Good value for money, and I even got a free upgrade from a single to twin room as there weren't that many guests at the hotel. Location is excellent being in the centre of Pembroke, within walkable distance to Pembroke Castle, Pembroke train station, and bus stops. Staff were welcoming when I met them, however, they arrived late for my check-in slot due to traffic (I showed up at 1830 whereas they opened the doors around 1845), which left me panicking for a while as I wasn't told they were running late (and the bar/ hotel entrance/ restaurant was totally shut until they arrived).

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*.

Hotel was poorly maintained with reports of no staff. Hotel was not as highly rated on your site and overpriced. Would not stay there again or recommend to others.

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

Would stay again

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

Good stay

I was worrying about this hotel before I stayed there becasue I'd read lots of negative reviews.
But the hotel was nice! I stayed in a single room which was same with the photos.
The room and bathroom were clean, bed was comfortable, TV worked well.
The breakfast was also great and owner's family was very kind!
I was satisfied with my stay :)

The triple room we stayed is 95 pounds a night when we book online and the host charged us 5 more for using credit card. The room is packed and there's no space to put the luggages at all. But we get it that it's not super expensive, we just deal with it. The place is clean except the old and almost falling dressers looks dangerous and smells a bit.

Very run down and grotty

The hotel was rated a 2 star. this is grossly overstated and wonder how it obtained this rating. The place was run down and grotty. I was shocked by the condition of the place. the room was cold. The beds were damp. The wallpaper was torn. The doors etc badly needed painting. The decor was shabby and not in good condition. We could not stay and did not get a refund.

A basic hotel which is well positioned in the centre of the main street of Pembroke. Breakfast is included in the price and the area is quiet although there can be some noise from adjoining rooms. If you just want a well priced room for the night in a good location, then it ticks the boxes.

The hotel building is a little tired but this was obvious at the time of booking. The welcome we received was exceptional and the family running the hotel could not have been more helpful or accommodating.

Central Pembroke

The hotel is 10 mins from train station (turn left and walk below railway bridge up main street. Hotel is on left of street near post office). Please note you must request the Pembroke stop with train conductor and wave the train down on platform if you want to get on. The pub acts as hotel reception. Its family run they are very friendly and knowledgeable/helpful - a free drink and chat welcome you to the hotel which is a real nice touch. The rooms are a bit dated and could do with a revamp but this is reflected in the low price. They have all you need and are clean. Hotel central to shops castle etc. The very kind hospitality made you want to stay again - larger hotels should set their standards this high.

gastfreundliches hotel

Wir sind vor dem geschlossenen Hotel gestanden, man musste eine Telefonnummer die an der Türe war anrufen. Der Anruf wurde zwar nicht entgegen genommen, jedoch erschien eine Dame und hat uns freundlich empfangen. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und auch dass Zimmer gezeigt. Das Zimmer war in guten, sauberen Zustand. Das Bad ist ein wenig eng, aber dass kennt ja man auf den Inseln schon. Das Hotel ist über einem Pub, Montags mit Live Band bis 23 Uhr. Somit ist für Unterhaltung gesorgt. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und redet mit den seinen Gästen, hat uns noch ein paar Tipps gegeben. Frühstück ist auch völlig ok. Wir werden, wenn es sich ergibt wieder hier Übernachten.

hôtel bien situé, bon accueil mais confort limité

L'équipement des chambres est particulièrement sommaire (tv avec écran de 20cm), mini lavabo dans la chambre, lampes sans ampoules, wifi aléatoire. Possibilité de parking appréciable.
