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.

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..

We hebben heerlijk verbleven in het Royal Lion Hotel. De ligging is geweldig; pal aan zee. Onze kamer bood schitterend uitzicht. De kamer was schoon, de check-in vriendelijk en het ontbijt was goed. Ons was bekend dat het gebouw gerenoveerd wordt, we zijn benieuwd hoe het eruit komt te zien! Het gebouw heeft met zijn hoge plafonds en mooie ornamenten veel potentie.

Amazing holiday in a very quirky hotel. For comfort I would recommend the hotel. It was certainly quirky with floors that were sloping. The lift does not work BUT it was quite, clean and the view of the sea was just magical

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. Excellent central location, with panoramic views of both North Beach and the harbour. I stayed in February, a winter month, so I kept coming back to my room, to enjoy the beautiful views, which I could never tire of. A real quiet place to recover and relax. Television to enjoy after dark, in a warm cosy room with high ceilings and original plaster coving. Poky B&Bs in back streets with no views at all were charging much more than the Royal Lion. A bonus is that there is Free parking in many streets in Tenby eg. The Esplanade and streets running off it, and it was so easy to find parking spaces. No need to go to a car park. There were only 5 other rooms occupied, and continental breakfast was a delight, with views over the harbour whilst enjoying your breakfast. The outside of the hotel needs refurbishment, but I gathered that the owners are only leaseholders, and the freeholder is responsible for it. But the critical success factor is the low price, plus the magnificent views, and if the hotel invested to become 4 star, guests would not want to pay the much higher rates needed to justify the investment.

All round Customer service was welcoming and friendly. The bar has a good pint and entertainment was friendly. Our room was clean and lovely views. Breakfast was hot and good all round. Building is dated and externally needs TLC, but we would return.

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

I was a bit doubtful to stay here after looking at reviews,but I so glad we did. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it! Yes the building needs work, BUT it was spotless! Not a single cobweb in sight! The room was a good size (family room) with perfect views over north beach. The staff were very welcoming and helped with our luggage,if you struggle with stairs then ask for a low floor,I didn’t think too and struggled,but the gentleman on the desk helped with bags etc as I mentioned before. People on other reviews have said the lift is out of order,which it is but the hotel doesn’t advertise it has a lift so you can’t really complain about that in my opinion! The breakfast was a good size with plenty of fresh bread and proper butter! We will definitely be returning here,just on a lower floor! Thankyou for a wonderful few days!!
