Room 6 is a  4/5-bedded bunk room on ground floor which meets DDA Standards. There is a 68cm doorway from the entrance hallway to the bedroom which may not suit all guests.

Penzance is an excellent base for exploring the local area and is the departure point for sailings to the Isles of Scilly. The hostel is perfectly positioned for accessing some sensationally scenic walking routes nearby with excellent local and national public transport links.

When travelling as a wheelchair user, or with a wheelchair user, finding accessible holiday accommodation will be at the very top of your list.

There are several things you’ll need to look out for. While space to move around and transfer into and out of bed is vital, there’ll be all sorts of other things you’ll want to see too. Disabled holiday accommodation with wet room facilities or a roll-in shower with shower seat is a must. And then there’s accessibility around the rest of the building. Can you easily wheel into reception and to your room without help? Are the restaurant and bar or self-catering facilities on level ground? Can you reach the car park or local transport links without encountering steep hills, steps or cobbles?

While hotels and self-catering holiday cottages can be a great choice for disabled access holidays, hostels are also well worth considering.
