Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms definitely needed some sprucing up, with paint and a headboard missing, and the cleanliness was a bit lacking. Being far from the bar area was a downside too. However, the location was central and convenient for exploring, the service was a mix of helpful and borderline rude, and the dining options were satisfactory but could use some improvement.
I was pleased with the hotel's central location in Llandovery, right by the castle, making it ideal for exploring the area. The room was comfortable, and the service from the friendly staff was top-notch. The dining experience was a bit lacking, but overall, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel.
The hotel is ideally located for bikers on the edge of the black mountains and close to Llandrindod Wells. The rooms were tired with a few finish issues but had comfortable beds. The service was a bit mixed with some friendly and accommodating staff, though some instances of rudeness were noted. The location was perfect in the center of Llandovery near the castle. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of well-cooked dishes. The facilities overall were good with room for improvement in some areas.
