Unfortunately I had an unpleasant stay at the Middlegate Hotel - I stayed for 2 nights in Sept. 2025. There was very loud music playing late into the night (until 11pm) on a weekday which made it impossible for me to sleep. A band playing very loud music right under my room. This is not acceptable and made my stay at the hotel a miserable and a very negative experience. And during the day there were strange people coming by my window and looking into and inspecting my room thereby violating my privacy. Again - this is unacceptable. Thirdly, the shower was out of order and of course no one was present at the reception. A functioning shower is essential as well as privacy and quiet night time.

Comfortable and good nights sleep.

I enjoyed our four night stay, in particular the bed was comfortable, everything worked, quiet so a good sleep, breakfast good too. The owner was friendly. There was a group of musicians just playing folk and other acoustic to each other on one night which was excellent. Locationis good too, in the middle of Pembroke, car parking at the rear (via the Parade). Initial impression was not great as it felt like stepping back in time and some decor was tired inside and out The service was sometimes hesitant but don't let this deter you, they have got the basics right and it was reasonably priced. It certainly grew on me. Just do not expect 5*.

No... Just no

Honestly would not wish to stay again. The room was cramped. TV didn't work properly. Kettle didn't fit under the tap in the sink. Smelly, run down and personally a rip off. Pre-warning has live music and the floors aren't sound proofed. Put me off of Pembrokeshire

Well situated in the center of Pembroke. Onsite private, gated parking area. Family run business, clearly hard working people but delivered with a smile. Pre ordering breakfast (served 9 t0 10am) the day before won't suit everyone, but they have a system and it works Quality breakfast, well presented

A very pleasant stay in Pembroke. The hotel was wonderfully accommodating in allowing an early check in and a late check out. The location is convenient and walkable to various sites in the town. It is an older hotel with its furnishings, but was very clean and perfect as a base-point for doing some hiking in the area.

Comfortable room in a wonderful location!

Comfortable room, a real bargain and the breakfast was wonderful. The owner was lovely, really friendly and helpful. I was staying in a single, which would probably be snug if staying for a while/have loads of stuff, but for a few nights I'd strongly recommend (or book a larger room). Location is excellent, castle at the top of the street! Shops and restaurants all on the doorstep!

Warm and welcoming

This small hotel was very good value for money. The owner was really helpful and we were warmly welcomed and looked after. Obviously it was a place in need of investment but everything was clean and fresh and the rooms were comfortable. For a two and a half star, it was great. I would recommend it for its value for money and friendliness.

A good decision

Pembroke is a lovely town, and the Middlegate Hotel was ideal as a cheap and cheerful place to stay the night. Location was perfect - although on a main road through the town it was very quiet, and only a short walk to the castle and other attractions. There is a bar and a cafe (where breakfast is served) on the ground floor, so all needs are catered for. There was a TV and common room, although i watched the TV in my room. The hotel owner was great, couldn't do enough for his guests
