A good stopover with character
Pros:

Good central location, staff were very friendly to us and our dog, giving us a dog-friendly dining space. Room was a good size, clean and with extra touches like the radio. Downstairs was spacious with a nice atmosphere and layout. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Would have liked 1-2 more veggie options on dinner menu as it was very limited for vegetarians. Room was quite warm due to hot water pipes, opening windows was not ideal at night due to facing onto the high street. But would stay here again.

Welshpool was old-worldly. Buildings with black wooden lintels and classic street lamps, nostalgic..
Pros:

I had wanted a room with a bath but my bed was comfortable and room tastefully decorated. In the pictures, it looked as though you could have a bath or shower at the room price.
I arranged to stay another night and was upgraded to a room with a bath.
The breakfast was fabulous. The choice of eggs was a pleasant addition to the usual cereals and fried breakfast.
Eggs royale was my choice and was quite substantial, but you could also choose Eggs Benedict or Eggs Florentine.

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn't like.
The guest internet connection wasn't great but could be down to the area.
But when I mentioned this to staff they linked me to their staff internet while I sorted my tickets out.

Overall it's been a very good experience.
Pros:

The room was very good and we particularly liked the Roberts radio in the room — a nice touch that you rarely see in hotel rooms nowadays. The staff were all helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was good overall, although the sausages and bacon were a little overcooked and the toast slightly burnt. The hallway carpets could also be a bit cleaner.

Turn down the heat please
Pros:

Friendly staff, great breakfast and well decorated and clean room. Loved having a DAB radio.

Cons:

The room was far too hot and there was no means of turning down the heating, so got very little sleep.
