grey and thin. In the other parts of the 'hotel' that I saw, carpets and furnishings were dirty and in need of renewal; there were cats cradles of trailing wires from overloaded electric points; there was a terrible smell of burning while breakfast was prepared although the food itself was ample and quite edible, if greasy; the 'butter' had been scraped into its pot and decorated with a fork; there was an ant in the sugar bowl and when I went to change it with a bowl from another table it was perfectly obvious that all of them had been filled several days before and added to over time without washing - do you want me to go on?

Whiteways Guest House, Penzance - Reviews & Ratings"Good for location but not much else." (108071624)
Very close to the train station
In need of some TLC and someone with some DIY skills. Generally run down. Confusion over twin and double rooms. GUESTS MUST STATE WHAT THEY WANT THE ROOM MADE UP AS! Nasty cat on the landing at night! Dirty towels in the morning

Whiteways Guest House, Penzance - Reviews & Ratings"zeer matig" (107819010)
Zeer sterke frituurlucht in het hele pand en kamer vanwege de belendende eettent van de eigenaar. Haastige ontvangst vanwege gewenste aanwezigheid van de eigenaar in de eettent.Uitzicht op een blinde muur. Alhoewel schone kamer, als geheel smoezelig en bedompt aandoend geheel.Sanitair zeer marginaal: Veel te kleine douche en niet bruikbaar/functioneel formaat wastafel.
