Really helpful team. Only reason for scoring 4 for comfort was because it was too warm in the room (as with vast majority of hotels). Good food, good price, very friendly people.

Booked it same day, the room was on the 4th floor and as it was during the heatwave, was a bit warm, they did provide us with couple of fans that helped. It was a lovely room with a sofa, TV and vanity table. A nice view of trees and sunset. It was clean everywhere.

Not the worst

The hotel staff were very nice. The hotel is very dated. Only single beds in each room which weren’t comfortable. You are able to hear all the noise on the street. Great hotel for a no frills stay

Get what you pay for, so pay more and stay away.

Turned up, checked in, went to room.and left immediately due to hotel clientele, the excessive noise from the 3 pubs right next door and the strong smell of fatty food cooking underneath us. The hotel, according to locals, has gone downhill since new owners have taken over and is little more than a glorified hostel.

I don’t really have much good to say apart the staff were extremely professional, polite and well turned out however, the rest of the hotel had a very strong food/cookin oil aroma, very poor finish to the rooms, dated and very insecure. Bar was ok but under staffed. A lick of paint and a new carpet are far from what this establishment needs to bring it to a 1 star hotel. Sorry to the staff , you guys were what stopped us from leaving the moment we arrived. Shower was terrible and the same dead flies in the same place as the first nigh.

This property WAS and still IS a hostel for the homeless. The first floor has been “renovated” if you can call a lick of paint renovated, but the second floor is empty and the 3 rd floor has homeless tenants put up by the local council. This IS NOT a hotel!! This is a multi occupancy dwelling in a really dodgy part of town and if you have any sense you will find somewhere else, I have never been so frightened in a “hotel”

Horrendous, most things broken or not working Why can't I post pictures of this? I need a full or partial refund, shower wasn't working, dirty,broken tiles paint and dirt on the bathroom door,paperthin walls which resulted in listening to our 'neighbours ' nocturnal activities, arguing, slamming doors

Strong smell of paint, no carpet on the stairs to the rooms only underlay (there was a lift) Room smelt stale, drawers didn't have any handles only bare screws, the bathroom sink had a crack in it,broken tiles, paint and dirt on the bathroom door and the shower didn't work. When we complained about the shower and the fact that we had driven 3 hours to get there and wanted to freshen up the receptionist said 'well you don't smell 'and that the handyman had gone home and there was nothing she could do, we asked to move rooms but there wasn't anything available. I would really like either a full or partial refund as the hotel was 100% not as advertised

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
A hot night in Merthyr with windows wide open was not ideal. The windows were too high to close. Constant noise- screaming and shouting until 3am in the morning. This was our first and last visit and will not be going back. Staff were friendly and even though we decided to leave at 5.30 am, a member of staff was available to unlock the main door to let us out. Hotel is a bit dated and room wall extremely tatty but this was reflected by the cost - £59!
