Compared to Google Photos, the location appears to have been upgraded, and the receptionist is willing to assist.

Needs updating and the windows aren’t very soundproof at all, certainly not in 222 & 226. The window in 222 didn’t shut properly at the bottom and the tv control didn’t work. Okay for a few nights away though as it’s 2 minutes walk from Carmarthen town centre

A very tired Hotel at £115 per night including a limited buffet breakfast. We stayed last weekend and were given room 208 which was for disabled use. It was not very clean, the shower was intermittent with very low water pressure. Towels were thin and rough. The twin beds were uncomfortable with no mattress covers, just a thin crumpled sheet on top of both mattresses - not at all hygienic. Pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. 1 large mug and 1 small mug for tea and coffee, why? Food, absolutely terrible. Fish fingers consisted of a tasteless mush, no fish evident. Evening meal of pan fried sea bream consisted of 4 small tinned potatoes, a spoonful of tinned mixed veg and a piece of dried, cold, hard fish. Some friends had ordered gluten free which was ignored. Others in our party had the wrong meal brought to them. Staff inattentive and unhelpful. The one exception was the lovely welsh lady on reception. I see some others have left good reviews but we speak as we found. This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in!

Pretty uninspiring hotel. Could be doing with a general decor update. Arrived for breakfast at later part of breakfast service to find the buffet poorly stocked. Website states free parking for residents but even though I put my reg details into a screen at reception I have today received a parking fine. I’m afraid I won’t be back.

I stayed over for work, and have done before but this time it felt very tired. The staff were ok, but there wasn’t enough of them as 2 coaches of OAPs arrived and they were having to queue for ages. Then to top it off, I finally got to sleep and at midnight loud music could be heard either from one of the rooms or the bar, I’m not sure, but it didn’t stop. Need security on the door at least. I had work in the morning and didn’t get any sleep. It was a Monday night!

As always, we found the Ivy Bush really welcoming with no request being too much trouble, from ordering taxis to satisfying my vegan, gluten-free diet. The bar, dining areas and outside terrace are homely, spacious and comfortable, the staff obliging and friendly.

We booked this hotel due to a lovely family meal, a few years ago. We arrived on Friday evening as we had a family funeral the following day. There was a lot of confusion regarding our booking when we arrived, even though we received a welcoming email, earlier that day. After 30 minutes we received our keys and then took the long walk along the carpet stained corridor to the front of the hotel. Whilst walking past the other rooms, there was a strong smell of spicy cooking and screaming kids with parents walking from room to room. There was a long queue for breakfast due to no fried eggs and when they arrived with six more fried eggs, it didn’t help with the long queue. The breakfast was awful and neither of my family enjoyed it, so the queueing was a waste of time. Our room was fine but then woke to a swarm of flies circling around the centre of the room. We had never seen so many flies so rushed to check out. We checked out at 9am but after waiting for 5 minutes with another gentleman we decided to leave the key on the desk, rather than be late for the funeral. I normally read trip advisor but unfortunately I didn’t on this occasion. We definitely won’t be recommending this holiday to anyone.
