Ponthir Holidays from £116

General room is OK, however, not to any hotel standard by all imagination. Rooms are under renovation so ours seems to be OK. The hotel price is shocking as we leave it too late to secure a place to stay, paid an absolute silly price tag for it. The experience was not great neither, we arrived 5:30 to go to a gig, then the stuff said the room is not ready yet and we have to wait for 10-15 minutes, and asked us to be considerate.. yet the check-in time is stated as 3pm as industry standard. Not impressed and have to leave the baggage and run for the gig. Back by 11pm to get the room. We were given a double bed by mistake, as we definitely booked a twin book, system error as they claimed, and one of the staff said there is no room and we are not going to give in, we rather sleep in the train station. After some staff chat, they offered us a three bed room, so we thought that’s it. Guess what, 20 minutes after, staff knocked our door and said they have ‘found’ a twin room for us. Not impressed.

Delightful host. Very clean and a quiet venue. Worth the money.

Pool closed, any food you had to get from sister hotel. Tried to get ice for my drink I had but at 22:20 was told bar closed so said just need ice but apparently no ice and was advised to go to sister hotel! Hotel currently undergoing renovation I believe and our room was in nice condition and bed comfortable and for what you can pay ( only paid £42 for 1 night) and had a double room with part sea view I think it’s definitely worth the money. Would consider staying again but if you can afford more then worth staying at sister hotel The Carlton as pool and restaurant open.
