We had an en-suite, double room and it was perfect. Clean, warm and comfortable. The kitchen was for everyone's use and was our only problem - We ate out so we didn't have to use the facilities. Just needed a bloody good clean. We would definitely return as it is in the centre of Fishguard's new town, perfect for exploring... More

Skeptic about what we were letting ourselves in for..I sat in the car(still idling) whilst my wife ran in to check if there was a vacancy for the evening. Marlene was welcomed by the proprietor, Steve, who immediately showed her the double on suite room and confirmed an bed and breakfast rateat less than half the rates the local and... More

went travelling around with a friend and stayed two nights at the Hamilton Lodge and it was really the best backpackers we stayed in! even if fishguard isn't the most exciting place, this hostel is. the furniture seems to be collected from all over the world and lets you just guess what a kind of guy the owner has to...

The friendliest bloke runs this backpackers. It feels like home to stay here.. Our camper broke down here and we're glad it did just to meet Steve and friends. Comfy beds and he even put a load of washing on for us and cooked us a feed. Must stay place if around the Pembrokeshire Coast :)

...and I've stayed in a lot of hostels so that's really saying something! A real, genuine home-from-home. All the usual facilities plus a few extra comforts for good measure. Fab showers, comfy beds, great kitchen facilities, web and garden. And amazing hospitality. Can't get much better than that!

I think the key here is that you can't come here expecting a B&B. Although the kitchen is dirty, the fridge is empty, and the living room is outdated, this is the least disgusting hostel I've ever stayed in. There are two rooms of bunk beds that share a bathroom, and one private double room with its own bathroom. Since... More

We arrived one early morning and I guess we were the only backpackers staying in the whole lodge on that night! Feel home instantly when you entered. Comfy room, clean toilet and kitchen, living room with TV. Short distance to tourist information centre, and everywhere is within walking distance!

I stayed at this backpackers lodge with my partner for 2 days and I have nothing bad to say about this place. Compared to other hotels we have stayed in this one is top notch. The welcome we got was great we felt like it was a home from home. The place was spotless and our room was clean, and... More

This is a pleasant house with a cosy garden in the centre of Fishguard. The rooms are well accomodated, and the owner is always in for a chat. But the kitchen is rather small, and not clean: fridge, cabinets, floor etc... are dusty and greasy. Overall the house and garden are not very tidy. There was also a lot of... More

I arrived in the middle of the night and me and the owner got into an argument because of that, but we made up the next morning and i must say, i really enjoyed my stay in Hamilton Backpackers Lodge. It feels like home, it has a proper living room, very well equipped and beautiful kitchen, big spacious communal bathroom... More
