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

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”

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!

Family stay

Stayed for a night with the family. The night receptionist, a friendly person, but not fully informed. We were told we could order breakfast in the morning. At 730, a new face at the reception, she was not friendly, at the same time said breakfast should have had been ordered at night. Rooms are old, windows are old single glazed, need modernisation.
