Top Dowlais Hotel Reviews

Village Hotel Cardiff

8/10 Good

"Room clean as always new menu and food was great too I would recommend a village hotel every time"

Vale Resort

8/10 Good

"Didn’t like being allocated a room for the disabled with an adjoining door, on the ground floor. Not what we paid for. Were then offered an attic room with a skylight type window, you couldn’t see out and it was dark. They then managed to jiggle things around and we had a decent room, the sort we expected. Didn’t use most of the facilities as we were there for a wedding near by but we did eat in the bar area. Food menu was limited and so were the cocktail choices. Don’t know about the restaurant as the wait to get in was too late into the evening. Would I go there again, probably not. Expected a bit more finesse for the price."

Lanelay Hall Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Excellent trip but I'm biased as it was my birthday! Cheers"

The Coach & Horses Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice, great value hotel adjoining a lovely bar/restaurant"

Ibis Budget Newport

8/10 Good

"No frills hotel that does the job. Only thing personally, was that the toilet was quite low for someone my height 6'-2". Other than that, it was convenient for our flight from Bristol airport as it situated right next to the M4."

The Beacon Hotel, Cardiff, Part of the AG Collection

8/10 Good

"Reception staff on the front desk were very helpful and friendly. Free parking for the duration of our stay was very useful. The mattress on the bed was very comfortable and supportive and the shower had plenty of hot water. Tea making facilities were available. Struggled to find many channels on the tv and the fan in the shower room was on all night and we couldnt work out how to turn it off so a bit noisy. Overall good value for money and room nice and clean"

Best Western Pontypool Metro Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was fairly clean and tidy, under the beds had not been cleaned in quite some time and the bathroom was in need of a good deep clean as there was mould in the corner of the shower and dust on top of the shampoo and shower gel. Staff were very nice and helpful. Room was very comfortable."

BESSEMER HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The property is a bit dated, but very clean. We ate at the onsite restaurant which was welcome. Good was warm and plentiful. Hubby really loved the carvery. We had a mix up over breakfast - we didn’t realise you had to order it the previous evening - but the manager was wonderful and had prepared everything anyway. Restaurant was quite loud (I think there was a large family in) but the hotel itself was quiet overnight. The shower water was lovely and hot, and we appreciated the tea and coffee supplies in the room. Would stay there again."

Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Always enjoy staying here great staff, good golf, lovely facilities and decent food"
