Decent size room, good shower and very good breakfast. There is a restaurant and we enjoyed a nice meal. The staff were very helpful and were nice people. The town of Blaenavon is interesting and definitely worth a visit. ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KEN 20 Sept 2024 Great host.Menu for supper excellent ##### KEN Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ,the location for visiting the world heritage centre of Blaenavon was good. The inn offered excellent meals. We were traveling without a car which made it a bit complicated to visit other sites. We did manage to visit Raglan Castle in Abervageny. ##### Joan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheryn 10 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff, very quick and easy check in and out.

Impressive refurbishment of old historic building to create cosy pub/restaurent with rooms. Atmosphere in evening was super, busy, satff very friendly and cask ale excellent. Food was 5 star both in the evening and at breakfast. (I had a very large flat iron sliced sirloin steak with garlic mushroom sauce grilled to perfection and wife a very agreeable cleanly fried fish + chips in evening whilst). All at reasonable price. Room and facilities very clean and comfortable. Visit to "Big Pit" not to be missed and will be back for a longer break to visit the rest of Blaenavon's heritage sites and Brecon Beacons. ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely We had a lovely stay here in the family suite on the top floor. The ceilings are low for those that are tall. However, it worked out well for us. The rooms were clean. The included breakfast was delicious and the restaurant for dinner was excellent as well. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Claire 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Have stayed here before and would happily return. Staff are really helpful and friendly, and the food- we had breakfast and dinner - is tasty and plentiful. The whole place is clean and well-looked after and almost feels out of place in a town as run down as Blaenavon. We love the sauna, a bit of a treat after a long day out. Our only fault with the (twin) room is the shower as it's an over bath one rather than stand up cubicle; tricky for those with long hair. That said, theres a shower by the sauna so we washed our hair fine there instead so wasnt a huge issue. ##### Claire Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Janet 8 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Accommodating staff One of our party came down with Covid. The entire hotel staff has been gracious and extremely accommodating as we had to extend our stay. Can’t imagine a more welcoming place to be. The rooms are basic but comfortable. ##### Janet Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A Real Gem The place may not look much when you turn up but it provided one of my more pleasant stays on the road. The room was finished to a good spec and the bed was so very comfortable affording one of the best night's sleeps I have had away from home. I had shops within walking distance and parking was convenient. The real star of the stay was the breakfast which is included. The ingredients were of a very high quality and you can tell they were sourced locally with the bacon being the standout. Service provided was great and I was found a fan on request. Would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area. ##### Mike Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service Room was clean but some attention to detail needed. Curtain pole fell down on opening curtains. Shower tray overflowed. Limited space around overlarge sink. Nowhere to put wash bag when in use. Bed comfy. Room quiet. ##### Caroline Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### john 19 Sept 2023 Food in restaurant was fine. Our problems were with the room allocated. We were in the loft area so there was limited head height which was a problem getting in and out of bedroom. The bathroom was spacious but had a tiny sink with a tap which fitted over half the depth of the sink so utilising the sink was difficult for an adult. ##### john Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Roy 13 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### The Lion Blaenavon. We have had better, but we would go back because its central to where we like to go. The staff were very good and the room was clean but we were very disappointed with breakfast. I was given toast completely burnt on one side, not toasted the other. The cook and server must have seen this. One day the fried tomato tasted bad. One day the sausages were pink in the middle. After asking, we were given extra toast. which came on the breakfast plate .therefore soggy. We were not offered butter and marmalade to go on it. The tea was very week and only given one tea bag each.So i supplied my own. One day they had no orange juice even though co op was just down the road. The room was dark with dark wallpaper. Very small TV high up to give you neck ache. The toilet seat was hanging by a thread, as was the bath tap. The town is interesting. but most shops closed, unloved and dirty. boys doing wheelies on motorbikes with no numberplates. Lovely people in the Musium, shops. Iron Works. and Big Pit . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B38746D1BF55975B68E74D94C3BFA68B2FD576A01694649535106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58A46A1D162D1E3C6C89AB79872360E7B67B7B9D1694649564720.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roy Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Brambles 66 static caravan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Brambles-66-Static-Caravan.h40215457.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel St David's, Nr Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Deeside-Hotels-Village-Hotel-St-Davids.h903462.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan to rent trecco bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Caravan-To-Rent-Trecco-Bay.h40005587.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Newport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Mercure-Newport-Hotel.h46182979.Hotel-Information) > > [Trearddur Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holyhead-Hotels-Trearddur-Bay-Hotel.h15717627.Hotel-Information) > > [Court Colman Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Court-Colman-Manor.h3551641.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wild Hare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Wild-Hare.h32514454.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Park Pontypridd, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Heritage-Park-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h1668045.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Plas Talgarth Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Machynlleth-Hotels-Macdonald-Plas-Talgarth-Holiday-Resort.h13232286.Hotel-Information) > > [Raglan Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Usk-Hotels-Raglan-Lodge.h20064801.Hotel-Information) > > [Château Rhianfa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menai-Bridge-Hotels-Chateau-Rhianfa.h5103718.Hotel-Information) > > [Quay Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-Quay-Hotel-And-Spa.h1517268.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-St-Pierre-Marriott-Hotel-Country-Club.h65879.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Bridgend Cardiff M4](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Bridgend-Cardiff-M4.h1223160.Hotel-Information) > > [Herons Lake Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Herons-Lake-Retreat.h33266089.Hotel-Information) > > [Tre-Ysgawen Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangefni-Hotels-Tre-Ysgawen-Hall.h3499549.Hotel-Information) > > [The Huntsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Huntsman-Hotel.h42672465.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Magor.h63748.Hotel-Information) > > [Llanerch Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Llanerch-Vineyard-Hotel.h5705762.Hotel-Information) > > [Wye Valley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Wye-Valley-Hotel.h18445057.Hotel-Information) > > [Vale Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Vale-Resort.h1057564.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Budget Newport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Newport.h6172748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Portmeirion & Castell Deudraeth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penrhyndeudraeth-Hotels-Hotel-Portmeirion-Castell-Deudraeth.h10075714.Hotel-Information) > > [Beaufort Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mold-Hotels-Beaufort-Park-Hotel.h912336.Hotel-Information) > > [Lion Quays Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oswestry-Hotels-Lion-Quays-Hotel-Spa.h1379396.Hotel-Information) > > [Belvilla Newport City Centre Hotel - Lifestyle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Silurian-Hotel.h69221774.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greyhound Inn & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Greyhound-Inn-Hotel.h21560730.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coed-Y-Mwstwr Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Coed-Y-Mwstwr-Hotel.h3717304.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel.h3928584.Hotel-Information) ---
