Lovely and helpful staff. Great location.
Pros:

The building is lovely and in a great location.
Every single member of staff I encountered were so helpful and friendly. I was travelling alone with my little girl and really appreciated how much they made us feel welcome.

Cons:

I had paid for a luxury sea view room and whilst the room was big and the bathroom lovely the decor looked and felt a little cheap.
Was the room clean - absolutely. Does it need a re vamp - absolutely.

Pros:

Location, staff & restaurant

Cons:

Our room was very dated & the shower was dreadful, it was a mixer tap one with a mind of its own. For that reason we would stay there again

Definitely feels a “grand” hotel but sadly a little tired, it probably wouldn’t be my first choice in future but if need
Pros:

I like olde world hotels, very grand and spacious, free parking, very pleasant and helpful staff, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast is help yourself, most of the food was to dry and overcooked due to being sat under warmer, a freshly cooked breakfast would be far nicer, not the best value for money.

Old school glamour with a stunning view
Pros:

Old school glamour with a stunning view. We previously stayed 13 years ago and ended up in the same room again. The hotel may be a little tired in places but it is stunning and very clean. Our room was huge and had an amazing view of the sea and mountains. The food was lovely, shout out to Holly who looked after us so well in the restaurant both nights. The breakfast is also lovely and nothing is too much trouble to make. All the staff are friendly and helpful. We had no problems parking.

Cons:

We loved everything I wish we could have stayed longer!

Not as enjoyable as in our previous stays.
Pros:

The staff as usual were excellent and the room (202) was ok but on the small side as we had two dogs with us.

Cons:

We have stayed at the Bulkeley many times and have always looked forward to our time there. On this occasion however, we were disappointed with the dinner menu compared to previous stays and the bacon chop I had on one night was really underdone. We feel that the prices have increased too much. For example, £5.50 for a scone in the Deli, is way over the top.
