Public spaces and the bar are generally well presented, but parking is off site, small, and can be inconvenient. Rooms range from spacious and comfortable (including some four-poster beds) to dated and noisy, with limited blackout and occasional equipment issues. Breakfast is inconsistent, with periods of limited continental service and, at other times, well reviewed options. Expect a characterful stay with variable room comfort and breakfast consistency.

Very nice stay at this historic inn. Clean, comfortable rooms with amazing staff. Lunch and drinks at the lounge were very good. It’s a building built near the late 1600’s (as I was told) but has been well maintained and it’s in a great area of town. We’d recommend to anyone.

The rooms need a facelift and the hotel says it has free parking available, but the car park is only small and is open to the public. I ended up paying in the multi-storey carpark and carrying everything across town to the hotel.

Outside decoration of building was good. Architecture was interesting and Lady on reception provided me with a brief history of the hotel. When I arrived in the car she gave clear directions to the private hotel car park. Breakfast was to a very good standard and was self service on the day I visited. My only moan was again the TV remote, whose batteries were as dead as a dodo. I reported this to the desk on leaving.

While this is clearly a old hotel the public spaces were nicely presented and the room, though small, was pleasant enough and good value for £75 a night, The car park is small and a little separate from the hotel which was a little of concern. The bar is open all day and is a pleasant place to be but disappointing that there is no food offered.

The hotel was lovely apart from the walk to rooms and being disabled it wasn’t easy room 27 was the furthest room from the lift . Also what spoilt the stay for us was the lack of privacy with a real thin door with a big gap underneath dividing inbetween rooms, so you can hear every word next door said all night and that’s not a nice feeling sorry Then to top that we got blocked in the hotel car park by a non resident illegally parked. When asked could they get the car removed I was told they can’t do that. Luckily one of the staff was able to move her car so I was finally able to get out and leave. Please put a camera on your car park and enforce the parking fine for illegal parking and that way you won’t get bad reviews regarding the matter which I was told happens daily. Thanks

The staff were friendly and helpful plus the bar and dining area were very nice. However, the rooms looked tired and unclean - there were spiderwebs on the ceiling and significant black mold in the bathroom specifically around the bathtub and under the bath mat. The siding of the bath was loose/broken, the toilet cistern was faulty and would make noise unless you lifted the top to adjust the mechanism which revealed more black mold underneath and behind the toilet. I would share photos but the app wont let me for some reason. Please also be aware that when the hotel states that it offers breakfast this is not a hot breakfast, it is purely toast, cereal, cheese, ham and a salad.

First impression of lobby, bar and common areas was good. Rooms were horrible, dirty, carpets disgusting, toilet dirty, cob webs, shower door didn’t close, bed was old and lumpy, shower water too hot and hard to adjust. Need to update locks on door, using keys and hard to lock. They did have nice towels and bedding was clean. These comments were regarding rooms 20 and 22. I don’t understand reviews on this sight being good.

There are areas of the Hotel that look a little dated but generally the Hotel is good value for money. I will stay there again for my next business trip. I also left something in my room when I checked out but I had a phone call a little later to let me know they had put it to one side for me.

A really lovely old-fashioned hotel, conveniently located for the town centre and railway station. I was impressed by the size of the room and bathroom, and the fact that the bed was a four-poster, especially given how reasonably priced the room was. Breakfast was very good and all the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

For less than £70 it was ok. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom needs modernising. The bathroom window did not close. There are no curtains in the room, and blinds let loads of light in. Could hear all the noise from outside and other rooms talking.

Hotels.com gave wrong information about a room, saying that it slept 3 but was only suitable for two. The receptionist at the hotel was very understanding and was able to move us to a larger room more suitable for us at a slightly extra cost - we were very grateful for this. The rooms were nice and comfortable and breakfast was lovely. The member of staff in the breakfast room as very good with our 6 year old son, chatting to him and asking about his holiday, it made his morning.

4th or 5th time staying here in the last couple of years. Travel for work and visits to nearby clients so just 1 night stays but they always treat me well. Always a comfortable stay but this time upgraded to a larger room by the lovely lady at the desk so I'd be more comfortable (I'm very tall) in a family room. Breakfast always great. Hotel is very easy to get to and find just a couple of mins walk from the station.

If your wanting a quiet stay this hotel is located directly in front of a very loud nightclub so take this into consideration on a Friday/ satarday night🙂

Unable to sleep due to noise from surrounding bars /clubs Unable to hear tv in room due to noise even with windows shut. No parking available. Wifi not working. Tv remote faulty. No chef so no evening meal. Very noisy outside and hotel unable to offer any remedy that night. Did not stay full duration due to lack of sleep. Unsuitable especially for a child if you expect to be able to sleep at a reasonable hour. Very unhappy. Staff were considerate and apologetic though.

The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very spacious and the bed are very comfortable, the hotel is in a good location for all the amenities/shops and bars, it is only about 10 minutes walk from the train station..

Dining
Breakfast feedback is inconsistent: several reviews report only a limited continental selection, while others praise the quality and variety at times. Evening meals were unavailable during some periods due to no chef, later noted as improving.

Breakfast was terrible. Billed as ‘continental’ but was a couple of loaves of cheap white sliced bread and re-slided cheap cheese. Both the sort of thing you’d get from a ‘Happy Shopper’. I would have made some toast but there was only one ‘two slice’ toaster for all the residents. No bread rolls, croissants, cheese selection etc.

While this is clearly a old hotel the public spaces were nicely presented and the room, though small, was pleasant enough and good value for £75 a night, The car park is small and a little separate from the hotel which was a little of concern. The bar is open all day and is a pleasant place to be but disappointing that there is no food offered.

A really lovely old-fashioned hotel, conveniently located for the town centre and railway station. I was impressed by the size of the room and bathroom, and the fact that the bed was a four-poster, especially given how reasonably priced the room was. Breakfast was very good and all the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

Unable to sleep due to noise from surrounding bars /clubs Unable to hear tv in room due to noise even with windows shut. No parking available. Wifi not working. Tv remote faulty. No chef so no evening meal. Very noisy outside and hotel unable to offer any remedy that night. Did not stay full duration due to lack of sleep. Unsuitable especially for a child if you expect to be able to sleep at a reasonable hour. Very unhappy. Staff were considerate and apologetic though.

The staff were friendly and helpful plus the bar and dining area were very nice. However, the rooms looked tired and unclean - there were spiderwebs on the ceiling and significant black mold in the bathroom specifically around the bathtub and under the bath mat. The siding of the bath was loose/broken, the toilet cistern was faulty and would make noise unless you lifted the top to adjust the mechanism which revealed more black mold underneath and behind the toilet. I would share photos but the app wont let me for some reason. Please also be aware that when the hotel states that it offers breakfast this is not a hot breakfast, it is purely toast, cereal, cheese, ham and a salad.

A nice stay as always. Although only 4 stars this time as breakfast limited, No cooked food and not really made up for by ‘continental’ option. This is probably only temporary though as they have no Chef. Although they seem to be actively trying to recruit to be fair,

Reception staff were friendly and pleasant. The further into the hotel you got the more tired and grubby it felt, Venetian blinds didn't look as if they'd seen a duster in a long time. The room itself was pleasant enough, however even though the blinds were shut, there was still lots of light entering the room. There was a glass panel on the shower, however loads of water ended up outside the cubicle. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

We were kept awake until 2am with very loud music and shouting from nearby bars/clubs. Turns out Neath is a party town on weekends. I had to get up at 5am the next day so it was an awful stay. When I complained to the hotel they told me that I should have asked them for ear plugs. Avoid like the plague unless you’re a reveller
