Friendly staff and big room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanna 3 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Not impressed The hotel is in great spot- a walk away from pubs and cafes of Llandovery. The car has to be parked on a public car park right by the castle, only £1.5 for the whole day and literally a minute walk from the hotel. No breakfast served at the property. The Room was really dated, strange decor , the toilet was making a lot of noise every time the water was flushed, no curtain blinds to stop the sun shining from very early morning into your face. TV not working. Poor quality of woodwork and painting everywhere. There are new owners taking over the business so hopefully they will make some improvements as it has potential. Too expensive for what you get. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Perfect for an overnight stay. Although quite dated, it was more than comfortable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Sept 2020 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle 5 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Danielle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne, Leek Staffordshire 10 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Very quirky property! Had a very good and Covid-safe welcome. Unfortunately, they weren’t opening for food until the following week but we had a very nice dinner in the nearby Kings Head. The room was clean and the shower was great - only criticism, the mattress is very thin and somewhat uncomfortable- If that was replaced, I’d have given full rating. ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Oaks Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Four-Oaks-Hotel.h41517481.Hotel-Information) > > [Llandudno Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Regency-Royal-Hotel.h11063174.Hotel-Information) > > [The Diplomat Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llanelli-Hotels-Best-Western-Diplomat-Hotel-And-Spa.h5089.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Marlborough-Hotel.h15463953.Hotel-Information) > > [Pontins Prestatyn Sand Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestatyn-Hotels-Prestatyn-Sands-Holiday-Park.h4252365.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawton & Lauriston Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Lawton-Lauriston-Court.h91752102.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Alexandra Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-New-Alexandra-Hotel.h24121387.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beaches Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestatyn-Hotels-The-Beaches-Hotel.h1695067.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bulkeley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beaumaris-Hotels-The-Bulkeley-Hotel.h699845.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marine Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h57916982.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterloo Hotel Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Waterloo-Hotel-Lodge.h865766.Hotel-Information) > > [The Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-The-Imperial-Hotel.h13326626.Hotel-Information) > > [The Castle Hotel, Conwy, North Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Conwy-Hotels-The-Castle-Hotel.h1272716.Hotel-Information) > > [Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Celtic-Royal-Hotel.h4519752.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wild Pheasant Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels-Wild-Pheasant-Hotel-Spa.h24949.Hotel-Information) > > [Gwesty'r Marine Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberystwyth-Hotels-Gwestyr-Marine-Hotel-Spa.h21064320.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h5062.Hotel-Information) > > [Tŷ Milford Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milford-Haven-Hotels-Ty-Hotel-Milford-Waterfront.h72052558.Hotel-Information) > > [Belmont Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Belmont-Llandudno.h17573519.Hotel-Information) > > [Evans Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Evans-Hotel.h19387795.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seafront Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Bay-County-Hotel.h57956289.Hotel-Information) > > [The Empire Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-The-Empire-Hotel-Spa.h799754.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Oak Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Betws-Y-Coed-Hotels-Royal-Oak-Hotel.h3594591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel By Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carmarthen-Hotels-The-Ivy-Bush-Royal-Hotel-By-Compass-Hospitality.h11900800.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Llandudno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Llandudno.h1201479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hand Hotel Llangollen by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels-The-Hand-Hotel.h20417837.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bear Hotel, Crickhowell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crickhowell-Hotels-The-Bear-Hotel.h4581051.Hotel-Information) > > [White Heather Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-White-Heather-Hotel.h34125177.Hotel-Information) > > [St George's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-St-Georges-Hotel.h62743.Hotel-Information) > > [Heywood Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Heywood-Spa-Hotel.h23409034.Hotel-Information)
