Castle Hotel ★★★

"Located in the heart of the town, a 3-minute walk from the train station, with a shopping street down the back street, and about a 5-minute walk from the large Morrison supermarket. The service is excellent, but the facilities are a bit outdated."

Holiday Inn Express SWANSEA - EAST by IHG ★★★

"Breakfast was good. The elevator was broken, so I had to carry my luggage up the stairs."

Towers Hotel & Spa ★★★

"The room facilities are old, but the environment is good, many people come here for a weekend holiday."

Sgwd Gwladys Lodge ★★★

"I stayed in the Sgwd Gwladys room for one night. It's an economy room, so there's not much space, but the bed is comfortable and sometimes that's all you need. There's a boot locker outside the room to keep muddy hiking boots. The shower is tiny and if you're tall, it can make washing your hair difficult. The provided shampoo smelled nice, but it left my hair feeling dry and difficult to comb, so some conditioner would have been good. There's no dedicated parking spaces except for one disabled bay, just on road. I was fine and got a space quite close, but I imagine at peak seasons it's difficult. The main thing it has going for it is the location. Literally just across the road from the Pontneddfechan start of the Elidir trail, a 7km treck that takes you to four beautiful waterfalls steeped in folklore. The adjoining bistro sells maps for this. I was glad that my room was so close after my walk, it was definitely a relief not to have to hobble too much further! Despite being run by the bistro, breakfast wasn't included in the price. I had the small fry-up, which was pretty much what I expected from a fry up, and a berry smoothie that was quite sharp. It seems guests get a discount if they book lunch, but I had to move on."

3 Bed House - Sleeps 6 - Parking - Garden - WIfi ★★★

The BlueBell Hotel ★★★★

"I cannot believe that this hotel claims to be 4 star. The room and flooring were not clean (see photos), dust everywhere, cobwebs, mould in the bathroom and a sock covering the smoke alarm!Breakfast (when it eventually arrived after nearly an hour when restaurant was practically empty) was cold and unappetising. No information in room about breakfast and check out times or room service. The only positive was the TV! Definitely avoid this hotel till they seriously deep clean everything. It’s a one star hotel at best"
