Not bad at all in the area , in fact I think one of the best in town.
Pros:

Great potential for the town and relatively nicely done but in desperate need of maintenance as things are following apart and it is a shame.

Cons:

No air conditioning units working at all . Various bits of the furniture need attention or refurbishment . And finally last but not least the breakfast need a better chef .

Pros:

Size of room

Cons:

Bed on wheels without a headboard so couldn't sit up without bed moving.
Minimal pressure in shower, door screen difficult to close and no hand towel.
Very loud music from outside on Fri and Sat night.
Very small breakfast and no real choice.
Front door propped open all the time, even when reception unmanned.
Extremely small cups and messy coffee machine.
Air conditioning not working (but there was a fan).
Couldn't always get a space in tbe carpark.

Good hotel choice
Pros:

Big bed, large room, clean, lots of hot water, nice staff.
Big bathroom, bath as well as shower.
Excellent coffee!

Cons:

Weather was hot, but room temperature not helped by small size of window and inability to open very wide. Better 'continental' style breakfast - maybe fruit, breads etc.

It looks as if this hotel is being run by the next door Indian restaurant which is closed (it only had a hygiene rating
Pros:

The location was good. Room was large.

Cons:

Very noisy, breakfast was very disappointing , not buffet style. I asked for a bacon sandwich and the waiter said he would bring the bacon and I could make it. He then said “will you want one rasher.

Pros:

Excellent value for money, convenient location, lovely staff, breakfast included, rooms cleaned daily. For what you pay it is of a very high standard.

Cons:

Noisy from trains although it didn't really bother me. Could've done with more choice for breakfast but again not a big deal considering it is included in the price which is very low. Room service system is an issue- put through an order online and kitchen didn't receive it.

Don’t stay here
Pros:

Location wise it was where wanted to be.

Cons:

Horrific!!! Worst customer service. Went into the restaurant at 0855, was ignored by the staff. When I collared them, they refused to give us breakfast as it was now 0902. Said, we could have the continental that was basically bread and a toaster. Shocking service, rude and poor!!! Stay at the castle, it’s a lot better

Very disappointing. Run down, noisy and unhygienic
Pros:

The staff were friendly when we interacted with them.
The hotel was located quite centrally for Neath shops and restaurants.

Cons:

At time of writing, the on site restaurant where you eat breakfast has a hygiene rating of 1/5.
The hotel is right on a very noisy Trainline that was quite busy.
The Aircon didn't work (not addressed by staff) and we had to have the window shut for the noise so the room got quite hot.
It's advertised as having parking but the tiny lot next to the hotel has about 4-5 spaces so be prepared to maybe park elsewhere.
Breakfast felt quite rushed and they didn't really ask what we wanted.
Bathroom door doesn't shut due to uneven tiles.
Hole in bathroom wall.
Rusted loo brush and loo roll holder which was also broken and wonky.
Paint peeling off ceiling.
Black mould on the shower head.
Light above the bath doesn't work.
Broken dirty bin in bathroom.
The coffee machine at breakfast looks like 8 coffees but you only have two choices.
No sauces to have with breakfast.
