Large room. Good size en suite
Very poor shower pressure, noisy room with loud people above, breakfast buffet very average, hotel tired in many respects

Good location
There wasn’t sufficient staff available to serve customers on the Saturday afternoon. The bulbs needed replacing in the bedroom side lights as these weren’t working. There needs to be a non slip mat available for the bath as my husband fell while in the shower, which could have been dangerous.

Food was good and the prices were good. Great location for getting out and about.
One 1 towel, only 1 cup, tv, and kettle did not work. Bed was right on the wall, meaning only one person could comfortably get put of bed. The room was also immediately under the restaurant, therefore noisy. Room 61 not great for a couple. Previous stays in other rooms have been fantastic.

Staff were outstanding. Loved the atmosphere in the pub.. Lucy was an absolute star. The receptionist on arrival was brilliant. Didn't get her name, but she went out of her way to assist the guests.
Watery bacon.at breakfast.

Very helpful staff. Menu simple and very acceptable. Location excellent.
Bit of a maze to get to the room. The Ivy Bush has a really excellent reputation so a little bit disappointed to have just a run of the mill room .

Breakfast was in buffet form, it was cold , been standing a while.
Cold breakfast, room was dusty. Had to go down a corridor upstairs then downstairs to a cold damp basement to our room which I guess was because we had a dog. £20 a night for the dog was expensive I thought. I did send a complaint to the hotel but a reply was never sent . Seemed like there was only one other room used in that corridor. The other rooms were used as storage.

Really nice hotel
Receptionist could have been a little more welcoming, and explained simple thing of where the bar was, what time reseption was open if we needed anything. The basics really of working on front of desk of a nice hotel

Good value for money stay
Breakfast finishes at 9.30 and we were there for breakfast at 9am . Everything was tired looking and not very hot . But thought no problem I’ll have yogurt and fruit - however , only small pots of flavoured yogurt - no plain yogurt - which is what I prefer !!

5.0 / 10.0
Good car parking.
Carpet in my room was threadbare and needs replacing.
Bed was much too firm for me, and thus I was not comfortable.
The toilet seat was loose.
Although I could open the window, I could only have it open at its widest point - it would not stay in place if you wanted to open it only slightly.
My bed was not made up after my first night.
The hotel was busy with various parties and this meant:
(a) I could not sit in the bar area in the evening - it was heaving with people.
(b) There was nowhere else for me to go except to my room. I decided to have an early night, but unfortunately couldn't get to sleep because the hotel was so noisy.

Room was nice and warm. Hotel lounge and bar area very nice and bright. Hotel car park is a real bonus in Carmarthen.
Pillows not very comfortable.

The hotel restaurant is very nice, with very helpful kind staff. A nice stay. It is an old building with an interesting history.
A bit of a walk from the lift.

Damage window, when reported to reception management was told, window was looked at when I was out of the room,adjusted but still couldn’t be closed.
Dinner reservation made for my first night in the restaurant turned out to be in the bar lounge, food was just dumped.
6.0 / 10.0
Convenient location for walking to/from train station and downtown restaurants. The staff were friendly and accommodated our request for additional blankets. We had a twin room and the single beds were comfortable. Breakfast was decent but the coffee was bad.
Our room was right next to a fire door by the stairs and every time the door was used it closed with a deafening bang that shook our room - every time; long after midnight and before 6am the door was being used. We had two terrible nights of sleep and couldn’t wait to leave. Fix the door! Put something soft on the frame or de-tension the auto-close or anything would be better. Also, we could hear the couple in the next room talking, and then snoring. The walls are paper-thin.
