The property fell far short of what could reasonably be described as a hotel, more like rooms situated above an empty pub. On arrival, I was shown a basic breakfast room and told to operate the tea urn myself if i was to come down before 8am; only cereals were available. Access to the rooms was via a staircase with filthy, heavily stained carpet, and it appeared that only myself & my colleague were residents. My room had a damp smell, a double bed, and minimal furnishings. The en-suite area was horrendous: although the toilet was clean, there was no soap provided, just a couple of tubes of combined hair/body wash. The shower was lined with black mould, and the sink contained multiple hairs. Back in the bedroom, the carpet had clearly not been vacuumed and was littered with crumbs and various stains. A shelf was marked with numerous cup rings, and the single mug provided was stained. Nothing felt clean enough to use. The bar was completely empty, so we chose to dine at a nearby Nepalese restaurant instead. Later, I attempted to watch TV in the room, only to find that no channels were available. Unable to relax and concerned about possible bites, I remained fully clothed on the bed until morning—waking physically fine but mentally exhausted. We left the property at 07:45 without encountering any staff and went elsewhere for breakfast. My firm recommendation is to avoid this establishment entirely, and not to confuse it with the similary named Castle of Brecon Hotel!

The lady who checked us in appeared to not know what she was doing. When we called to say we wanted to check out we mentioned the issues we had with the room and were told by someone else we had been put in the wrong room. No 9ne gave us their names. Didnt see anyone else for the majority of our stay

Nothing like the photos. Very out dated and not clean. From entering the hotel, the entrance not clean or welcoming. All key were on a table by the door. Dirty carpets. Leading up to our room dirty carpets and hadn’t been decorated for along time. All doors to the rooms were open. All scruffy rooms. Quit covers massive for the quilts and hanging to the floor. We walked into our , very scruffy and floor to the bathroom very stained and not clean. At this point we decided that we would not be staying at this hotel. Not worth £89.00 per night. We have asked for a refund with hotels.com

Basic but good value for money. Parking good. No staff on site at check-in, had to phone a mobile and get own keys/room allocation from a diary on the bar. Steep stairs, difficult for those with mobility issues as no staff available to assist. Bar unstaffed at the time (helped by a local customer who does casual work in the bar), and minimal choice of wines. Restaurant present (green plastic tablecloths), but only available food was by take away from next door fish&chip shop (annexed to the hotel) with usual fish&chip shop menu. Room adequate though compact. Washbasin very small, very difficult to fill the kettle. Nice shower. Room clean, but not serviced between day1&2. Second day, restaurant as before, went to local pub. On return, bar had closed at 8pm. Continental breakfast only (self service) but OK.
