Would definitely stay there again
Pros:

Very enjoyable stay. The staff were friendly, helpful and communicative. The room was overlooking the car park, but that was a plus point as we were able to keep an eye on the car. The car park was behind the hotel itself, both in one way streets so if you navigate to "The Parade" you will find it easily. A comfortable, well equipped room with en suite bathroom.
A very generous breakfast, beautifully cooked with lots of options. The food in the restaurant at dinner was equally good too. The hotel is conveniently located for visits to Tenby and Saundersfoot

Cons:

A few minor gripes. The television called itself a Smart TV, but there were no Apps available and the Freeview channels had several missing, including the one we always watch! On the first night, the pub a couple of doors away had a live band in the evening, pounding away until nearly midnight, making sleep impossible. The room had a small fridge, but it didn't get very cold! Upon entering the building from the car park, the stairway up to room 24 etc. was very poorly lit by LED lighting that was just not bright enough and was a bit of a hazard, especially if you have just come in from bright sunlight outside and your eyes haven't adjusted yet.

I had a very enjoyable stay that really facilitated a great walking holiday.
Pros:

Excellent location, very clean, plenty of breakfast choice and plenty of breakfast. Room was an adequate size with lots of wardrobe space and an excellent shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful except for below.

Cons:

A comment/complaint was initially dismissed by a member of staff, but subsequently dealt with professionally to my satisfaction.

Pros:

The location is really good. The bed was comfortable and, considering the room was ground floor next to the main walkway to and from the car park, it was pleasantly quiet.

Cons:

I know it's called a 'budget' room, but it really was. There was nowhere to hang damp towels and the en suite was cramped.

Ideal position and great base to explore the beauty of South Pembrokeshire
Pros:

The King'S Arms sits on the Main Street of Pembroke and is perfectly situated to allow you to explore the town, its history and the stunning Norman Castle that sit a few hundred yards from the hotel. Parking is easy, the breakfast is excellent and it is an excellent base to explore the beauty of South Pembrokeshire. and its wonderful beaches.
Don't expect a flashy modern place to stay. This is a comfortable, well run hotel with character and excellent staff.
