Mystery Guide Visit

Great location near St David's Station (travelled on train) and adjacent to City Centre. Got upgraded to a double bed. Breakfast was lovely but was very busy and a bit chaotic but overall my stay was very good value. Also, I left some clothes behind and the team were very helpful in reuniting it with me.

4/10 Fair

Misleading Advertisement

On Hotels.com site, I entered three preferences (private rest room, free parking, twin beds) and only one was applied to the room we received (twin beds). No air conditioning and no windows in the room. Broken fan (I had to fix it. Misleadingly named a "hotel" when it is an "English Inn" (converted home). Not clear whether breakfast was included. No hand towels or face towels. Room had odors.
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous
Alison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good, apart from the shower.

Owners were friendly, room was clean and had all we needed. Double bed was comfy but was just 2 beds pushed together which kept making a gap in the middle. Only real disappointment was the shower as the pressure was almost non existent. Overall it was a nice place to stay for the night.
