Rhymney House hotel

The home made food is very good, the beds are comfortable the staff are lovely. The hotel needs some upgrade but its pet friendly which is great

This was a listed building in a convenient area. As it was an old building it shows signs of wear and tear. We chose this hotel as it was dog friendly and we needed this option. I feel that the dog friendly rooms were at the top of the building under the eaves which made the head height difficult and as the bathroom floor sloped a lot gave a strange feeling like being on a boat . Apart from that the beds were comfortable but as the room was small the tv was small and not in a convenient location for viewing. The staff were friendly and the meals we took were great.It is not 4 star but suited our needs and was a good price.

Lovely little pub not far out of Merthyr Tydfil and a 20 minute drive from Pen y fan. The double room was small but cosy for one and the was a good shower and plenty of tea. Service was excellent, with a warm welcome and useful information. I was there for two nights and the room wasn't refreshed but this wasn't a problem for me. Breakfast was excellent and there is a great selection of for for dinner in the pub for great prices.

Lovely stay, plenty parking, Very friendly staff and owner Anne makes a lovely breakfast. I'm looking forward to my next stay in a couple off weeks.

Bed comfortable, but no bedside light because of room shape. Furnishings old and basic. Carpets well worn. Owners very welcoming and helpful, so very well looked after during my short stay. No late night disturbance because house shuts down and downstairs alarms set at 10.30pm. Excellent!

Really good value for money overnight stop for Brecon Beacons with the dog, lovely steak at a great price and very welcoming hosts with excellent communication. Place is a little run down, but hey for £45 It was great.

My partner and myself had a lovely stay. The staff are very friendly , polite and professional , with nothing being too much trouble. The venue itself is on a hill with lovely view of the surrounding fields. It has a olde worlde feel with beautiful oak beams as part of its pub features and brass adornments on the wall. The bedrooms are clean and inviting with full tea and coffee making facilities , TV and shower and we had a good night's sleep waking up refreshed in the morning. . We partook of their dining facilities the night we checked in ,, having an evening meal , their menu choices were excellent including venison and rabbit dishes to name but two and the food was mouthwatering and delicious . Their prices are very competitive providing value for money We also ordered drinks with a pint of Ale and a cider coming to under £6 a round. .Morning breakfast which is included in the price had a good choice of cereals , toast , cooked breakfast , coffee, tea, orange juice , we opted for cooked breakfast and coffee and were not disappointed. Checking out was as easy and effortless as checking in we simply handed the key back . It is the second time we have stayed at the Rhymney hotel and we have plans to stay again in the not too distant future

Tired little hotel in need of some love, but full of character and the friendliest staff you could wish for. Allowed me to bring my mountain bike inside. Will definitely stay again ❤️

Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Bar and pool table were good fun too.

We had a really lovely stay here last weekend, the landlord was very welcoming and helpful and the chef was also very helpful and attentive. The pub had a great local atmosphere in the evening, and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was also very clean.

It was OK for a one night stay; the bed was squeeking every time we turned on it (did not sleep well because of it), there wasn't a curtain so the room was lit up from sun-up and it looked like there hadn't been vacuumed in a while. The breakfast was lovely though, and the folks running the place were friendly and accomodating.

Friendly staff and welcoming. Room was dirty, shower was broken, bathroom dirty.

The hotel is clearly dated however, it is clean , comfortable and excellent value for money. A fiver for homemade corned beef pie, chips and peas. Come on you cant beat that.

Hotel is very very outdated from the smell of stale beer throughout to the very dirty carpets going up the stairs to the rooms,The bedroom the beds are very cheap didnt even have matching bed linen,there was no tv remote i asked for one they said they would get one but didnt the paintwork was chipped and peeling on all the woodwork ,the towels were rock hard with a small tablet of soap the shower was dirty the taps on the dink turned all the way to the wall when trying to turn on or off i slept on top of the bed as it felt dirty after a very long day at work i didnt have the energy to move hotels due to the condition of rooms i didnt eat there so cannot confirm as to quality of food last resort wouldnt stay again i move about different hotrls evry night due to work definitely on the never again list

Clean tidy and friendly

The hotel exceeded our expectations, we didn't expect 4-5 star service from the budget hotel with such low price, and we read through the previous reviews, so we really expected an old traditional place rather than modern network hotels. However it was better than in the reviews. The hosts are very kind and helpful, the breakfasts and dinners were excellent. It's incredible how 1 woman can cook so many delicious meals for guests. The owners are such hardworking people! The room was very clean. So actually for this low price we got a clean room, hot water, cosy bed, delicious British breakfast. The only drawback was the internet speed, it was very slow, but we stopped there for the hiking and exploring nature, so low internet speed could be a part of the whole plan to get rest of city civilisation. It was a bit chilly in the room but we asked the owner and he immediately brought us an additional heater, we didn't turn it on though because it wasn't that bad.

The outside was ok. The bar and restaurant areas were ok.But room 5 where I stayed was in poor condition.The wallpaper was peeling from the walls , the woodwork needed painting. Generally the room was grubby and needed complete renovation. The electrical wiring looked as if didn’t appear to code.I booked the hotel for two nights but just left after the first night. I would not recommend this hotel.

The property was clean and tidy it was lovely and safe

Food at Rhymney is excellent, both free breakfast and meals. The only let down is the hotel needs to be freshened up and upgraded with a lick of paint and new bedroom decor and beds, otherwise very friendly staff and clean rooms and for the price can’t complain.

Excellent value, full breakfast, helpful staff. Homely with lots of character, but don't expect modern. Uneven floors so take care if have mobility issues. Quiet area.

Addition of bedside tables, table and chair, more storage and slightly larger TV would improve facilities in the room. Hot water, shower, room temperature and bed all good. Overall, good value for money. A comfortable stay with a great breakfast included in the price.

I made the mistake of believing the reviews. Didn't realize it had only had 6 reviews That must be friends and family. The decor is seriously 30 to 40 years old. Small TV , freezing cold shower It wasn't expensive . So I should've expected it. If you want somewhere to doss it's fine. The place is a pit !

Food at Rhymney is excellent, both free breakfast and meals. The only let down is the hotel needs to be freshened up and upgraded with a lick of paint and new bedroom decor and beds, otherwise very friendly staff and clean rooms and for the price can’t complain.

Value for money and a good location for exploring the Brecon Beacons. Didn’t always seem to get hot water coming through and the shower was quite small, but otherwise a good stay. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room, overall a great low budget option.

Great staff, excellent food, welcoming attitude from the locals

This is a really quaint hotel with friendly and accommodating service at an affordable price.

A place trapped in the 70s... Came here for a little trip away to have a look around the Welsh countryside and valleys, upon arrival was met by a landlord called Tony who was lovely to talk to, he mentioned that our floor (at the top) ahead no heating as their boiler was broken and that they had an electrician coming out to look into it, we weren't exactly thrilled with the prospect of a cold room but thought we could muscle through. By the second night we were frozen, the room was so cold we could see our breath, we asked the lady running downstairs who gave my partner an equally frosty reception if we could grab some extra blankets and she told my partner that no, intact the heating does work however they simply don't want to pay the energy prices. This would be so bad if it wasn't £60 a night but you could easily stay in a premier Inn for cheaper and in a room much more up to date. After having a little tiff we said that due to the awkwardness we would be leaving the following morning which we did. I've attached a few photos of the decor but more disturbingly the bed bug decayed duvets inside the cover. I will say the food was good for the price and breakfast is a bonus but to blame the energy crisis for leaving your guests room freezing is just not good enough and staff need a course in customer satisfaction. Won't be coming back unfortunately :(

Very wconomically priced. Staff were very friendly and the full breakfast excellently cooked

I always believe a review should based on the price you pay, the staff and value for money. Although this place is dated, rooms are ok, staff great and a good breakfast included.

Great service and good location

Not a lot to see within walking distance of the hotel but a good base to explore the Brecon Beacons and the Welsh valleys.

Really good value for money overnight stop for Brecon Beacons with the dog, lovely steak at a great price and very welcoming hosts with excellent communication. Place is a little run down, but hey for £45 It was great.

Excellent value, full breakfast, helpful staff. Homely with lots of character, but don't expect modern. Uneven floors so take care if have mobility issues. Quiet area.

Perfectly fine for the price. Staff were very nice. Close to Brecon Beacons.

Great staff. Really good place for exploring nearby and the Beacons. Good base. Great food and insanely good prices. Will be back
