    Very dates and does not look like the photos on the website. Wall paper was peeling and the rooms looks grubby. We had a view of a car park. Was on the very top floor with no lift provided. Staff was lovely and the cleanliness was ok. Ideal location when staying in Tenby.

    The place was dated, shabby and tired. The roof was leaking in the stairwell and the lift was broken. Paint and paper were peeling off all over the place, even on the outside. In our bathroom there was no pressure in our shower and the taps were round the wrong way ie, the hot came out of the cold tap and vice versa. The shower curtain was too short and water just leaked onto the floor. The bed was very hard. The cooked breakfast was minimal. You only got 1 sausage, 1 piece of bacon, a hash brown, 1 fried egg, half a small tomato and a tablespoon of beans. The toaster didn't fit the bread in properly and you had to turn it half way through cooking. But there was plenty of cereal, juice, jam, tea and coffee. It would be nice if the pub attached to the hotel or the hotel itself, did food at lunchtimes and evenings.

    The view was amazing. The best view you could hope for. Looking out over the beach and the harbour. The room was very clean. The tea and coffee was replenished daily and the bed was made.

    Amazing view from this budget hotel. Basic but covers the essentials well enough.

    Lift didn't work, floorboards were very creaky, door lock wasn't very solid. Don't have a direct phone line to the reception. Rooms aesthetic was very dated. Bathroom didn't have a lock, the removable showerhead didn't work either. Would be ideal if they have a standing fan rather than a desk fan as it didn't reach the bed so it was a rough night due to the heat.

    Room size was great in the family room. Perfect location, view of the beach was amazing. Hotel was clean. Had almost all of the basics you expect a budget hotel to have. The Asian lady at reception was very courteous and helpful.

    The room was not the same as in the advertised photos, it’s a bit run down, a bit tired. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Some of the decor again needed a refresh. Breakfast choice quite small.

    The location was perfect as a base, the wonkyness of the building was quaint.
