My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very basic and tired, not worth the price paid, but at least they were clean, quiet, and cool. However, the bug-infested room with green bath water and power outages was a major drawback. The hotel felt more like a cheap pub room than a luxury stay.

The rooms were very basic and tired, not worth what we paid. However, they were clean, quiet, and cool.

Service

5.0

The service was a letdown, with issues like the steam room not working and lights out in the changing rooms. The staff tried to be helpful but fell short in providing a truly pleasant experience.

Location

5.0

The location was a little tatty and could use some updating. It was uneven and potentially unsafe in some areas, not quite what we were hoping for.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was a mix of positives and negatives. While the food was good, the need to pay extra for certain items felt like an unnecessary burden. The menu could have been more varied and inclusive without charging extra.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were disappointing, with missing tiles in the pool area, shabby showers, and an overall sense of neglect. The place needs a renovation to match the price they are charging.

I stayed at room 14 for our last 3 nights, which was clean but in need of updates. The hotel's location is perfect for exploring Pen y Fan, yet it was uncomfortable having to walk through the restaurant in a dressing gown to reach the pool. The dining experience could use some improvement, however, dinner was exceptional and served promptly. The facilities need TLC but offer a range of options to enjoy.
