We loathed the so called hotel. Location shocking, and it was not a hotel but a series of rooms in a building.
Pros:

Nothing. Location was dreadful, not a hotel - just a building with rooms and expensive for what was offered. Just awful.

Cons:

Pros:

Locatie in centrum

Cons:

Uiterst onpersoonlijk, ik heb de gastheer niet gezien. Je krijgt via mail een toegangscode van de voordeur van het hotel en een code voor de sleutel van het sleutelkastje van je eigen deur. Werkt allemaal wel, maar vind ik wel uiterst onpersoonlijk. Er is dus geen receptie en geen enkele mogelijkheid om iets te eten of te drinken (dus ook geen ontbijt. ik ben op doorreis door Wales/Zuidwest Engeland en dit hotel was merkbaar duurder dan de andere maar dit is het enige hotel dat mij om bovenstaande redenen tegenviel. Ik kom hier niet meer,

Pros:

The hotel is brand new with good fixtures and fittings. Being in the town centre and right next to Merthyr train station is a positive for easy access to Cardiff Central.

Haystack Cafe and Coco's cafe nearby for good coffee and breakfast.

Cons:

Lack of breakfast deal with the accomodation. It would be good if you could link in with Haystacks to offer a breakfast with the accomodation. I cannot drive so without a car, there are little options for an earlier breakfast

Very frustrating and not easy to find hotel entrance and access/u door systems. Would not recommend.
Pros:

Comfortable bed. Good shower. Nice decor

Cons:

Did not receive instructions. There is no reception person all done by phone and SMS. Strange entrance and room access systems. The room access key safe did not work took 30 minutes to sort out. The entrance to the hotel was just a single door with no clear signage
