Provided us with what we booked for, clean, tidy basic overnight accommodation at a low cost.
We booked for an overnight stay linked to an event. The accommodation was not expensive and we were expecting nothing more than a clean and tidy room, That's no reflection on the Hotel. It suited us for what we needed. The bed was comfy, the bathroom clean and it had everything that one would need for a basic overnight stop.
The staff were very helpful and whilst we didn't avail ourselves of the bar, it seemed a nice enough bar and was vclearly popular with others staying there.
There was a function on until 12 midnights. The staff on reception mentioned it. It appeared to be a lively event, but it wasn't intrusive and it ended promptly at midnight.
We would stay there again if we needed a night's accommodation in the area.
There was nothing to not like. It isn't the Ritz but I'm sure that it never claims to be. It was a bit 'worn' here and there but nothing of concern,

Extremely convenient and great value.
Located centrally so ideal for a meeting I was attending, staff very efficient and courteous, room was basic but clean and warm. Well appointed bathroom and for the cost was unbelievably good value.
For the money being asked it is perfectly good enough and great value for money.

Perfect for a short โGavin & Stacey pilgrimageโ !
The hotel was in the perfect location for our short stay of one night (to visit Gavin & Stacey filming locations, the house being a 10 min walk away & then a 25 min walk to the island). The staff member on duty was super friendly & helpful, the bar cosy & welcoming.
Our family room was basic but had a sea view (which was a bonus) & all that we needed for one night. The carpark was a challenge as very small & steep - had we known we would have opted to park on the road.
The hot water took ages to get hot both when using the shower in the evening and in the morning.

Exceeded my expectations with such a low price point
Downstairs in the hotel was clean, comfortable and sylish.
Upstairs in the hotel, while spotlessly clean, was a little dated. It is an older building, not a new build.

Overall, it was a great stay and would recommend it to family and friends and we would stay again.
The location was great. We were upgraded to a sea view room for an occasion (which was very kind and didnโt have to do that). The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy and well presented. Bed was comfortable.
Only real snag we could fault was there there was bird poop on one of the window blinds. How it got there Iโll never know.

Mediocre hotel with no attention to detail, will not be returning.
Breakfast was basic and had to be ordered the night before and paid for seperately from the room price. Location was good as we were visiting family close by.
Only one flat pillow on each bed, asked at reception for extra pillows, they were not provided. Asked again the next day and one extra pillow was provided. Cleanliness was not up to standard, there was hair and dust found. Will not book again.

The staff were lovely really friendly and helpful. The hotel is ina great location for the beach and the train station a
It had its own character. It was clean, spacious and airy. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great view down to the sea.
Thereโs not much to not like. They offer basic breakfast only but thereโs a pub about a 2 minute walk away which offers the fully monty for a good price so thatโs probably why. Thereโs a tiny car park but there is street parking although not necessarily directly in front of the of the hotel. Itโs built on a hill so youโll get plenty of exercise.

Welcoming clean and friednly
Shane was great, welcoming, informative and made sure we were totally clear on everything. Joe behind the bar was friendly, quick and the bar was immaculate.
You can tell there are renovations underway - I'd keep going.. Make more of the outside small decking with some dedicated furniture and potentially offer a broader breakfast range.
I 100% would expect 2 pillows in a hotel, was disappointed to find it was my rolled up duvet (and had changed into PJs so didn't want to go back down to ask)

Excellent location, close to restaurants and only a 6 minute drive to Barry Island.

A one night stay en-route to a golf event
Nice clean room. Nice towels and shower.
A little more control over on-site parking would be good. Probably needs spaces being lined to prevent over-parking. We needed to get an early start after checking out, and were stranded for a time due to an inconsiderate guest parked such that he blocked the exit to the car park. The staff, however, were helpful and contacted the guest to move his car as soon as possible. Easily remedied by marking out a limited number of parking spaces.

We never stayed, we had to pay out a furthe ยฃ1100 to book into another hotel in the city of Cardiff.
The location fitted our purpose.
On arrival two of our group arrived ahead of myself, one of our group and her child were given a room next door to a fire exit, the fire exit was clearly signposted as a fire exit, when she and her child entered the room the smell nearly caused her to gag, the window was wide open yet the smell was so bad she fetched her mother, who was in another room, to check out her room, her mother also found the smell in the room to be unbearable, both ladies went down to reception to complain about the condition within the room, they also noted that outside the window was an old door and other rubbish, see pictures, on further inspection of the fire exit it was found to be inaccessible to get out off, all of this was reported to the reception staff, the guest was handed a bottle of deodorising spray to mask the smell and the promise to change her room the following day.
The guest expressed her concerns about the fire exit and all the rubbish outside the window, she was told the fire exit is not used as an escape route in the event of a fire! The ladies expressed the concern that guests would not be aware of that as it was clearly signposted as a fire exit.
Finally when we had enough of what our findings were, and none of our group were comfortable staying at the hotel, we all went to the two staff members at reception and told them we wanted to log down our findings as a formal complaint, and that we would be requesting refunds for the almost ยฃ900 that had been paid from my credit card, as we now needed to find somewhere else to stay.
The female staff members told us that we need to remember the hotel is only a two star, I was astonished at this comment, I replied the two star does not mean the hotel rooms and public areas should be dirty.

None of us felt comfortable staying in such dirty rooms and dirt and stains on the carpets and banisters in the hotel.
Very little, we didnโt stay at the hotel.
The hotel was dirty, from the outside it looked run down, the exterior required painting, there were lots of cigarette stubs lying on the front entrance steps to the hotel.
Once inside the hotel the reception area looked okay, it was tidy, two staff members, one female and one male, I said I had stayed at the hotel six years earlier, the male staff member replied that I would have noticed a big difference to the outside where it required a paint job, because of all the flaking paint, I replied โyes it does look run downโ.
Two of our family group had already checked in, and had complained to reception about their rooms, the male staff member told me this while I was checking in, myself and another of our group checked in and were given our keys.
As we went up the main staircase we were immediately put off by the filthy stair carpet and banister. We made our way to our rooms, on entering the rooms the windows were wide open yet the smell in both rooms was of a musty smell, on inspection of the rooms we found dirty grimy headboards on the beds, there was a socket on the wall above the bed in my room, this was very dirty, the curtains on the window, one had a stain on it, the window sill outside the window was very dirty with a couple of cigarette stubs in the corner, and the dirt on the window frame to the inside had never been cleaned in a very long time.
On closer inspection of the rooms we found and bathroom, the carpet was very badly stained, the floor in the bathroom was not clean, there was a toilet brush sitting in a holder that was dirty, a soap dispenser bottle sat on the wash hand basin was dirty.
The smell in the room was clearly caused by the grubbiness of the soft furnishings.

Good location, majority of staff very lovely, would consider again if mattresses are updated
Good location, near train station and walkable to other parts of Barry. Nice views from the conservatory, quiet space. The young man who checked us in was lovely and very informative, I think it was Joel, he said he was new. The bartender that day was also very friendly and helped us find our room when we were directed the wrong way. The room was pleasant looking enough and at first glance was lovely,.
The mattress in our room (17) was horrible and needs to be replaced, you can feel and hear the springs underneath. Some of the pillows were either very flat or lumpy. We didn't get a goodnights sleep either of the two nights we were there. The room didn't seem cleaned properly...โฆwe found a dry contact and some stray hairs about. When I went to tell someone at reception on our first morning about the mattress and pillows, I spoke to a woman who could do with costumer service training. Firstly, she just stared at me until I asked if there was something we could do about it. Her reply was "well we don't know there are issues with the bed until a costumer tells us because we don't lay on the beds" and "you should have come earlier as we could have looked at switching rooms but its too late now" (it was about 12:30). Secondly, I finally had to enquire if at the very least we could get new pillows. SHE should have had resolutions at the ready and the hotel should have some regular quality assurance checks on their facilities to ensure it is all acceptable, useable and comfortable for costumers.
