Royal Lion Hotel

Nice hotel shame was not informed the bar was closed for refurbishment but room was upgraded which was very kind. The mattress was hard though also would have been nice if there was some staff at night as there was a couple of rowdy guests

Although room was clean and tidy on arrival, the room has a slant. The bed was also therefore slanted, which left you feeling as if you were sliding downwards. Whole hotel needs to be refurbished and updated. No lift for people with disabilities Shower not working properly. Constantly running cold Breakfast minimal. (Like a child's portion) although Lady who took orders was very professional and polite WiFi password wouldn't let my Samsung phone connect to the WiFi No Car Parking facilities. You have to park at the Train station at the cost of £4.55 per day and then walk about a mile uphill back to the Hotel

There is building work going on at this properry, so covered in scaffolding. The building is old and dated. The bar is closed. Lamp didnt work in teh bedroom. Shower curtain was stained and didn't fit the length of the bath. Ceiling paper was hanging off. The breakfast was awful, small potions, non-brand cereal and no fruit! Barely saw staff. The images are very misleading, Ive stayed in Tenby many times, unfortunately this is the worst ive stayed in.

The Hotel resembled a building site with scaffolding on the exterior of the building, with construction workers coming and going in the interior, which was shabby-Peeling paint, dirty floors. One evening, I had to go without hot water. The breakfast wasn't inspiring, cheap cereals in dispensers, English breakfast didn't look appetising. Although, the rooms were clean they were tired looking.They need to be fresh, modern and contempary. The Hotel shouldn't be open for business, with all this work going on.

Stayed before and enjoyed shame the bar was not open that’s twice now but hope it will be next time

The hotel was priced fairly for what it had to offer. The room I was allocated was on the top floor (76 steps to reach it) so, not being the fittest of people, I would have appreciated it if the lift had been working! However, the staff were friendly and the accommodation was comfortable enough. Other reviewers have commented on the state of repairs and refurbishment to the property, so I shall not add to that discussion now.

The hotel looked worn at the outside but the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We excepted just a continental breakfast but we had a full English. We were on the 4th floor and as there are no lifts it was difficult to take luggage up and down the stairs.

No mention that the hotel was covered in scaffolding prior to booking 2 weeks before stay, amazing location but no views for hotel as to ongoing work, rooms are in dire need of modernising, staff were great and very helpful

The location was good, however the property is rundown, lift out of order and I couldn’t get an Internet conexión in our room.

The room was spacious and very clean. Two elevators were out of service. The signal of the internet was so weak that TV did not properly work. Obviously I used my 3G instead of WIFI in the room. The shower was too weak to have a shower. There was no view but the wall decorated with the artificial grass. On the same floor, someone brought his/her dog barking all morning so disturbed my sleep…not that great experience all in all

This Hotel is Dated, but they are doing it up slowly, the beds are comfortable, and sheets and towels are spotlessly White

Great central location. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is good. However the cleanliness of this place is poor my room was not properly cleaned after the previous guest. There was man body hair allover the bedsheets, towels, toilet seat, shower, sink and on the floor. There are toothpaste stains on the sink, bathroom floor not properly sweeped. Towels did not look clean and didn't smell fresh. I asked for new towels and bedsheets. The new face towel smelled so bad that the smell was stuck on my face and I had to wash it again. My room was in 4th floor so the water pressure was very low if someone else is taking shower in the other rooms, you'll have to take a shower with a very weak stream of water. This place needs to improve the standards of cleanliness. It's a shame really as this place is in a perfect location and the staff are good but it has such poor cleanliness.

The Royal Lion Hotel is desperately in need of maintenance, it is building in a prime location, overlooking the sea, but sadly now in need of refurbishment. The pictures on the Internet do not reflect the actual poor condition of the property. The condition in our bathroom was stomach churning, I purchased cleaning products to removed the build-up of black mould around the taps and in the grouting of the surrounding tiles. The black mould atound the window was most off-putting, cleaning desperately needed. The whole property is very tired, worn out and not aesthetically pleasingly! On a positive, the bedding and towels were crisp white, the breakfast was excellent albeit very small and all the staff very friendly. This is building could be an asset to the tourist industry but in my opinion should be avoided.

Property was under construction so that i understand. Customer service was good. Beds were comfortable and soft. Breakfast was also good my friend and i enjoyed it very much apart from having the same breakfast options every morning. However the shower curtain looked like a 100 years old so old and crushed. The toilets had feces particles the mirror had toothpaste residues all over it. When booking it did say housekeeping was included but that wasnt the case we get clean towel daily but sheets werent changed and room werent tidy.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.

The outside of the property really lets the whole place down. It's run down and could do with a paint job to tidy up. Inside was clean and tidy. Our room was clean and tidy as-well with a Nice size bathroom. Breakfast was ok. Overall the stay was good value and location was excellent.

Hotel is literally being demolished before your very eyes - hopefully it will come out stronger without leaks, slanted floorways, and better windows. The rooms themselves are extremely small and not super clean. The walls are coming undone with fiberglass showing and it's just a troubling sight. Breakfast was good and staff are doing their best given the condition of the structure.

The property is very centrally located with lovely views. Breakfast was good. Work was being done on the windows during my stay. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel has obviously seen better days, and is in need of a general overhaul. But, checkin was very quick and friendly, the room was clean, the shower very warm (though the appearance was a bit down). Breakfast was good and the service very helpful. We stayed two nights and were very comfortable

Lovely hotel in the process of being renovated so not many rooms open breakfast lovely room spotless £45 per nite with breakfast amazing value

View excellent, about what you expect from a seaside resort hotel in terms of decor etc. people who say it’s run down need to be a bit more realistic, yes could do with a touch up in a few places but far from the worst you’ll see, breakfast ok. Did leave a night early as the bed was awful, ended up sleeping on the floor.

Fantastic loctation, large comfortable room with great sea views, good wifi, tv, tea/coffee & ok bath & shower. Good breakfast choices & very nice breakfast room. Hotel is run down & you need to be fit to climb stairs but rooms,food & welcome are great. Excellent value for money over all.

The location of this hotel is amazing! We have stayed at this hotel before and always found it clean, but in desperate need of TLC. The main reason we stop here is because of the location. You are literally at the harbour and in the town centee. Also, it is in walking distance of all the beaches. We paid extra for a harbour view which I was excited about, however as we got to the room, there was scaffolding up at the window. Not a great start. There were also workmen in the room next to us banging away and at one point I thought they were on the scaffolding outside of our room which meant I kept the curtains closed. The beds are hard and the rooms are ok, but ours had cobwebs everywhere. Breakfast is included which is great. It's quite simple, but you can have a cooked breakfast along with toast and cereal. At breakfast one day, I heard two women from separate parties complaining to each other as they couldn't get any hot water that morning and the Internet keeps shutting down. There is a lift, however it doesn't work and no ground floor rooms, which would not be suitable for disabled guests. The stairs themselves are old and not straight (although that's part of the charm of an old building, but not good if you're unsteady on your feet) If you are looking for a budget friendly hotel in an amazing location, book a stay. Honestly, the only reason we're returning guests is the location. However, after this stay I think we will look at alternatives accomodation.

Beautiful old building comfy bed, great size room, lovely views only downside is the windows looked like they could fall apart. Breakfast nice but a bit small.

Very hospitable and accommodating staff.Lovely spacious rooms with sea view.

Very spacious room with amazing sea views, however, decor very old and dated. That said, still reasonable for the price. Some renovation works going on, could be amazing in this location

This is a hard one to review. When we arrived, I nearly didn't want to go in due to the state of the building, but we decided to go in to see what the room was like. The staff were really helpfull. The reception is very dated. Our room was fantastic. It was clean, we had an amazing sea view. The bed was comfy. The windows were in very bad condition and do need replacing, plus the room does need a fresh coat of paint. From my understanding, the hotel is in the process of being refurnished, and as it is a listed building, will take time. But for the price and location, I would recommend. Another minor thing, if you are a vegetarian, the breakfast was poor as it was the normal breakfast with the meat taken off, so basically one egg and a small scoop of beans. Luckily, you could help yourself to toast!

Room very spacious and clean. Pillows are flat like pancakes. Hotel had no replacement available. Lift not working its stairs up and down. Staff is very friendly. Pressure of water in the shower not very strong.

The hotel is undergoing a major renovation at the time of my visit which must be very challenging at times to provide the best customer service but I felt they are doing a grand job. The staff were very pleasant and the workmen were extremely polite and apologetic if they were in my way going up and down the stairs. My room was clean and I was able to relax in a very comfortable bed after having a lovely hot bath. Tea and coffee provided. So look beyond the inital viewing of the hotel and concentrate on the more personal things. A good hearty breakfast the following morning saw me start my day off well.

It’s a nice dated hotel which reflects its authenticity. If you are looking for a modern hotel this isn’t for you. The location of this hotel, with it being sea front and near the train station, very ideal. The receptionists very helpful.

All staff very friendly and polite. Great breakfast. Central location to explore Tenby and surrounding areas.

Very hospitable and accommodating staff.Lovely spacious rooms with sea view.

Hyggelig betjening og imøtekommende personale i baren. Hotellet er under renovering, men vi fikk et helt ok rom for natten. Fin beliggenhet og gangavstand til alt, Tenby er en liten plass.

The trip was booked in February,they phoned and cancelled my booking 3 weeks before we were due to go, we phoned and rebooked, different days as they had no room for the Saturday. The bathroom had black mould in the grouting around the shower, the handwashing sink was next to the tea and coffee and kettle in the bedroom. When we went down to breakfast we were told that there was no breakfast that morning as the staff had not turned up, there was no substitute for the cooked breakfast apart from cereal or toast and fruit and yoghurt, which was ok for me, but my husband doesn’t eat itThe hotel was a mess, with windows boarded across to stop them falling out,. This hotel should not be used as it has a lot of maintenance that needs to be done, so that it is acceptable , should have been a nice couple of days to celebrate my husband’s birthday, very disappointed with everything

The property is very centrally located with lovely views. Breakfast was good. Work was being done on the windows during my stay. Room was large, clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Staff were polite friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, we would happily stay here again. Thank you we enjoyed our anniversary break.

The lady at the breakfast was very nice.

Excellent stay, brilliant sea view

A comfortable stay with lovely sea view. Hotel is a little tired and needs updating but super location & reasonably priced.

Great location, except no parking, and friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely. We had a sea view, dog friendly room. It was acceptable but needs some tlc.

Our room on the 1st floor was clean, quite large and well equipped, the staff were polite, friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. Location was excellent with parking less than 2 minutes walk

Lovely hotel, great location. The hotel itself is looking a bit dated, but they seem to be doing a refurb, we had a sea view room overlooking the beach which was really relaxing to look out to in the night, with the sound of sea at night it was lush. A bit disapointing that there was not much going on in tenby on a sat night, no live bands, no singers etc. it didn’t feel like a sat..

The hotel is very well positioned and the sea view was amazing. The room was a really nice size and comfortable. The Hotel is however old and there seem to be major works going on. The building is surrounded by scaffolding on two sides. We had a leak through the ceiling when raining and the bathroom needs updating. The breakfast on offer is sufficient and a great convenience. The bar on the back of the ground floor is well managed, stocked and quite popular. Overall a good stay

Excellent location. The hotel was being renovated when I was staying but I wasn't disrupted by it.

Sea view was amazing. The room was large, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was really good too. Right in the heart of Tenby so close to all the shops and pubs etc. the hotel is in need of repair but it did not affect our stay at all. Great price. We would definitely stay here again

The views from our hotel room across the harbour and the beach and cliffs were absolutely incredible. The position of the hotel was superb. Whilst the building, at about 300 years old, had charm and elegance it is sadly very run down and in need of much TLC. However, for the price (which included a quite decent breakfast) and location it wasn’t bad value and Tenby itself is such a pretty town with wonderful views and scenery.

This is an old hotel on the sea line, amazing view. What i didn't like is that they have only instant coffee , and for the breakfast i had to go somewhere else because of that

Staff were polite friendly and helpful, our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, we would happily stay here again. Thank you we enjoyed our anniversary break.

Excellent location, service was good. Room could do with a little update but overall clean and comfortable. Perfect for the few days we were away staff helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was ample and well cooked Thank you

Will be good once all the work has been completed., as its having a full refurbishment at the moment, would have been good to of been told when booking. Also the lift was not in service. Breakfast is ok but need better quality sausages.
