Lovely beach
Pros:

The hotel looked rather run down from the outside, however its in a great location on the lovely Aberavan beach . The room was OK, bed comfortable, we had a sea view which was nice. We had breakfast, sadly the lady in charge of breakfast was clearly angry with management.
Was complaining loudly and at length about her job, banging around which was rather off-putting, also breakfast wasn't very hot.
Reception didn't have any bus information and vaguely sent us to a bus stop which was the wrong one for where we wanted to go, so a bit frustrating.

Excellent base but not in summer.
Pros:

The size of the rooms, the comfortable beds, the staff was amazing.

Cons:

We were situated on the 3rd floor, we stayed when the weather temperature was 27° The room was uncomfortable as of the heat, there were standard fans provided but they only blow hot air around so unless ypu was right in front of a fan the heat was unbearable to sleep at night. There were no fridges in the room so within 1 hour of buying bottle water or any drink it heated up quite quickly so through the night we had to drink warm water to stay hydrated.

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
Pros:

It’s the most awful looking building from the outside but inside it’s absolutely beautiful. Clean and lovely staff. Breakfast was great. Beds were comfortable. 2nd time we have stayed.

Cons:

The outside!

Hotel needs a lot of renovation: garden was unkemp with rats running round. Shoddy area
Pros:

Large room large bed staff friendly

Cons:

RATS! We sat in garden at front of restaurant and saw big brown rats running through the grass back and forth! Bait boxes looked very old. Building very tired and delapadated. Tables and chairs dirty. Chicken Thai rice was rubbery! Very disappointing! One pub along the front which was the only choice and no garden only sit on a car park. No restaurants or beach bars here either

Helpful staff
Pros:

We wanted a stopover between Sheffield and Haverfordwest so chose this hotel for a night. It had been a very hot day about 30C, so overnight it was going to be hot too. The staff kindly provided us with a fan and our bedroom window had been left opened, so we coped. Breakfast buffet was adequate and we had a sea view whilst eating it, which was nice. We have an electric car and the manager was very helpful directing us to the nearby MacDonalds, which had mid range EV chargers.

Nice hotel by the beach but staff could do better
Pros:

Nice location by the sea front. Clean rooms, good size. Refurbished rooms and interiors, although the building looks old from outside.

Cons:

no air conditioning and our window could only open slightly which was not enough for a hot day. My wife was bit unwell so we asked for a slightly late check out (12.00). But according to the guy in the reception they need 24 hours notice for any late check outs otherwise it is strictly 11.00am, have never heard this from any hotels. I am not sure how guests could face an unexpected situation.
