Location and excellent value.
No lift but the view from the room did compensate for this.
Refurbished rooms on the sea front are attractive, views are fabulous
Shower took a long time to warm up
Great food options.
Seaton view was exceptional!
Having to wait until 9am for breakfast!
Prices inflated because of Ironman which was a shame
Great location
Shower temperature wasn’t consistent, matters was hard (personal preference)
Location is perfect, staff really amazing.Room was fantastic. Great breakfast, really friendly chef and the bar attached was a nice bonus,would highly recommend
Wifi not the best but not an issue
Great location with a fantastic view from the room. The room was clean, and the breakfast was excellent. The chef was very friendly and welcoming.
The Wi-Fi was very weak. There was also no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom, which was quite surprising — honestly, this is the first time I’ve stayed in a hotel where these basic toiletries weren’t provided.
Room with fabulous views
I liked the relaxed homely feel of the place, staff were warm and welcoming. Loved the saxaphone player Mark who played there saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.xxx
The only issue i had was on the sunday morning they prioritised passing trade( iron man wales event was there) over guessed who did not have breakfast provided because they were making sausage and bacon roles to sell to supporters. I think they could have made sure guessed were still provided with breakfast and provided supporters with roles and drinks.
Location. Recently renovated room. Cleanliness
No wardrobe or hangers for clothes ( random hangers and only 3). No shower gel. No where to hang towels. No toilet roll paper holder. Internet working intermittently. No knob to close shower or toilet from inside. Breakfast no continental and short of choices.
Great view, Room was good but bed a little hard for me. Excellent breakfast
Bed was too hard for me
The location is the best! Clean bedrooms. Good but you need to know to ask for fruit juice at breakfast.
The bed was like bouncing around like the sea. Too soft and uneven with no support, we were slipping onto the side rail. Had to put it on the floor for support. Room could do with de-caf coffee sachets.
Excellent location and hotel facilities
Die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer ist einfach unglaublich schön! Man kann stundenlang einfach nur raus schauen! Die Sessel sind super bequem und auch das Zimmer ist gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Wir hatten hier eine wirklich tolle Zeit! Preis-Leistung ist super.
Ein paar Aufbewahrungsmöglichkeiten haben uns gefehlt: Haken für Jacken und Handtücher, sowie ein Kleiderschrank. Das Frühstück ist ein klassisches englisches Frühstück (Spiegelei, Baked Beans, Chips, Tomatensoße, Bacon, Würstchen, Pilze, Toast) Es wäre toll, wenn z.B. auch etwas Gemüse, Obst, Joghurt, Müsli, Käse, anderes Brot angeboten werden würde.
The hot breakfast was delicious!
No view from our room on the fourth floor. No lift. No parking.
Clean n tidy best view in Tenby The staff n management were second to none the breakfast was excellent
Nothing
Excellent location. Wonderful views.
Mattress needs replacing
Views from the hotel, most rooms were spacious
Property is still going through some upgrades which is apparent when walking through the hotel but nothing too serious to put customers off staying, but my particular room had no cupboard or hooks for hanging clothes
Loved the staff, location, close to a car park, breakfast was good, room was clean.
Forth floor with no lift, was hard work getting luggage up there. No view, unless you stood on the chair to look out of the window. But on the bright side we got our steps in getting to the room.
Meine Buchung wurde sehr kurzfristig storniert. Ich musste aufgrund mangelnder Zeit im Auto schlafen
Great location
Bathroom tiles could do with updating
Breakfast was good staff were excellent. But the room was dreadful no sink in bathroom it was in bedroom. Carpet 2 shades. Paper beginning to come away on ceiling. So so old fashioned looked like a room from the 60s.
As above
Great location, wonderful views, lovely and helpful staff
Good location. Breakfast was tasty and had good service. Hot shower.
We were in room 306 on top floor, at rear, so no Seaview. The room's decor was like a time warp to the 1970s/1980s. Most of the furniture looked like it was sourced from a bad second hand shop, all chipped and marked. The door to the room was black with white paint splashes, resembling a prison cell door! The bathroom had a badly marked bath and very poor grouting. The sink unit was not in the bathroom. This whole room was of very poor quality, bearing no resemblance to the rooms pictured on their website. If you think of very poor student accommodation, then this is what we endured!!
Breakfast.
Dated, not clean, bathroom bin full of sanitary pads and underwear from previous guests.
absolutely excellent - and brilliant room with a view considering the price. Room was newly-renovated too, and very modern. breakfast was excellent too.
not a complaint as such, but the communal areas were a little tired compared to the room.
No internet. Noise if traffic incredibly loud
Been there a few times. Things are worse now no lifts my wife who’s disabled had to climb stairs. The rooms are smaller.
Plenty to eat Good quality
Nothing
Lovely friendly staff. Very nice breakfast. Great location.
The bed could have been a bit more comfy. But that was the only negative.
The landord was lovely, the staff were great, it was very clean, bed was comfy, breakfast was really good .room was a great size.
The room was very tired,the landlord did tell me he was in the process of doing thr rooms up, , but to charge £120 for that room was double the price it should have been, I would go back there but hopefully when its revamped.
Location and friendly staff
No car park,but not a problem as public car park down road.
Excellent location,superb sea views, friendly staff, good food
Nothing negative to say
I think the biggest problem was no parking but you do know that Wen you book ..my problem is I have a trapped nerve and we came for a short break to cheer me up I was horrified when there was no lift plus we were on the third floor those stairs killed me ... . Can't you o.possible fit in a lhift anywhere
Having no lift like I just mentioned it killed me walking those stairs I know you will say you asked for seaview which made the walk up those stairs bit better
Amazing view on to the beach friendly staff good facilities and comfortable bed and good breakfast and cafe
Bathroom was dirty when arrived and also smeary mirror and a squeaky floor board
Owner very friendly
No lift to many stairs
Perfect location, incredibly nice staff
The room was clean, but it was desperately in need of a renovation
Everything was fine
The sausages, having said that, they weren't that bad
Excellent location; our bedroom was sea facing, so I couldn't ask for more!
The only point that I disliked was the small size of the bed.
The breakfast was ok,could have been a little hotter,but that's me,I like my food hot .
Hotter food
All staff encountered were lovely , polite, friendly and helpful. The bars onsite were very pleasant and sociable. The location was perfect over looking north beach and a minute from the bars and restaurants...
The room I was in , I was told was not yet refurbished when checking in . The room.itself seemed a bit sorry, shower was hanging on and had to hold the head to use it. However it was just a bed for the night and didn't affect my stay too much.
The location was fantastic. We had a sea view looking over the Harbour. Breakfast was good. The staff were polite. Very clean. The bar next door was good. Perfect location couldn't get any closer to everything. Definitely stay here again.
It just didn't have a lift so if you're unable to climb stairs this isn't for you. My husband struggled but they helped with our luggage which was amazing.
Fantastic view over the harbour and nice breakfast
The staff in the hotel were amazing. Really helpful and so so friendly. The location is excellent, we had a beautiful view and in such a good spot for town, the beach and all the pubs and restaurants. Breakfast each morning was fantastic and the staff were great.
No faults at all
Location
Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly and helpful. The refurbished downstairs looked airy and modern. Great location.
The room we had was a little disappointing as photos on the website showed modern and newly refurbished rooms. Our room was very old and tired and very hot. The shower was coming away slightly from the wall. We only used the smaller shower head as the larger one didn't seem to have enough pressure. I think once all rooms have been refurbished the hotel could be lovely.
Location . Hotel in Tenby is very good Location.
I didn't like a room. Building is very unlevel. Bed mattress is awful, very old and probably worned for many years . I was in pain every morning. Bathroom - shower leaking.
Short stay. Staff friendly Breakfast really good Location amazing
Top floor, lots of flights of stairs. Room could do with a little bit of updating. No plug on sink. Made it awkward for husband to shave.
Location was great. Room was clean
Mattress wasn't comfy at all. Very soft might need changing
We loved the beautiful newly renovated and stunningly decorated large comfortable seaview room. The views are incredible and the hotel is situated right above North beach and the harbour. The hotel bar and restaurant, Puxleys and the reception area is spacious and welcoming and again stunningly newly decorated. The hot full Welsh breakfast was very good. The staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. We will be returning! Thank you so much.
Nothing!
Location was great and the entrance and restaurant were clean and nicely decorated
The room.was shabby,dated ,bathroom all needed upgrading. Didnt reflect the initial impressions of the hotel and this should have reflected in the price maybe having a different rate for rooms not yet upgraded. no cold choice for breakfast
Spacious room Friendly staff Lovely breakfast Affordable food and drinks Lovely comfortable reception With window seating with a lovely view
Could do with a few more hangers for clothes we only had 3 Oat or soya milk as a cows milk alternative for tea or coffee Coat hooks on back of door for coats or bags
Location
The room was at the very top , no lifts , there was a half wall outside the window so the only view was the wall and sky
Breakfast was very good The location was great We would stay here again but definitely request a lower floor
We were on the top floor & there isn’t a lift at the hotel so there was a lot of stairs to climb Our room was in need of being updated but otherwise comfortable
Amazing location, right opposite one of Tenbys beaches & really easy to get to from The Green car park.
Only downside was no WiFi in the hotel room, worked with no issues in the lobby. (Tenby has poor signal so no phone signal/data/wifi generally)
The breakfast was adequate, but the toast and bacon I’ve been hanging around too long but otherwise okay
It would’ve been nice to have the food cooked a bit fresher I’m not left hanging about
Lovely hotel, we had family room for two which was good size and very comfortable with sea view.
Air-conditioning would be good. TV was a bit small for size of room.
Near beach
Too much work being carried out at the property which we were not told about
The fantastic location, and we had a sea view. THE VIEW !!!! Brilliant staff.
No onsite parking. We had to park the car quite a way from the hotel. A lovely room, but no wardrobe...OK for me , but not her !!!
Der Inhaber und das Personal waren extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war sehr gut.
Die Ausstattung des Zimmers war schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen, alles war sauber.
The sea views
Location amazing
The room was awful dirty terrible decor that was old and tatty Breakfast was just a dry up no other options
Very clean and cosy.
Nice rooms and pub with live music

Very comfortable homely hotel staff very helpful bedrooms are spacious beds comfortable
L’emplacement
Mauvais accueil Chambre au 4eme étage sans ascenseur sans climatisation si ce n’est un aérateur bruyant Refus de changer de chambre alors que sur votre site 3 chambres étaient disponibles, dont une avec vue sur la mer pour le même prix.( 168€ ). Petit déjeuner servi uniquement à partir de 9h. Refus de le servir plus tôt malgré notre demande car nous avions prévu des activités . Je me permets de rappeler qu’un hôtel est avant tout fait pour dormir
The hotel perfect location, loved the views just amazing
Nothing
Stayed for one night top floor room 402 very comfortable bed,had a fan which was needed has it was very hot due to heatwave tea and coffee in the room and a hair dryer breakfast was lovely .
The shower is very slow ,But it did the job no complaints really
The location was amazing!!! Staff that were serving breakfast were fantastic.
We were on the 4th floor in a room that seemed or had seen better days! Very old fashioned and not what the pictures show on booking.com. We asked to move and we were refused due to hotel being full. On check our day we had cleaners knocking on the door from 9am and continued every half an hour. The last knock was at 10:45 and the cleaner said you do realise you check out in 15 minutes to which we replied yes we are aware
Good value for money ,friendly and helpful staff. Convenient for town.
The stairs. The washbasin in the bedroom and not the bathroom was very confusing
Sea views although windows dirty
Shower tiny could have been bigger the room was there, breakfast very poor selection no cereals only full English just about edible.
The location was wonderful. Staff were very friendly especially the evening porter.
The shower was terribly disappointingly. Both the pressure and the temperature we're inadequate. Also I have severe lung problems and there were no lifts. This made accessing my third floor room very painful.
Great views, quite room. Friendly staff and great location.
Poor wifi, no real hanging space, steep access stairs, windows needed cleaning. Breakfast was one size fits all.
Local to shops clean and very welcoming friendly staff
N/a
Perfekte Lage.
Kein Fahrstuhl
the room over looked the beach and was comfortable and clean. English breakfast was excellent.
Great Location Nice staff and very helpful
The room was not very clean Dirty bed sheets and curtains Poor water pressure for the shower
The view was outstanding
Toilet seat wasn't screwed in correctly,no wardrobes or coat hangers & I've never been to a hotel that doesn't supply soap.The smallest en suite ever with the door you couldn't close.Someone else luggage was placed in our room all rather strange on the last morning.Fire door's constantly wedged open.Yes it's great it's having a refurbishment but focus on one room at a time don't rush
Location is amazing. Room was clean but bit warm and stuffy with window only opening slightly. Room was clean.
Bed very hard and uncomfortable. Room warm and stuffy with window opening slightly. Breakfast cold.
The location is top tier lovely hotel lovely staff
The bathroom the sink tap kept leaking over the side and was very outdated compared to the rest of the room
Room was lovely, but toilet seat wobbly and toilet door didn't slide smoothly
Every about our stay was great and staff lovely
Did not like anything. Our room was not up to standard
The way the hotel advertised the room. Was not anything like the pictures suggested.
Large rooms and outstanding views breakfast was also outstanding
Staff are so nice and friendly
Need to upgrade little bit toilets and old TVs
Perfect-location, Perfect-hotel, PerfectPerfect place. See you next time
Loved the renovations so far and location was amazing, with good views of the sea.
The room needed renovating. Shower leaked and was rusting. Carpet was covered in stains. The breakfast was really disappointing. Just offered a cooked breakfast (which wasn’t the best) and I did not want a greasy breakfast so didn’t eat much. Even if they offered some cereal, or fruit would make a big difference. Only was given one piece of toast by the chef, when I asked for another one as that is all I was eating, he looked at me as if I shouldn’t be asking that, like the food was rationed. Shame as the hotel has had great improvements and the location is amazing, but things like the breakfast really lets it down.
The room was small but very nicely decorated and the view from our room was amazing couldn't be better looking out over the beach and rolling sea... The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had very good quality and just helped your self to as much as you like great start to the day..And to top it all off was the themed pub joining the hotel with all it's film poster's life size models and movie memorabilia ..I loved that place.... Definitely will be returning some time very i hope soon 👍
Only negative is need more hanging space for clothes
Mjög flott staðsetning. Frábært útsýni.
Klósettið frekar þröngt, enda gamalt hús, en fallega endurnýjað.
The staff were so lovely and welcoming. You got exactly what you paid for; good breakfast, fantastic location being right on the sea front and lovely people.
There have clearly been some renovations recently, which I don’t think had quite reached our room as the bathroom was quite outdated. However, it was clean and functioning which is all we could ask for.
Location was good.
Room was the worst I have ever stayed in. The shower did not work. We were not able to bathe. The only window in the room had dried seagull shit covering it with view blocked by outside wall less than 1 meter away. The cupboard back had fallen off. The walls were cracked & wallpaper coming off. Paint was chipped on all walls. Bathroom floor had cracks in it with brown mould. Furniture was cheap & old.
Location is FAB! Best Seaview rooms! Great New furniture! Great full English breakfast! Best mushroom ever!
No shower gel, no mini fridge, not much storage space.
Location, lounge, bar, restaurant, super comfortable beds.
Slight downside is the stairs. Elderly people will have a challenge if you are on the 3rd floor.
Beautiful location, the view couldn’t be better. Very modern decor, looked like it has had a recent refurb.
The bed was comfortable but had it been a little bigger and firmer I would have given 10
Breakfast
Eight flights of stairs to very old fashioned room poor decor awful bathroom
Nice view. The staff was super nice!!
Stayed in the double room on 4th floor (many stairs!!). It was so hot like a sauna. Super small window so no breeze could get through. All four rooms on the attic had to sleep with the doors open to get some air in the rooms.
Amazing location with extensive sea/cliff views. Very clean, large spacious room with lovely bathroom. White fluffy towels and soft light quilt for summer. Very nice staff. Right in sea front.
Only had cooked breakfast 🍳 I only eat cereal yogurt fruit etc but none available 😢. Otherwise it’s fabulous
The guy who checked us in and the other guy who checked us out were very kind! The room was in a great location and it was a nice room.
Bed was a tad hard for my liking
I loved everything about this hotel. The room was very spacious and clean & the view of north beach from our bedroom window was absolutely perfect. The room had a modern, airy feeling to it and the fan provided really helped keep us cool with this hot weather we’re having. The hotel provided you with everything you need and it’s a the perfect spot to access all the amenities Tenby has to offer.
There was nothing negative that I can say about this hotel.
Location was very nice
Very out dated no lift and we happened to be placed on top floor not good when my partner has copd ...maybe there should be a choice for your rooms when booking also breakfast wasn't the greatest we ate out 1 of three morning's didn't spend much time in the hotel 😑
Feedback themes are sourced from guest reviews provided by our data provider.
What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
6/10Mixed feedback: several rooms described as clean, but multiple reports of mould, cracked/broken surfaces, dried seagull droppings on windows and general wear suggest inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance.
Service
8.5/10Consistently praised staff: reviewers repeatedly described staff as lovely, friendly and welcoming; service and helpfulness are strong points.
Location
9/10Very strong: numerous mentions of a fantastic seafront location, outstanding views and 'top tier' positioning — location is a clear highlight.
Room Quality
5.5/10Variable: some rooms recently renovated and nicely decorated, but many reports of outdated bathrooms, small or poorly maintained rooms, leaking showers, stained carpets and broken fixtures.
Amenities
6/10Limited in places: some reviewers note lack of basic in-room amenities (no shower gel, no mini-fridge, limited hanging/storage space) and constrained storage; public amenities (bar/restaurant) are good but in-room amenities inconsistent.
Value for Money
6.5/10Mixed perception: some guests felt they got what they paid for given location and staff, while others found rooms or breakfast quality did not match expectations, leading to modest value scores.
Food and Beverage
8.5/10Generally strong: many reviews praise the breakfast as excellent or outstanding, with a few noting limited options or disappointing execution in isolated cases.
Overall Experience
6/10Mixed overall: excellent location and friendly staff lift the experience for many, but inconsistent room quality, maintenance and some service lapses result in an overall mid-range impression.
