The Twelve Knights

A nice clean well run hotel with bar and food.

Clean, spacious room. Very friendly staff and good quality food. Would reccomend Only issue is the need to use the firs escape for leaving before 8am, may not be suitable for people with limited mobility.

Booked two rooms at this hotel some weeks in advance as my band was performing in Swansea. I was notified that my payment had been declined two days before the stay (even though payment would ostensibly be taken on arrival). I updated my payment details and paid for one room through the portal but payment for the second room couldn’t be taken so I called the hotel. They informed me I could just pay on arrival as originally stated. However, two hours later, they took full payment from my card. I was willing to overlook this but the shambles had just started. I completed the ‘online check in’ form the day before my stay. On the day itself, we caught an Uber to the hotel at 3am (at a cost of £30) only to find the doors to the hotel firmly locked, with no buzzer or intercom. The lights inside the bar were on but there was no-one to be seen. I called the hotel repeatedly for at least 10 minutes with no answer. We weren’t getting in and unbelievably had to call another Uber, wait in the rain for 15 minutes with no shelter and then head back into Swansea where I was forced to pay £250 for a further two rooms at a Premier Inn. Absolute shambles. Expecting a refund.

The rooms are basic but were clean (other than some cobwebs on the light fittings). The rooms could do with a lick of paint and new carpets perhaps. But the bathrooms were well appointed and clean. Bed comfortable. Tea making facilities. The rooms could do with bedside lamps for convenience. Free easy parking. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food served in the pub below was fantastic. Beware of the latest check in being 11pm and no access to the outside world after this and until 7.30am other than via the fire escapes. Overall I would stay again as it was very convenient and nice enough.

I stayed one night while travelling for work. The staff were friendly. The room was clean and had the bonus of a bath as well as shower. I ate in the bar and the food was good and well priced. No problem with parking as there was a large car park.

Good overnight stop while visiting family Good big room and bathroom and pub access

Lovely, clean & tidy. Big bathroom with super shower. Able to open the windows to get fresh air in. Easy to find & plenty of parking. Friendly staff.

Good parking, nice room, friendly staff, with highly recommend.

The hotel’s staff is kind, and the food is excellent! However, the only inconvenience was that after 11 p.m., we had to use the outdoor stairs because the main door was no longer accessible.

Old,old, tired pub...just a bit grim. Every wall, carpet and door was stained or tatty. Took ages to check in, couldnt find the booking.. room was huge with a tiny monitor on the wall (about 12 foot high).. bed was miles away so it may as well not be there. Brea,fast is served at 8am, way too late on the week days. Also, you can not come down to e it the pub until 8am, if you do, you have to go out the metal fire escape.. looking at the door, i am not sure it opens! There is one huge good point.. THE STAFF.. they were brilliant.. really friendly and helpful... For the money, i would never go back... but the staff almost make it worth while.. The pub/brewery need to invest in this place

The room was very big, the bathroom was huge, the TV was small though, the decor was in need of refurbishment, the room would benefit from a deep clean,

I understand we paid just 48 quid for a room, but to have black mold, tissue stuffed in window seal and carpet quite literally stopping the door from opening as it was ruined and pulled up was not acceptable. No toilet roll. Soap empty in bathroom and felt like it was a painted shell not a hotel room. Harsh but true. For maybe 10 or 15 more quid we could have had literal luxury compared to this at Blancos or Greenacres. We got moved to a different room that had bare walls. A bathroom bigger than most bedrooms with a 19 inch tv in the high corner of room and unfortunately this caused (im not exaggerating) echoes that can only be described as desperate lol. I know you get what you pay for. However we have got a lot more for very little extra money. Seriously this isnt a hotel. Its a few rooms above a pub. The rooms are terrible. Pub However is great. Seriously the pub and staff are great. Rooms are like a hostel.

The staff in my opinion were very helpful and friendly. The food and beer good. However the room looked dirty and in need of a paint, the bathroom was mouldy around the bath and tiles. You really do get what you pay for. We stayed in room 10.

Room 9. Right outside your bedroom window is the kitchen extract fan that is like a jumbo jet. I couldn’t open the window because of the noise or smell. Once the kitchen had finished it went off so I could then open my windows for fresh air. The room is dated and is desperately needed a paint job and the carpet needs changing.Its dusty in the room and the windows are filthy. The only positive is the shower is powerful. Shame there are no blinds or curtains in the bathroom. The corridor carpets again disgusting. The corridor light is hanging off the ceiling. The staff however seem friendly enough. Paying £335 for 4 nights is daylight robbery for what I got in return. I would never stay again it needs a full make over. It’s been a very long time since I stayed in a battered old hotel but you live and learn.

My room was of a good size, however the cleanliness skirting boards was poor. The room would benefit with a lot more power points for charging.

Dirty beyond ability to be cleaned, poorly maintained, Black mould in bathroom, curtains hanging off, Carpet so dirty that felt need to keep shoes on. Needs a complete refurb. Such a shame as staff were lovely. Pictures very misleading.

Room itself was alright, pub food downstairs lush, but my shower curtain was mouldy, the lamp didn't work, and water wouldn't stop flowing down into the toilet bowl all night long.

Communication was great as it took us a while to drive and we were worried we'd miss check in. Lad who checked us in was great! There is a slight smell as you head upstairs and continues into the room. Nothing offensive though. Clean bedding and towels and tea and coffee facilities. There were marks on the carpet and it was sticky in places. Bathroom was clean but mould starting to show on walls and ceiling. No shower gel left in dispenser but this was rectified when advised.

My room had a window looking to a huge extractor fan for the kitchen. Very noisy. TV was losing signal constantly. Did not stay, left after 10 mins. Felt like a prison cell.

Friendly, helpful staff. Room was spacious and comfortable which was great for a dog friendly hotel. Locals in the bar were very friendly also. We enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous value for money accommodation. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. My room and its en suite bathroom was fabulous, with an extremely comfortable bed and all the right facilities. There was no pub noise or inappropriate behaviour on, or outside the premises, late at night from clients, which was pleasing to me. The only small remark is that I feel that the public areas could benefit from a bit of redecoration. However, I am aware that many pubs and hotels suffered during the pandemic, so that did not put me off, at all.

Staff were amazing. Louise was so very helpful. Quaint pub area with great seating options. Breakfast was a little pricey for the quality. Rooms were decent. Very plain. Shower was a little awkward with water splashing out constantly.

The staff was fantastic the food was really nice but our room needs a spruce up outdated

Stay was ok , the staff were nice and friendly but they turn the central heating of at night so you freeze your bloody ass off at night and when I mentioned it on booking out they said i should have told them and they would have provided a fan heater.,, ( well, I'm sorry but if I am staying in a hotel that has Central heating, why don't you leave it on? I shouldn't have to ask for a fan heater. Or any other heater. ???)

Twelve nights is amazing place to go the landlord and his mum and all staff was friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was amazing breakfast and evening meal we will differently be going bk

Kevin and the team are great, happy to help however they can. The food is very good as are the drinks. The en suite bathroom had a great shower, fluffy clean towels and was nicely laid out. The bed was clean and comfortable. We stayed for two nights and both agreed the only thing to change were some of the carpets. We didn't sleep, eat or shower on the carpets though, so it wasn't a game changer. We would definitely stay again, thank you Kevin and the whole team.

surprised to be asked for payment when we arrived had paid before online day before was also asked again following morning apparently not showing on system

Great service and welcome

Unfortunately not too good, the food in the restaurant was really poor and the inside of the place dark and dismal and in need of refurbishment, carpets dirty. Oh and a smile would have gone down well.

My short stay was very good, there was a warm welcome for me and my dog Tess, Jacob was an excellent Host. The food, drinks and the staff where very friendly, well done all. I will recommend.

The check in was simple, car parking close to entrance. Our room was good with a bathtub, great to ease those tired travellers muscles. We loved the menu, basic food beautifully cooked and presented. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Sth Wales.

Simple, functional and good food, excellent staff and a good area to stay for business.

Good overnight stop while visiting family Good big room and bathroom and pub access

Lovely, clean & tidy. Big bathroom with super shower. Able to open the windows to get fresh air in. Easy to find & plenty of parking. Friendly staff.

A lovely overnight stop off on our road trip through Wales. The owner and staff were friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again if we are travelling this way

Lovely staff, nice room, food was great value for money and location was great for visiting the area and cinema in port Talbot.

Good evening meal & breakfast, slept well

Great manager dont think anything would be a problem if you asked great staff aswell. Clean linen and hot water after a days work. Its a budget hotel so dont expect the ritz bedrooms just need a refresh but ive stayed for another week. Food is very good and HOT. Overall great. Thanks again jason A
