Excellent value for money

Right in the middle of Carmarthen with plenty of parking available. Lovely large room with everything you need. Evening meal was very good and reasonably priced. Breakfast was very good too.

Good food, great staff, well placed in the centre of town, plenty of free hotel parking. One gripe: Room 120 is plagued day and night by the sound of machinery - possibly the hotel's laundry room? So when booking again, I'll ask for a different room!

Disappointing tired old hotel

Very tired old hotel with creeking floors and outdated rooms. Noisy and couldn't get good sleep. I had asked for a normal double room but was given a disabled one. The ceiling in the bathroom was broken and just did not feel totally clean. Overall, very disappointed The only positive is the staff lady at breakfast room who was polite and friendly.
