Then on Thursday... More

This hotel had good sized rooms, and a desk to work at if you needed to. There was plenty of storage/hanging space, comfortable bed and lovely bathroom, with nice tiling detail. The shower was powerful and hot water good. The one draw back perhaps was the bar closing quite early for this type of hotel. More

We stayed at this hotel for one night during November 2011. It is a comfortable hotel with plenty of places to sit around to read, relax have a quiet drink or have a bar meal. The staff were excellent and were only too happy to help and seemed eager to make our stay a comfortable one. We stayed in room... More

Stayed here for 1 night in October with my wife and 3 year old child. Nice friendly staff in reception and bar. Staff mainly friendly in restaurant but one member of staff was quite rude. We ate in the bar in the evening as it was nice and comfortable with sofas and tables. The food was burnt and this male... More

When we initially arrived at the hotel we were a little concerned the exterior needs some attention. These concerns were quickly relinquished when we pulled in to the car park and entered the reception to be greeted with a warm welcome and speedy registration. We stayed in a twin room, which was clean and large. Housekeeping was very good and... More

Although a little dated it seems to suite the place. Attended a small wedding on a Friday. Arrived mid morning & were given our room straight away. The staff were amazing with the help they gave us to prepare for the wedding meal & then organised breakfast for us in the bride & grooms room the following morning. Our room... More

We were not welcomed when we arrived just handed pass key and told breakfast times – went to the bar in the evening and ordered a pot of tea and a Guinness, the tray was awash with spilt water and the Guinness had half a glass of froth and the server said ‘it will settle’. In the morning the breakfast... More

Stayed here on business, and was in the Suite. Nice and spacious, if a bit chintzy and old fashioned - although given that I seemed to be youngest person staying there by about 35 years it's not suprising. Room clean, apart from a large stain on the underside of the bedspread. I had dinner and breakfast in hotel. The salmon... More

Stayed a couple of times in this hotel, most recently last month. The staff are very helpful and the rooms are spacious and clean although a bit old fashioned. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance of the centre of Carmarthen with a good sized car park. More
