Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located right in the center of Pembroke, close to the imposing castle, making it convenient for exploring the town. While the modernized rooms offer a pleasant view across the countryside, the service was lacking as the staff seemed eager to rush through interactions. The dining experience was average with homemade tofu dishes available, and the facilities were basic but functional.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a stunning view across the countryside and were equipped with modern facilities, making it a comfortable experience. The service, however, left much to be desired as the young waiter's mishap with tea was quite an inconvenience, and the eagerness of the staff to rush our departure was noticeable. The location, right in the heart of Pembroke, was convenient for exploring the main sights on foot but lacked a bit of charm. The included dining of Moroccan pancakes was a unique touch. Overall, a mixed experience with some highs and lows.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Main street in the old town of Pembroke, offering easy access to local attractions. The rooms are comfortable but could use some updates, especially the bathrooms. The service had its mishaps but was satisfactory overall. The dining experience, with its included wood-fired pizza, was a highlight. The facilities were decent, providing a pleasant stay overall.
