The impression given by the outside of this property is not shared on the inside. Carpets loose on the stairs, potato chips underneath the breakfast table, fittings coming away from doors, windows that either don't open or don't close, dusty tables... A whole cacophony of small but irritating things that made this hotel stand out for all the wrong reasons.... More

Good handicapped access - I was sporting crutches at the time - and good seating in the lounge and restaurant area. We just took advantage of the coffee and cake offer for £3.95 which was most agreeable. Our daughter had a tuna mayonnaise sandwich. and the total cost was £13.20. The dining and snacks menu looks good. Big open fire... More

Having booked a stay and then looked at recent reviews we decided to call the hotel and check again. They do not look at Trip Advisor - maybe they should. Bed bugs concerned us from other report. We were assured that the linen was changed using a commercial service and this turned out to be so - we had no... More

Although in quite an imposing building the entrance is rather low key. The hotel reception is the bar so you may have to wait to get attention. Up the grand staircase into a warren of smaller staircases and corridors, the rooms are in need of some redecoration - but the things that really matter are well taken care of. Our... More

Stayed at the hotel last night and was perfectly satisfied fir £39. Great location in the heart of the town but not noisy. Old building full of character. Had a single room at the top of the building which was warm, clean and had everything needed. The food in the bar was good pub grub, competitively priced. The staff were... More

I often stop here when travelling from North to South Wales. The rooms are clean; some are good, others are average and could do with some reburbishing; some are cold. The room price is good value. The food and beer are good and very good value. The service could do with a bit more smile. More

Popped in whilst wandering around Brecon. Not much atmosphere, not particularly clean in the area where we were sat, grubby walls, poorly painted radiator peeling wallpaper. Lots of tables, but many reserved when we were there so not much choice. Didn't eat there but menu had typical pub grub at average prices. Other end of bar looked more inviting with... More

This was a terrible stay! Booked a twin room as that was all that was available. We were on the top floor in an annex. It was in dire need of refurbishment (holes in the chipboard at the back of the bathroom door and only a mixer shower head between the taps instead of a shower, but worse than that... More

The staff were really helpful and pleasant and the food was very good for the price. Rooms need updating but are reasonably clean. Main critism was the company in the dining room while having dinner, two young girls about 9 years old with no parents around. Language was choice. Soap for the mouth and a lesson in manners would not... More
