Top Carmarthen Hotel Reviews

The Diplomat Hotel and Spa

The Diplomat Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"Nice place to stay except for a singer performing in the bar due to a function taking place. He was directly below our room by the open staircase and didn’t finish until midnight. So it felt as if he was in the room with us. Apart from that the hotel is good, room nice and clean with a spotless bathroom. I’d go for a king room next time though as the bed was standard double and ask for a quiet area in case there’s an event in the evening."
