Spotlessly clean. Rooms are ensuite with a little kitchen area, all decorated differently. We had a little table to eat at as well. Chocolates and home made Welsh cakes with milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Self check in with a pin code key box. Building felt secure. Great views of the hills from the top room. Street parking available just outside the front door. A couple of convenience stores very close. Great location for visiting Merthyr. ![Antique sewing machines in lobby](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fe2ba227-eeca-4b08-b54d-382ac185d001-1763413032107.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lobby decoration ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c8930195-29a2-4b63-8895-362e7dc16927-1763413032883.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Wall decoration made from bicycle seat and handlebars ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da2797b4-bdb2-41d7-9944-7c4181a03d3c-1763413032555.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danielle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans 5 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I really enjoy staying at a James Place property, always a go to wherever I am in the area... excellent ##### Hans Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 15 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Fabulous Place To Stay Fabulous place to stay could not fault it in anyway. ##### Paul Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 6 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A very comfortable experience Lovely little guest house.
