What guests think

Travellers describe The Bulkeley Hotel as a characterful, seafront base with beautiful views and a central Beaumaris location, balancing old world charm with clear signs of age, ranging from dated decor and creaking floors to mixed bathrooms and facilities.

Staff are widely praised as friendly and helpful, and many guests enjoy good breakfasts, evening meals, and the onsite cafe. Common frustrations include tired rooms and bathrooms, inconsistent housekeeping, occasional slow restaurant service, and limited onsite parking with public parking nearby. Expect a nostalgic stay with welcoming service, but with vintage comforts and some rough edges.

The Bulkeley is such a lovely place to stay. Perfect location right on the sea with gorgeous views. The hotel was genuinely dog friendly and our dogs had a fantastic time. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We will be back for sure!

We stayed for one night, it’s a beautiful Victorian building both inside & out but could do with a little update. The rooms were clean & comfortable but the back of the bathroom door & bath panel needed a repaint as paint was scratched & peeling off. Great choice of breakfast & cooked to order, car park is first come, first served but there is a large car park over the road so no issues there. Would stay there again & would try to get a sea view next time.

The place is really tired and falling to bits in places, which is a shame as it could be lovely. Dirty and needs a huge update. We booked online and saw dog friendly yet when we arrived were told no dogs in our room.. we then had to make alternative arrangements for our dog then they tried to charge us for a dog. No mention of this at booking either

Stunning period building inside and out in a great picturesque location right on the front and also close to local shops with great walks on your doorstep. Staff members are very friendly, courteous and professional throughout and go above and beyond to cater to your needs. Food options are plenty and the breakfast was made to order with continental options also provided. Breakfast was very fresh and tasted great. Nice little gift shop on site and the hotel is also dog friendly which was nice to see. Hotel provides a separate dining area for guests with pets. Plenty of parking in the hotel but also plent opposite the hotel if the hotel car park gets full. I couldn't park in the hotel due to very late at night arrival, however, I had no issues parking and I was about 20ft away from the hotel car park. Beds are really comfy and facilities offered in the room are in abundance. The room did get a little warm in the evening but opening the window a little bit solved the issue. This did increase the chances of road noise, however, it didn't interfere with sleep. Overall, great hotel and location and I would definitely consider staying again for a longer period.

We had a superior room which had a great view but the room was dusty and dated. The whole hotel looked shabby and in dire need of updating. We were unable to park and had to find a car park, we ended up some distance away. The evening meal was excellent but the breakfast was not so good, with very poor sausages. We were not advised of the breakfast menu.

The location is perfect and the sea view terrace is lovely. The building is very grand - grade one listed. The staff were friendly but on the one occasion I asked for my room to be cleaned the bathroom wasn’t re-supplied and the basin not cleaned. The windows in the bathroom were jammed shut - a fan was supplied, which only circulated the warm air in the room. Continental breakfast was ok and the service was good but the bacon was so tough it was inedible. The price was good value for the location.

We stayed for 4 nights. The room was serviced at about 3pm each day but sheets never changed and day cushions/throws only replaced onto bed once during the stay. The remaining days they stayed on a chair where we had placed them. Cups/water glasses were returned to tray in the room but hadn’t been washed, neither had sink on two days. Not impressed with housekeeping Standard but all staff were pleasant and trying their best.

This is a lovely hotel. From the moment we arrived there staff were super friendly. The room (the Victoria Suite) was beautiful with stunning sea views. Super clean and well stocked. Breakfast and evening meals were very well prepared and huge portions! I liked that dogs were allowed (Although we didn’t take ours). Beaumaris itself is a delight, probably more so with us being there out of season.

The hotel and room were adequate The receptionist was applauding suggesting that I hadn’t checked my reservation and dog facilities. She made NO effort to assist me in my request for a shower which is not in the bath. I explained that I had injury sustained as a soldier serving. She said no shower had been requested, plainly NOT so. But for the 6 hour drive home I would have left and driven. Disappointed as i have stayed regularly

Had a lovely 1 night stay at this historic hotel. The interiors are dated but that is part of the charm. The staff were so helpful and friendly, we had an upgrade on our room because hotels.com had overbooked and the staff were very good about it. The room and bed were comfortable, but the kettle was a bit rubbish and not convenient to use (it was connected to the plug which was behind the television) The breakfast was pretty average, not the best but you had enough options. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend if you need somewhere in the area.
