Travel for work so as long as it’s clean and comfortable and the staff were amazing then it’s a winner for us
Pros:

Diamond in the rough wasn’t expecting it to be as nice. Some great restaurants and bars around this place especially the Welsh house across the road

Cons:

Can’t blame the hotel for the noise from across the road at the “hotel” for undesirables. Blame the council and local government for that one

Not a good experience and I very much doubt I’d stay there again if I was to ever visit Meath again
Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable,it was 2 single beds which I found strange,pillows were wafer thin and uncomfortable and for the sum of £85 for the night with breakfast included I sort of expected hot food instead of just one or two cold meats cheese,breads,fruit and cereals

Dirty, tired, noisy, not a pleasant stay in the least.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful, good location although very noisy from the bars opposite. Parking facility was good. The continental breakfast was adequate but limited.

Cons:

Rooms were dirty, mouldy, no mattress protectors, sheets didn't fit beds properly and mattresses were disgusting. Mould in the kids room, rusting radiators, mother in law had to change rooms as hers smelled of cigarettes.

Music too loud
Pros:

Hotel was clean and tidy. Staff were lovely

Cons:

Hotel is location near a number of clubs and clubs. The music goes on until the early hours. Music can be heard in the rooms, making it very difficult to sleep

This will be our last one!
Pros:

Location was good for shops, station and to reach the motorway quickly. Staff friendly and efficient.

Cons:

We have stayed several times and each time it gets worse.
The bed was very uncomfortable and noisy. Could feel all the springs.
Unable to hang towels or clothes when showering. No shelves to put toiletries. We object to put them on the floor or by the toilet. No plug in the bathroom.
Bin in the bathroom had not emptied from the previous guest.
Television was so small, to read the writing we had to sit on the end of the bed.
No vegetarian option on the menu. I'm a proper vegetarian and don't eat fish or chicken!

Worth staying at Historic Hotel-only a Continental breakfast supplied, tho croissants were delicious
Pros:

Easy access to Railway Station - Castle Hotel has interesting, varied history - very comfortable bed

Cons:

Bathroom could do with upgrade. Outer door of room (number 5) difficult to shut. Blinds difficult to use. External noise from night clubs / late pubs does not dissipate until about 2am, though website does warn to expect external noise.

Meeting in town with a few old friends. Bachelor status, nothing remotely sophisticated.
Pros:

The location was excellent if you planned to be in central Neath as I did.

Cons:

Try as I might, couldn't find the television remote control.

My Room (24 I think) had a connecting door to the next room, and when my neighbours were in, it was as if we were sharing a room.

The bathroom was poor and old fashioned

Not a bad stay in the heart of Neath.
Pros:

The receptionist and bar lady were very polite and helpful. The room was huge and everything you could need. Comfortable and quiet.

Cons:

If you’re lucky enough to park in their car park then it’s no stress at all. But in my case, there wasn’t any space for my car and none available out the front either. So I had to park in the local train station and walk in with all my belongings. They didn’t serve food the evening I was there, but there is a nice Indian restaurant nearby.
