Fantastic sea view and good location
Pros:

Fantastic views and friendly staff. A high standard of cleanliness.

Cons:

We had to rush breakfast on first morning and miss it on the second as it didn't start until 9am and we had to catch trains early on both days. I would visit again but I wouldn't book breakfast. 7

Just Loved Tenby!!
Pros:

Beautiful cliff top location, walking distance to everything. Lovely staff, great breakfast and room spacious with comfortable bed.

Cons:

We had a top floor room facing the ocean, very outdated, shabby and the view was blocked by a grey wall. Quite disappointing.

Würde nicht mehr dahin
Pros:

Die Lage ist gut, zentral gelegen

Cons:

Die Dame an der Reception war äusserst unfreundlich, bot keinerlei Interesse und Hilfestellung, fertigte und ab. Fühlten uns nicht willkommen. Das Zimmer war alt, eng und im 4. Stockwerk, kein Lift, 75 Stufen . 2 Koffer hatten kaum Platz. Preis Leistung schlecht. Doch ist dieser Ort allgemein teuer. Frühstück ok, aber keine Früchte etc, sehr englische Küche . Es gibt vielleicht bessere Zimmer, doch das unsere gehörte definitiv nicht dazu.

friendly, accommodating, value for money, lovely breakfast, just a lovely place
Pros:

our view from our bedroom was amazing that I didn't want to leave the comfort of my chair to go into town, the hotel is in the middle of a large refurbishment, but our room was very stylist and modern, and very clean, they have kept the traditional wackiness in the bar area, We couldn't fault any of the staff, happy, friendly and very accommodating, We will be going back.

Cons:

nothing

Amazing location - hotel needs some tlc and then it would be great
Pros:

Great location on sea front and had a sea view room. Comfortable bed

Cons:

v tired hotel. V odd room layout with a small side room with a sofa looking at a wall and only 1.5m away from it! Windows overlooking sea front v grubby and suffer from seagull poo. Bathroom v basic and small.
Breakfast was poor quality

Nice if on first and second floor otherwise don’t bother
Pros:

Loved our room, the first two floors have been done out, really nice. But we had friends staying on third floor and forth and they shouldn’t be allowed to use them until done out.

Cons:

The third and fourth floor shouldn’t be allowed to be open or give a massive discount

We are going home a lot more relaxed 💗
Pros:

The location is perfect, the view is beautiful! A sea view room is a must. I have spent the early mornings watching the tide ebb and flow. And the harbour go about it’s business, the boats chugging out the open sea I found it very relaxing.

Cons:

Having to go home 😢
