Kidwelly Castle

9.6/10 (15 reviews)
Through the mist, the soldiers on the battlements heard the sound of a horse approaching. They would have been prepared for an imminent attack, but before they could make out whether it was friend or foe, their unexpected visitors drew closer, and the soldiers saw they weren’t on horseback after all - it was a knight, accompanied by just one servant, banging together the two halves of a coconut shell.

"The Imperial Hotel is a lovely place to stay in Tenby. The location is excellent, the staff are welcoming and helpful and the hotel has a warm and comfortable atmosphere. I particularly appreciated the kindness and professionalism shown by management and staff during my stay. Any issue I had was dealt with thoughtfully and efficiently, which made a real difference. I would happily stay here again and would recommend the Imperial to anyone wanting a memorable stay with exceptional hospitality in one of Tenby's most beautifully situated hotels. A. Taggart :)"

"Great location, price and staff. Parking too. We had a room for 3 adults but only had two towels and there was no hot water from the shower. The kettle also didn’t look the cleanest and had limescale. It’s perfect if you want cheap and cheerful for a night out but if you want comfort or are taking older family and friends it misses those final touches"

8/10 Good
"I considered giving this hotel 3–3.5 stars, but the excellent staff genuinely lift it to a solid 4. We stayed three nights in early August with our two children and had a large room with two king beds. Housekeeping missed two items (a glass of stale cider and a pair of socks), which the receptionist quickly resolved. Otherwise, the room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast had limited vegetarian options, but the team—especially Gainsley—looked after us brilliantly, providing vegetarian sausages daily and remembering our needs. Dinner also included thoughtful off‑menu vegetarian dishes. My wife enjoyed a relaxing massage, and although the pool is small, it was fine during our stay. The main issue was the mattresses in Room 51, which were extremely squeaky—loud enough to wake us despite being heavy sleepers. With two kids moving around, restful sleep was difficult. We raised this at checkout and suggested staff test the beds themselves. Despite this, the staff are outstanding—warm, proactive, and genuinely caring. Fixing housekeeping lapses and replacing those mattresses would make the stay significantly better."
