YHA Penzance

Dorm rooms have multiple beds and are shared with other people who may not be travelling together. They are usually more affordable than private rooms as you'll be booking a bed rather than the whole room.

A typical shared dorm room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest.

Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.

Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. None of our dorm rooms have en-suite facilities.

Want some privacy? With a private room, you'll be booking the whole room for your stay.

Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus a wash hand basin.

Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. None of our private rooms have en-suite facilities.

Our spacious bell tents are fully kitted out with a double bed and three single futons and can sleep up to 5 people with all bedding included.

There is eco-friendly solar lighting and comfy bean bags for you to chill out on during the day, plus a coffee table and rugs. Premium bell tents also have the addition of a woodburner to keep you cosy. 

There are six premium bell tents at YHA Penzance, available to book for stays from May to September. Guests have access to a separate toilet and shower block for campers. BBQ fire pits are not available at this hostel.

Like camping but with a few added extras! Our Landpods sleep up to 4 people, on two double mattresses and a single futon mattress, which doubles up as the seating area. All bedding is included, plus 15 tog duvets and LED lighting.

Landpods don't have heating, so are more suited to the those who like a traditional camping experience. Even in the colder months, it’s nothing a couple of warm, cosy blankets can’t fix! There is a bench outside, so make the most of the great outdoors and dine al fresco.

Guests have access to a separate toilet and shower block for campers. BBQ fire pits are not available at this hostel.

Camping is sold per person and not per pitch. During the booking process, you will need to select the number of people who you wish to camp.

YHA Penzance has two camping areas suitable for tents - the first is adjacent to the hostel with toilet and shower facilities, and a wilder field is through the trees above the hostel for getting away from it all. Just a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop and 15 minutes from the centre of Penzance, this campsite is ideally placed for a family break or if you're organising a group getaway.

Guests have year-round access to a shower and toilet shack where you can freshen up after a night sleeping under the stars, plus outside washing-up sinks. During the summer months, our camping block is open with more showers and toilets.

Campers can use of all the hostel facilities including the self-catering kitchen, dining room, lounge, cafe and bar. There are picnic benches and a metal table area which is suitable for disposable BBQs. Parking is available in an adjacent car park.

Quiet time is observed in the campsite from 22:30 - 07:30. Campfires are strictly prohibited and the site is not suitable for campervans or caravans.

Wildlife spotting guides are available from reception, so see what you can find!
