Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.

Hotel is literally being demolished before your very eyes - hopefully it will come out stronger without leaks, slanted floorways, and better windows. The rooms themselves are extremely small and not super clean. The walls are coming undone with fiberglass showing and it's just a troubling sight. Breakfast was good and staff are doing their best given the condition of the structure.

The hotel is undergoing a major renovation at the time of my visit which must be very challenging at times to provide the best customer service but I felt they are doing a grand job. The staff were very pleasant and the workmen were extremely polite and apologetic if they were in my way going up and down the stairs. My room was clean and I was able to relax in a very comfortable bed after having a lovely hot bath. Tea and coffee provided. So look beyond the inital viewing of the hotel and concentrate on the more personal things. A good hearty breakfast the following morning saw me start my day off well.

Great central location. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is good. However the cleanliness of this place is poor my room was not properly cleaned after the previous guest. There was man body hair allover the bedsheets, towels, toilet seat, shower, sink and on the floor. There are toothpaste stains on the sink, bathroom floor not properly sweeped. Towels did not look clean and didn't smell fresh. I asked for new towels and bedsheets. The new face towel smelled so bad that the smell was stuck on my face and I had to wash it again. My room was in 4th floor so the water pressure was very low if someone else is taking shower in the other rooms, you'll have to take a shower with a very weak stream of water. This place needs to improve the standards of cleanliness. It's a shame really as this place is in a perfect location and the staff are good but it has such poor cleanliness.

Property was under construction so that i understand. Customer service was good. Beds were comfortable and soft. Breakfast was also good my friend and i enjoyed it very much apart from having the same breakfast options every morning. However the shower curtain looked like a 100 years old so old and crushed. The toilets had feces particles the mirror had toothpaste residues all over it. When booking it did say housekeeping was included but that wasnt the case we get clean towel daily but sheets werent changed and room werent tidy.

Comfy visit, nice staff
Lovely hotel, great location. The hotel itself is looking a bit dated, but they seem to be doing a refurb, we had a sea view room overlooking the beach which was really relaxing to look out to in the night, with the sound of sea at night it was lush. A bit disapointing that there was not much going on in tenby on a sat night, no live bands, no singers etc. it didn’t feel like a sat..

Large room with great view
The hotel is very well positioned and the sea view was amazing. The room was a really nice size and comfortable. The Hotel is however old and there seem to be major works going on. The building is surrounded by scaffolding on two sides. We had a leak through the ceiling when raining and the bathroom needs updating. The breakfast on offer is sufficient and a great convenience. The bar on the back of the ground floor is well managed, stocked and quite popular. Overall a good stay

There is building work going on at this properry, so covered in scaffolding. The building is old and dated. The bar is closed. Lamp didnt work in teh bedroom. Shower curtain was stained and didn't fit the length of the bath. Ceiling paper was hanging off. The breakfast was awful, small potions, non-brand cereal and no fruit! Barely saw staff. The images are very misleading, Ive stayed in Tenby many times, unfortunately this is the worst ive stayed in.

TLC required
It you want a no thrills hotel this is the one, paper bloated on the walls, very dirty. One pillow as flat as a pancake. Breakfast like a spoons kid breakfast. Hash brown needed longer! Needs a complete overhaul to compete with other hotels in the town. Only good thing is the staff are kind and helpful feel sorry for them as they know the hotel needs work!
