    Slightly dated, in an old part of the town

    Very clean and comfortable. Claire made us very welcome from the start. Rooms were basically furnished, but with thoughtful extras, including a mini fridge, quality biccys, teas, coffee and water. Bus stop right outside front door. Breakfast was freshly made to order and was of a high standard. Private entrance for guests so that you didn’t have to walk through bar if you didn’t want to or between opening hours.

    - Pillows to soft and would of preferred harder/additional pillows - Fridge was noisy so had to be turned off over night - could hear every door being opened/closed on the floor

    - Ideal location to where I wanted to stay - Lovely room, loads of ‘freebies’ - fridge was ideal - comfortable/soft bed - Hosts were lovely and showed me to my room/tour upon arrival - ‘early’ breakfast (on a Sunday) was perfect especially with my early morning event - Overally great stay and will definitely book again!

    The exit was a bit impersonal and would have liked to have said thank you and good bye, in person rather than by review,as we had to leave via the fire escape .

    Friendly staff,and breakfast was good and substantial

    From the outside it doesn't look great, but one inside it's a completely different experience.

    I've never stayed in such a friendly place. The owners could have made us feel more welcome.

    Just what I needed for a brief stay in the Merthyr area, and very good value for money.

    A more personal check-in, although the text exchanges were very friendly.

    Clean and friendly, very good value for money. Slightly remote location suited me very well - very close to the Heads of the Valleys road, itself an excellent driving experience. Also not far from attractions like the Bannau Brycheiniog, Ystradfellte etc, and of course industrial South Wales.

    Nothing really - if anything the bed was a little soft and springy, which doesn’t bother me but isn’t my husbands favourite.

    Excellent value for money, room was spacious, well stocked tea tray and free water. Breakfast was lovely and included in the cost of the room. Big parking area behind the hotel, plenty of room. We visited so my husband could go to bike park wales and as others have said he was able to store his bike inside the breakfast area which is more secure than being left in the car. Overall a great stay, we wanted to check in later than 9pm and the owners made sure they were still there to welcome us. Would stay again if I was in the area.
