This hotel was highly rated on TripAdvisor. It was not what we expected. Yes - it is well located on the promenade. The staff is attentive and helpful. The breakfasts (not included) were delicious. Good wine selection. But - being on the Promenade it is quite noisy, especially if the window needs to be opened for air. And only 1 of the 3 bay windows opened - the other 2 were painted shut. That did not help with a stuffy warm evening. The bathroom is upgraded but it is a bit of a hazard because the toilet and shower are a step up. You can trip in the dark. The furnishings are tired. The 2 chairs by the bay window are worn out and uncomfortable. The bedding needs an upgrade. Getting luggage up to your room is a challenge. No lift, so pack light - the stairs are steep.

Very comfortable extra king size bed in room with wonderful sea view (fantastic sunsets). Lovely welcome, luxurious towels and a shower like Niagara! Excellent breakfasts from a luscious extra special porridge or smoked haddock creation to a mega sausage sandwich. Will return to this family run homely hotel.

We stayed for one night only as a stopover to St Davids. The hotel room was excellent and the staff were very helpful. The only downside to the hotel is it's lack of parking. It is on the seafront and is a bit of a free for all to find nearby off street parking. There are a couple of car parks about 10 minutes walk away but were not easy to find and the member of staff that advised us of these seemed unable to give us precise directions. What would be most helpful would be if the hotel provided guests with a street map showing how to get to the St Michael's church car park and the Council's North Street car park. Both allow overnight parking although their websites indicated that they didn't!

Wonderful greeting at reception - lovely breakfast downstairs. A little piece of Welsh paradise overlooking the pier and close to everything. I think I left my belt there, so if anyone finds it, please let me know. Again, lovely - comfy and traditionally Welsh hospitality. Thank you!

Stayed here twice now and can’t fault it . Friendly staff . Spotless rooms with great amenities. Would recommend eating here in the evening to food is delicious. The sea views are stunning with seating outside to enjoy the view. We stayed in a sea view room . It’s a fantastic place and reasonably priced. With a fab location near to the centre of town

Stayed here for my birthday at the weekend, and it was fantastic. We had the top room in the hotel, and it was really nice with a great bathroom. Great views from the windows out onto the front, and the sound of the waves crashing was just perfect. Excellent breakfast, good coffee and friendly staff, highly recommended!

I had an excellent vegetarian breakfast this morning at Gwestry! Delicious poached eggs, tasty seasoning on mushrooms especially. It also looked healthy compared to many a full restaurant breakfast I've seen! Good hospitality and service. Classy venue which would be very pleasant for an evening meal too! Staff attentive to detail. Welsh speaking staff. Would recommend. Diolch yn fawr, Gwestry! The tea was great, much nicer than the tea at the place I'm staying currently. Cofion cynnes, Lin

My partner and I wanted a weekend away and we found this hidden gem. The room was perfect and we could see the starlings while sitting by the big bay windows. Breakfast was tasty and at a reasonable price too, we shall be back!
