Second time staying at this hotel and had a lovely stay. Staff are very helpful and professional and the hotel had a sense of calm and tranquility. The spa is excellent and we also had a complimentary drink in the bar. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, didn't hear a noise all night. The only criticism is that the bathrooms are dated and don't match the quality of the hotel. They really need updating.

Not the worst, but not the best.
It was our first time staying at the Voco St Davids and we had such high hopes.
The staff at check-in were a little robotic and preoccupied but polite nonetheless. Upon entry, the entry is beautifully and tastefully decorated with modern dark undertones; however, that is lost as you enter the upper floors and rooms. Our room was comfortable, but it wasn't very uninviting (nothing like the hotel's entry). The furniture was very dated and tired, with chips and scuff marks all over the side table, and the sideboard was a little dirty.
There were very few options for drinks in the room and the coffee machine just wouldn't work.
The door and frame which opened onto the balcony were a little dirty.
The bathroom was the real letdown in this hotel, it is so old and dated it's almost embarrassing. The small light mirror is dated 1997 (original sticker), made of plastic and so discoloured it needs replacing. The shower head wasn't very clean but nothing extreme.
A telephone in the bathroom (right next to the toilet) was very confusing and I could not see the purpose for this.
We ordered Breakfast for our room and I have to say it wasn't amazing! It arrived on time by a lovely member of staff however, the trolley on which breakfast arrived was a very old trolley. The white tablecloth arrived stained with orange juice and what looked like coffee or brown sauce!?
We won't stay here again as it wasn't to our liking, it's not the worst hotel but by our standards, it's not 5* worthy.

Excellent Customer Service
We enjoyed our recent stay at St.David’s. Unfortunately the hot water in our room wasn’t working in the evening when the maintenance team had finished. It wasn’t ideal, but the staff were extremely apologetic and helpful for something which was out of their control. It’s the people which make an experience good or bad in a hotel and the staff at St.David’s go above and beyond so we look forward to returning in the near future.

Room not very good at all
Hotel was nice. Service was good. Few things in room not up to standard. Toilet smelt a bit like a sewer, when seat wasnt closed. Hairdryer my partner was using nearly caught fire, and air con did not work properly, and made a squealing sound.

Good location. Great room.
Very nice hotel. Excellent room, think it was a jr suite but restaurant not open first night and no other lounge/bar area so not ideal. Would stay again but plan to walk over to Quay for dinner or drinks.

Not a 5* hotel.
Room was dirty, and noisy. Doors to balcony didn’t seal properly so room was drafty. Very damp smell in bathroom. Breakfast good.
