Not great
Pros:

Ok apart from the state of the quilts and mattress protectors. Absolutely filthy.
I stripped the beds in the morning ,as I always do , and was absolutely disgusted. I wish I'd checked before we actually slept in the beds 😔

Fab hotel in a great location. Ideal if going to a concert in the nearby Memo Arts Centre as it's only a 10 min walk.
Pros:

This hotel is in a lovely location overlooking the old docks. It was very clean and the receptionist was very friendly on arrival. Checked in online so arrival was quick and we were told where to go to find out room. Our room was huge with a large very comfy double bed. The bathroom was also big and clean. We had food in the Brewers Fayre right next door and was really happy. It was a value meal offer between 12pm&6pm so only £5. We had fish and chips and considering the price it was a large portion. The hotel was quiet during the night and we slept well. Didn't book breakfast this time but I know it is usually a good selection of hot and cold food. Will definitely return.

Premier inn stay
Pros:

Saved our trip! After being let down by another hotel, they helped us out last minute with a room and even set up a cot straight away. The room was spacious and the customer service was excellent — couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend.

Comfortable bed. But some TLC required.
Pros:

Easy to find, near the water. Good car parking, very quick check in. And lovely, comfortable bed. Although, the room could do with some tlc and redecorating. Reasonable price and was pre-warned about building work taking place. Not affecting us at the weekend.

This was a spur of the moment mini break in Barry. Thank you to you all for making it a fabulous couple of days.
Pros:

We arrived early but were invited to do the early check in which we did. The room was very clean and comfortable. We asked for a couple extra pillows which were supplied in no time. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Couldn’t fault them at all.

Don’t stay if it’s hot!
Pros:

Damp smelling room, windows didn’t open, no fan/cooling system and it was 26 degrees outside and inside. Shame as we stayed before and there were no issues. We couldn’t wait to leave!

We Left 7 Minutes Before Checkout Time Because We Didn't Want To Leave!
Pros:

Me and my best friend came to Barry Island because we of course wanted to see the filming locations from Gavin and Stacey. We decided to stay in the premier inn and we did not regret it!

I emailed the hotel before explaining that I have anxiety when it comes to staying in hotels and I needed to be on the ground floor and they was happy to accommodate.

Our room was lovely and we actually didn't want to leave the bed was so comfy. We actually left 7 minutes before 12pm because we didn't want to leave.

The room was clean and nicely laid out, the only thing was that there was some marks on the wall but in all fairness they were having building work done at the time. It was really hot when we went as well and as they are upgrading the hotel the windows don't open but there is air conditioning. Honestly it kept the room so cool and nice.

We didn't hear any of the building work (might be because it was a weekend but we still didn't hear anything).

It was so easy for us to walk to Barry Island from the hotel and go and see the things that we wanted to see and then walk back.

The hotel even now has a little nod to Gavin and Stacey! On the front and side of the building there is a side that says "Whats Occur-inn"

The hotel is facing the docks and it is a beautiful view!

The restaurant is nice, the only issue was that there isn't a massive selection for dinners but the breakfast is amazing, which we booked two £10.99 unlimited breakfasts. My friend had a massive full english and I had multiple different things like crumpets, a sausage sandwich and cereal!

We would 100% recommend it and we would love to go back even just to stay in the hotel!

Fair hotel but nothing special
Pros:

Qe arrived early at 12 midday on Saturday and the lady on reception showed no interest or enthusiasm just simply said our room is not ready. The man later when we returned around 4/5pm was really friendly and helpful giving food recommendations and more.
The location is good to see the sights and gavin and stacey experience. The breakfast and service at the Brewers fayre was very good and the bed comfortable. The room was ok but a little run down in parts and the corridors smelt musky.

Weekend break
Pros:

We moved this break from Easter to beginning of August due to family issues. We mainly wanted to see local area and visit St Fagans museum, which we did and was an excellent day out. We were met by a lovely young lady called Nicole on reception who was very friendly helpful and told us directions around the area etc. We had room 121 which was clean and tidy, but the floors in the room especially the bathroom made a terrific creaking noise, and the noise from upstairs was even worse, it’s a shame as other than that the stay was good.
