Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were charming and cozy, with beautiful beams and a large bathroom that made me feel like royalty. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. However, the location had a bit of noise from the street and the facilities could use some improvements. Overall, a delightful experience!
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, with superb lighting and extremely comfortable beds. The scrambled eggs were the best I've ever had. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a small issue with a drink at night. The location was perfect for exploring the town, but being directly opposite a noisy kebab shop was a downside. The dining experience was good, with quick service and great value, but the lack of blackout blinds in the room was a bit bothersome. Overall, I enjoyed my time here.
The hotel is conveniently located in Pontypridd adjacent to an indoor market, featuring chic French-style decor. The rooms, although spacious, looked slightly tired with scuffs on the walls and stains on the carpet but were a good size. The service was welcoming overall, with some noise disturbances noted. The dining experience was described as substantial and good value for money, with a basic breakfast offering. The location, while central to restaurants/bars/shops, faced noise issues late at night and early in the morning.
My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable. The rooms were very large, airy, and comfortable, giving great value for the money. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning during the summer. The service was top-notch with very friendly and helpful staff. However, the location, though convenient for some activities, had issues with noise late at night and early in the morning. The dining experience was stunning, and the facilities were really good overall.
