Pros:

Good Location Comfortable bed.

The Noise was ridiculous out on the street, the Room was to small and me and my partner woke up with a Headache through Lack of sleep, there were no sockets by the side of the bed.

Schönes, altes Gasthaus mit Flair und hervorragendem Restaurant
Pros:

Das Haus ist alt, sehr alt, aber gut restauriert, ohne die 'Schrulligkeit' des Gebäudes zu beseitigen.
Die Wände und vor allem die Böden sind sehr schief, die Türen entsprechend abgeschrägt. Einfach herrlich :D
Hervorzuheben ist das ausgezeichnete Essen. Das 'full english breakfast' war hervorragend. Am Vortag haben wir im indisch-nepalesischen Restaurant zu Abend gegessen und waren begeistert. Die indisch-nepalesische Küche ist auf sehr hohem Niveau und unglaublich lecker und auch die traditionell walisischen Gerichte sind sehr gut.

A choisir si localisation centrale et prix sont les critères les plus importants
Pros:

Localisation centrale

Cons:

En entrant dans le Pub, on se demande s’il y a bien un hôtel jusqu’à ce qu’on voit un petit comptoir Réception..Aucun service, on vous remet les clefs et c’est tout. S’il y a foule au Pub, il faudra se faufiler pour atteindre la porte menant aux escaliers lesquels peuvent présenter un défi avec des bagages lourds. Ma chambre simple au 2e étage était correcte sans plus mais le lit propre et confortable. Par contre, mon amie dans la chambre d’à côté s’est plaint d’un bruit de ventilation persistant.
Petit déjeuner inclus varié mais horreur, on n’y sert que du café en poudre! Et le service laisse à désirer.
Bref un endroit vieillot qui aurait besoin d’une cure de rajeunissement et où je ne retournerais pas.

Great location with lovely staff and fabulous breakfast
Pros:

Rooms are basic and old fashioned but clean and effort made with them like nicely folded towels , bar is very much rough and ready but barman welcoming and friendly location is great in the centre of town and breakfast was worthy of the 4 star hotel across the road .Big thank you to the staff .

Great people, Great Value, Great Food
Pros:

Its great. Its a bit of a boozer but the locals were all nice, well behaved and welcoming. The young lad who checked me in 'Neith' (?) may have got that wrong was personable and charming. The rooms are a bit basic but clean with bottled water and tea making facilities and a desk. Fine. Breakfast was fab. Cooked to order and of great quality. Forget those corporate coffins, Premier-Holiday-Whetherspoon-Inns. There are small independents out there who offer something interesting and work hard for your business. Utterly Great.

Cons:

The Council pedestrianizes the street in front of the hotel for hours and on days you will never know but this is not the only town governed by twits.

Great location for cyclists. Hope they fix the wifi soon
Pros:

Location was good in the heart of the town. There was also a very safe place for us to leave our bikes overnight. And the included breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices (really liked the pancakes with bacon)

Cons:

The guest wifi wasn’t good at all and I couldn’t seem to access it anywhere for more than a brief minute or two at a time. Also the main bed in our room (#4) really needs to be replaced as you could feel the springs through the mattress.

Pros:

Great location!

Cons:

I don’t understand why some of the rooms came with breakfast and some not. Caused confusion. Wouldn’t it make more sense to include it with all rooms? This is the sort of thing that makes NO SENSE to a guest!
