Giltar Hotel

By far the best feature of the hotel is the position on the Esplanade with the most spectacular views of the sea and Caldey Island. The Giltar is a very nice hotel, and was a good base for our coach party, although you do feel a bit like second class guests with set meal times and menus restricted by a strict budget. All the staff, however, were exceptional in their friendly attitude and helpfulness. Our room, 105, was small, but very clean and had a fabulous view (at considerable extra cost). it wasn't particularly comfortable as the bed was just a standard double and there was only room for one chair for the two of us. We had a mini-balcony, but it wasn't usable space, although it was nice to have a patio door to allow air to circulate. The en-suite shower room was fine. All in all, we had a lovely holiday and would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The hotel is clean and tidy, with decorative choices that both lend to the age of the hotel and keep with modern taste. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food is good, the staff are friendly and the seafront rooms are fantastic. However, our only gripe is the showers. For the price we paid for our room, the shower (though modern and spotless) was really underwhelming. With such a luxury room and the price to match, it would be nice to enjoy a shower with atleast more power than a kitchen tap. This is our only issue with our stay, and unfortunately I doubt anything will change. Although, I probably would search another hotel next time and ask if their showers are powerful. So perhaps it is in Giltars interest to invest in a more powerful shower.

A lovely clean hotel with good food and very helpful staff. I went as part of a coach tour and the position of the hotel and standards were excellent even with a large party. The hotel is by the beach and very near to the town with plenty of shops and facilities.

The most beautiful room I have stayed in! This was booked for me as a birthday surprise and I was over the moon with it. We stayed in the room that had the 3 big windows with one opening up onto a balcony. The room was massive and the bed was huge! Had everything you could need and was very clean. The view out into the ocean and onto the beach was breathtaking (especially at sunset). The hotel is walking distance from everything and easy to find, check in. Only issue is the parking as it is quite small and not very well organised. It would be better if the bays were numbered and you were allocated one when you book. We were worried if we moved the car our space would be taken and we wouldn't find another! Overall, a really beautiful place to stay and I highly recommend it.

Just back from a wonderful 3 days at the Gilter. We stayed in room 214, which has exceptional views. We complained about the mattress though after the first night, and it was changed no problem. However the changed one still wasn’t the most comfortable.Breakfast was very good, with a great choice. Hotel staff helpful and friendly, and the location is just the best. Have stayed here on numerous occasions over the years, and have never been disappointed. Will come back for sure, but the hotel maybe needs to check its mattress supplier. As a retired couple, we do need comfort in that area of a stay.

Stayed here to watch the rugby on Saturday. Room was lovely and spacious and clean. We sat in the downstairs bar to watch the rugby on a big screen which was great. Breakfast was lovely. Altogether a lovely stay. Would book a seaview next time x
