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!

Great view, lots of potential
Nice staff were very friendly but the buildings struggling, windows in the room were worn out , scaffolding covering the front of the hotel for renovations have been there for some time apparently and the interior is very dated. That said their was ongoing work with the building and I would come back if the work is finished and a new life is injected into the building.

A bit tired
The hotel is in a great position, right on the sea front. Tenby being a quiet, picturesque, little town. The hotel is in a poor state of repair, with scaffolding around the entire outside of the building. The inside is tired and in need of some TLC. The room was comfortable and cleaned every day, with tea/coffee making and hairdryer available. For the price paid, with breakfast included ( juice, cereals, yogurts, toast and cooked to order) it did the job for a short stay.
